How about a drawer microwave in the island?

How about just one oven and the microwave?

Nice looking kitchen, but it's very short on counter space. I'd just leave it above the 2 ovens.

Put microwave to left of stove top in lower portion of cabinet space. Reclaim that space above double oven - where microwave used to be - with new cabinet. I also like a microwave set lower, in the island.

Depending on the size of your microwave, either put it to the left of your refrigerator, or in the bank of cabinets perpendicular to the double ovens.

If you want the microwave lower, for example, so it can be accessible to your children, you can put it in your island as a regular microwave, or think about getting a drawer microwave.

I would move both your ovens up, not simply remove the microwave. As it is now, the lower oven is way too low.

Another dilemma about the drawer microwaves.

IMO get a range and one wall oven and I do not like built in MWs since they do not last foreer and there is always the issue of not finding one to fit the space later I really dislike the ones under the counter thay are not IMO very user friendly I would do a nice wall oven with a shlf above to house the MW or just put the MW on the counter . Do not be tempted to do a combo wall oven / MW ever .The MW in the pic you posted is way too high for proper use and the bottom wall oven is too low that is why IMO just do a range and one wall oven and the MW on a shelf above .

I wanted double oven but found the Ge advantium speed oven. Microwave, convection and speed cook. It is perfect for every day use. We have a range for larger things and baking. Definitely a space saver

Since you apparently want two ovens - I would either do a range where your cooktop is, or do a separate oven UNDER the cooktop. (So convenient if one is browning food prior to putting this into an oven to have both items right there!) At any rate, then you can remove the second oven from that stack, and adjust the heights of the microwave and the oven remaining in the stack to be more user-friendly.

I'm not a fan of drawer microwaves. They have to fit a specific size, and no idea if or when said sizes will standardize when it comes time to replace it. Plus, being tall, I'd find them a nuisance for me.

This is not my photo, but we're doing this when we renovate our kitchen this spring. Right now we have a microwave over the range, which I hate. We're moving to double wall ovens and then a microwave shelf under a wall cabinet. I know the built in microwaves look nicer, but I just want a regular countertop microwave that's out of the way and not taking up counter space. You can put a regular countertop microwave in a base cabinet, or you can put in a microwave drawer, but with our cats and dog, we wanted ours up under the wall cabinet. This could work well in your cabinets to the left of your wall ovens. I agree with others that you should have the wall ovens moved up.

"I would like to not loose counter top space if possible too."

The photographer had to put some junk on the countertop to the left of the ovens just to make it appear useful. I'd put a countertop microwave where the potted plant is.

It’s an absolute No on that triple stack with the MW. That installation there should be a double oven stack, period. Is that a pantry to the right of the fridge? I am asking because I have my MW on a shelf in my pantry. I love that location; it is out of sight, yet conveniently located. I have a $115 Sharp countertop MW on the pantry shelf. I did have to get the electrician to install an electric outlet at that shelf but it was not a big deal. We are not frequent MW users.

Alternatively, I’d just buy an inexpensive countertop MW, and put it on a counter. I am not a fan of the drawer MW for the reasons already mentioned above, and also because there is no rotating plate, and also because I am too impatient for the slow-mo open and close.

I think that's a pantry to the right of the fridge, so you might be able to put it there.

Thank you so much for all the feedback everyone. Definitely gives me some good ideas to think about ὤ2. I definitely dont need 2 ovens, I hardly need 1. Lol. But I was told having 2 ovens adds value to the home and I shouldnt be switching to the 1 oven option. Is that really true? (Sorry going slightly off topic).
Back to the microwave placement, drawer microwaves are way too expensive unfortunately. And the pantry microwave wont work for us as we are heavily microwave dependent.  Im leaning towards figuring out somewhere on the leftmost side, probably give up some countertop.space or mount above the countertop if the builder confirms it wont be a hazard with it protruding out into a narrower alley on that side of the kitchen

HAHAHAH DITCH the double oven pronto. It's your home. You know how you cook! Your best option is microwave over the oven once there is only one oven and one microwave to reach. Leaving the area these appliance are placed means the next buyer can easily put them all back in if they so choose. A double oven is handy what twice a year???? for most families. Tell the contractor it's your space, your money and keep his second oven. I know microwaves are moving around kitchens recently but seriously all the suggestions thus far make it more difficult to use and for an appliance that is used daily that's just silly.

@arcy_gw: "Leaving the area these appliance are placed means the next buyer can easily put them all back in if they so choose."

Note that double microwave/oven combinations are shorter than oven/oven combinations. If you mount the ovens low in the cabinet (i.e. 12" from the floor) it will be easier for someone to swap out a microwave/oven combination for an oven/oven combination in the future without modifying the lower portion of the cabinet. He would just need to enlarge the oven cutout upward to accommodate the taller oven/oven combination.

Gulp! Wish we'd known that before. Don't let the builder bully you into purchasing appliances that you don't need.

Consider something like this, or you just don't like the microwave above the oven...period!

Thank you everyone for the additional comments, will think through these. I like the single oven and microwave above it option. Both of them are at a good height.. will figure things out with the builder ὤ2.

We went with a Wolf 6 burner gas range for 1 oven and did an Electrolux microwave above wall oven for the second. Perfect solution for us! And I don’t need 2 either! Except for holidays where every oven and burner are in use :).

Micro over a single oven sounds ideal for your needs.
