Re: Want to replace microwave with electric convection oven
One thing to keep in mind. No compact oven is meant to be enclosed. I was able to do so as the area behind mine is open. On my previous boat I actually installed a heat shield, a thermostatic with and a fan to be able to make the installation safe.

Never saw one that actually works well enough to be either considered a microwave or an oven. Think about it for a minute, if this was so good, everyone would have one in their home as the combo is rather perfect IMHO. Must be something to do with the shielding/steel heating elements/microwaves that do not mix well together.
That being said, bought one for my previous boat which was a POS and was quickly replaced by a small toaster style oven and there was one in my Carver from the factory which was OK at best. Both were thrown out.

Really depends on your circumstances and boating style. In the three cruisers we've owned over the last 40 years, we've used an oven twice. We don't like heating up the cabin at port even with the air on but even less at anchor where we spend a lot of time. We cook everything on the bbq. The microwave is definitely used but only for certain things and because of the short cooking/heating duration they offer, they're perfect for on the hook boating unless you usually run your generator for hours on a weekend outing. We prefer the bbq and plan our meals accordingly, some cooked from scratch on the bbq and some made at home in advance and warmed up in the MW.
I suppose it's good to have both options but be certain you will use both otherwise you're wasting your money in a combo unit which carries a higher price tag. While the combos are getting more affordable, be careful, you get what you pay for. The cheaper combos are known to break down much faster than their separate counterparts. Do your homework, check feedback on-line and you'll find this to be the case still, more so now as they are not as robust as the units made years ago though they'll come with more bells and whistles. Higher end product, though more costly seems to have better feedback but you pay for it so if you don't have a decent budget, I wouldn't bother with the combo.
