Get another microwave/oven combi or mini oven?

textbook

Had a microwave/oven combi thing which has broken(on brackets on right), only used the oven part as already haveca microwave.  Should I buy another one or get a mini oven (in pix)and put that on the brackets?

Got a big oven for big stuff but need something cheaper and quicker for small things .

Hi Textbook.

What are the capacities of your two current wall-mounted ovens? 

A good microwave/fan oven combo is a really useful device, and would be my personal choice - lose that second microwave.

Do you have an air fryer? It does things the combo doesn't, so is a genuinely useful addition.
It doesn't seem sensible to me to go for 'just' a worktop oven like the Ninja, great though I'm sure it is.

But you should choose a combo carefully - we have a Sharp R959 which is pretty physically BIG, but does offer 40 litres of capacity, so carries out 90% of our cooking, and very effectively too. And then we have a Tefal LF-12P 6.2 litre A/F (and grill and steamer) which is great for zapping things quickly, and has fully earned its place. Great for veg too. 

These two devices handle everything - other than hob, of course - and leave now't to be desired. Our normal 'big' oven, like yours, is a Christmas/extended family meal thing only. 

But a separate w'top/wall oven and MW? I don't get it.

OP - Be aware that the name 'air fryer' is as much a marketing description as anything.
They are basically just small fan ovens, so with a big oven and a microwave as well, you are pretty much covered for most things.

I think @outtatune was merely commenting on the watermark on the OPs photos, and how to remove them.  (Not that the OP had asked.....!)

Do you ever find yourself needing two microwaves at the same time?  Personally, I'd find it useful (although only have one), but I do have two teenagers!  If you do, I'd get the combi so at least you have the option, even if it's not used all the time.

If not, I'd just get a separate oven as I tend to think that multi-purpose items will always be a bit of a compromise for all functions.  I definitely see the attraction of two separate appliances when cooking a meal.  I'd never get anything on the table if I couldn't microwave at the same time as using the oven.

It looks like you already have an air fryer so I assume you know the possibilities there!

OK, too technically advanced for me !
