7 of the Greatest Tiny Home Ovens

Choosing the right tiny home oven is an important decision, especially when you’re working with limited  space or a tight budget. You still want to be able to cook all your favorite meals, but your appliances need  to fit in your tiny kitchen without making you claustrophobic.  

Luckily, there are lots of options to pick between, from traditional electric or propane ovens which have a  built-in stove, all the way down to tiny toaster ovens for your countertop. To help you get started on your  search, here’s a list of some of the best tiny house ovens.

Electric or Natural Gas Ranges:  

If you love to cook and you have the space and energy resources available in your tiny home, consider an  electric, gas, or propane oven with a stovetop — the same kind you’d find in a traditional house. Sure,  you might be able to cook food with your tiny home’s wood stove if you really need to, but having a  kitchen with a dedicated range gives you more freedom while cooking, and for those with less space, you  can find smaller models to fit most tiny kitchens. Below are a few of the best options on the market.  

A stainless finger print resistant electric range

Product specifications

  • Fuel Type: Electric 
  • Voltage: 240V 
  • Oven Capacity: 5.3 cubic feet 
  • Dimensions: 29.87” x 37.25” x 28” 
  • Weight: 200 lbs. 

The Good

  • Range gets hot quickly, and stays hot 
  • Wi-Fi compatible, with many helpful features 
  • Air-frying for crispy food without excess fatty oils 
  • Finger-print resistant finish 
  • Self-cleaning mode 
  • Fit Guarantee

The Bad

  • Pricey 
  • A moderate amount of configuration needed

If your kitchen has the space, this stylish tiny house electric oven can do almost any cooking task you  need — including air frying, without needing to preheat. The oven features the True Convection system,  which uses a third heating element and a reversing fan for the ideal heat circulation. It’s Wi-Fi enabled,  too, so you can manage the oven from anywhere, or just use the classic touch controls on top. 

The power boil element, which concentrates heat, is a nice touch, and you won’t need to wait around for  ages for water to boil. Plus, with five elements total, you can cook many different components or dishes  at once.  

robin-egg-blue-unique-single-oven-gas-ranges-with-open-stove-door

Product specifications

  • Fuel Type: Gas 
  • Voltage: 120V 
  • Oven Capacity: 2.9 cubic feet 
  • Dimensions: 39.4” x 24” x 29.5” 
  • Weight: 156.53 lbs 

The Good

  • Fun retro design 
  • High-quality stainless steel construction and chrome-finished accents 
  • Roomy oven space 
  • Sealed burners for easy cleanup 
  • Available in a variety of colors 

The Bad

  • Some users found the oven sometimes goes out on the first lighting attempt

This robin egg blue-hued gas oven is a bit smaller than our last pick, making it easier to fit in tiny home  kitchens with limited space, plus it looks beautiful. It’s a gas stove, so if you’re living in an off-grid tiny  home with limited power, it might be easier to use than pure electric ovens — just be aware that it still  uses some electricity to ignite and run the convection fan.  

There’s also storage on the bottom for your pots and pans, which is convenient. If you’re less bold with  your color choices, it’s available in more muted tones too, like summer mint green or a sleek midnight  black. Match it with your favorite kitchen appliances for a truly aesthetic space to cook. 

Wayfair-20-inch-freestanding-gas-range

Product specifications

  • Fuel Type: Gas 
  • Voltage: 120V 
  • Oven Capacity: 2.3 cubic feet 
  • Dimensions: 42” x 19.5” x 23.5” 
  • Weight: 130.07 lbs. 

The Good

  • Affordably priced for the level of quality 
  • Easy to clean 
  • Straightforward installation 
  • Can be manually lit in case of a power failure 
  • Good for small homes, but still has four burners 

The Bad

  • Oven space is a bit tight 
  • Only available in white 

For anyone with a tiny space in their kitchen, this is the smallest gas range of the bunch at only 20” — one  of the smallest you’ll find available in this oven style. This gas oven has an electric spark ignition, too, and  there are four sealed burners on top for clean and safe cooking. The grates are all enameled, so they  should last you a long time.

The oven’s interior isn’t the largest, of course, but you should still be able to do most of the baking or  broiling you need. There are four positions where the slide-out racks can sit, to help accommodate larger  foods like a Thanksgiving… chicken! 

Countertop Ovens:  

Large electric or gas ovens aren’t the only way to go for your small kitchen. There are some great  countertop ovens out there that you probably won’t feel limited by, plus they let you utilize the storage  space underneath the counter. So, if you need an extra small oven for your tiny house, consider one of  these countertop models. 

Ninja toast oven for counter tops in a tiny home

Product specifications

  • Dimensions: 19.72” x 7.56” x 14.96” 
  • Weight: 18.56 lbs. 
  • Voltage: 120V 
  • Wattage: 1750W 

The Good

  • Can cook food many different ways 
  • Easy to store  
  • Cooks quickly and efficiently
  • Easy to clean

The Bad

  • Interior height is too small for something like a roast chicken 

This Ninja model isn’t just a countertop oven, but it’s a broiler, pizza oven, air fryer, toaster, dehydrator  and more. The interior is quite large, too — you can cook up to a 13” pizza, or four whole chicken thighs,  inside. When you’re not using the oven, just flip it upwards against your wall and it can save you some  precious counter space. It can’t work as a stovetop, of course, but since it’s so compact, it’s easy to pair  with an induction cooktop anyway.  

Dualit-Tiny-mini-oven-for-a-tiny-kitchen

Product specifications

  • Oven Capacity: .77 cubic feet 
  • Dimensions: 31” x 22” x 29” 
  • Weight: 12.4 lbs. 
  • Wattage: 1600W 

The Good

  • Compact design 
  • Multiple cooking functions 
  • Durable in the long run 
  • Easy to clean 

The Bad

  • Doesn’t have many bells and whistles 

Even though the Dualit Mini Oven is super compact, it still has a decently sized cooking area, so you’ll be  able to roast or heat up lots of different dishes. The non-stick interior is helpful when it comes time to  clean, too, since all you’ll need to do is wipe it down, and there’s a removable tray to get out all the pesky  food crumbs.  

This countertop oven also heats up quickly — from a starting temperature to 425 degrees-Fahrenheit in  just under nine minutes — so you won’t need to stand around for ages waiting to put in your pizza.  

Dash-compact-toaster-cheapest

Product specifications

  • Dimensions: 7.7” 6.3” 7.2”
  • Weight: 3.2 lbs. 
  • Wattage: 550W 

The Good

  • Cute color and design 
  • Perfect for toasting small foods 
  • Automatic shut off 
  • Easy to clean 

The Bad

  • The very small size significantly limits what you can cook  

Ovens don’t get tinier than this mini toaster oven from Dash! You obviously won’t be able to cook normal  dinners in it, but if you’re just heating up a sandwich, half a bagel, or breakfast roll in the morning, you’ll  save a lot of time and electrical energy. It comes in a cheery yellow color with lots of vintage charm, so  it’ll look great in your tiny kitchen.

Cleanup is a breeze, too, since the removable parts inside, like the rack, baking tray and crumb tray, are  all dishwasher safe. Plus, it’s easy on the wallet, so adding it to your kitchen isn’t really a huge investment.  It’s a cheap buy, so if you break it you may be able to buy another one :P. Ultimately, you’re not cooking anything larger than a pizza in here!

Microwave Ovens:  

If you don’t really cook that much and don’t need a whole oven, or you’re trying to build a tiny home on a  very tight budget, maybe a simple microwave like the one below is all you need for your meals.  

LG stainless steel microwave.

Product specifications

  • Oven Capacity: 1.5 cubic feet 
  • Dimensions: 21.41” x 12.13” x 17” 
  • Weight: 26 lbs. 
  • Voltage: 120V 
  • Wattage: 1200W 

The Good

  • Sleek exterior that wipes clean easily 
  • Compact, but spacious on the inside 
  • Heats up food quickly 
  • Anti-bacterial coating inside, which resists stains 

The Bad

  • Some users said theirs stopped working sooner than they hoped 

The LG NeoChef Countertop Microwave has a very large interior for a microwave oven, and it’s built with  sensor cooking technology that can automatically adjust cooking time and power when needed. And  don’t be fooled, microwaves aren’t only great for reheating food. Many professional chefs use  microwaves on the daily, for things like rice, steaming vegetables, or even pre-cooking meats before  giving them a final sear in a pan. 

This one also has an interesting turntable I’ve never seen used before. Instead of the usual three wheels,  the spinning plate has six, which keeps it more stable and stops your dishes from tipping and slipping.  

We hope this list helps you on your journey to find the perfect oven for your space. If you still have any  questions about tiny home ovens, read on for some answers! 

Frequently asked questions about Tiny stove or Ovens.

What’s the best tiny stove and oven combo? 

While there are lots of different options to choose from, a classic electric or gas range is probably the best  combination of a stove and oven. If you don’t have space for even the smallest options, you could also  use a countertop oven and a burner cooktop and keep them safely stored away when not in use. 

What is a micro-kitchen?  

Micro-kitchens are essentially just compact kitchens, with every appliance working together to take up as  little space as possible. Most micro-kitchens still have all the essentials of some kind in a small space, like  a stove, oven, fridge, and dishwasher, so building one doesn’t mean sacrificing functionality. See our  other tiny house kitchen guide if you need any help planning your kitchen efficiently, and check out our  list of some of the best tiny house appliances to set your yourself up for success. 

Is it possible to have a tiny house stove, oven, and dishwasher combo?  

It’s definitely possible to fit all three of these appliances in your tiny house but finding them all together  in one unit or to DIY can be a challenge for the average consumer. Some designers and architects have  achieved this, though, so consider having your tiny house professionally designed if you really want your  kitchen as condensed as possible. There are also little portable tools you can buy to turn your tiny house  sink into a dishwasher, if you’d like, or handwashing your dishes isn’t the worst thing.  

How should I choose my tiny oven for my house?  

Start by figuring out the size of oven you’ll need, and what kind of power you’ll be able to supply to the  oven. If you’re living in an off-grid tiny home, for example, you might be reliant on solar power, which  probably won’t be able to power your electric oven on a cloudy day. Using a propane oven might be best  in that situation, but otherwise, gas and electric ranges or countertop ovens are your friend. Make sure  you set up the appropriate venting, too! 

What are some important things to look for in buying an oven or stove for a tiny home?  

Besides making sure your new tiny house oven fits in your budget, the other most important thing you  should be looking for is the functionality. Do you need your oven to have a built-in stove, or would you  prefer a countertop oven to cook your meals? Do you really need an oven, or do you just want an induction cooktop and a microwave? Answering questions like these will help you figure it out. But, if you  want an appliance that won’t limit your cooking, opt for an electric or gas range.
