Perfect grounds for divorce, as far as I am concerned, unless it is your
wife/s.o. who is going to use that microwave exclusively. Nothing is as
incovenient - and potentially dangerous - to use as an oven, microvave
or otherwise, that is placed too high - and over boiling oil or other
liquids.

Your want a convection oven and a microwave oven - and you want to save
space? Buy a combination convection/microwave oven. Where is the
problem? These combinations are common - and there are many that
include a grill/broiling element, too.
