# Three-In-One Free-Standing Ovens The Midea Wave Range is Multi-Functional and Space-Optimizing By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-09-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freestanding-oven References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/midea-unveils-the-wave-range-at-ifa-2025-europes-first-multi-functional-3-in-1-free-standing-oven-for-modern-family-kitchens-302546629.html)  At IFA 2025 in Berlin, the Midea Wave Range is presented as a novel free-standing oven that consolidates the functions of several separate devices into a single unit. As such, the kitchen appliance is specifically designed to serve people with [spatial constraints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-kitchen-appliances1). Midea shares that the development of the three-in-one free-standing oven was informed by substantial market research focused on European urban living, where kitchen square footage is often limited. The Midea Wave Range includes three components — an induction cooktop on the surface, an upper compartment that operates as a [combination microwave, grill, air fryer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-microwaves), and toaster, and a larger lower oven that incorporates the company's proprietary graphene heating technology for rapid heating. This configuration is engineered to allow for [simultaneous cooking tasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actifry-appliance), such as using the microwave while the main oven is in operation, which is a capability not typically found in standard single-oven ranges.
