Dual Chamber Electric Ovens... (floor, heating, microwave, appliance)

[blktoptrvl]

Considering replacement of my large one chamber oven...

Cooktop is separate. May or may not replace that too.

Thinking about replacing it with one of those two chamber ovens where the smaller oven is just big enough for a pizza or other compact meal.

If you have one, do you love it or hate it?
What is the most disappointing feature?
What is the most pleasantly surprising feature?

I have only seen those in ranges, not wall ovens, unless you count the microwave / combination oven...

I believe those combo are usually microwave/electric oven with the microwave working as convection oven as well.

They are useful and energy efficient. They require less time to heat up, and one usually only needs use the smaller one on a daily basis. It's also really nice to be able to cook 2 dishes at different temperatures. Just make sure the bigger one is big enough for things like roasting a turkey, etc.

These things are hugely expensive, perched at the tip top of the ol' "good / better / best / are you kidding" price the value is questionable -- GE PGS950SEFSS 30" Slide-in Double Oven Gas Range with 5 Sealed Burners, 6.8 cu. ft. Convection Oven, Self-Clean Oven, Reversible Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle and Power Boil Burner

Regular double wall ovens seem much better value -- Frigidaire FFET3025P 30" Double Electric Wall Oven with 4.6 cu. ft. Self-Clean Ovens, Delay Clean Option, Timed Cook Option, Keep Warm Setting and Auto Oven Shut-Off

Add whatever cooktop you want -- Frigidaire FFGC3015L 30" Gas Cooktop with 4 Sealed Burners, Cast Iron Grates, Low Simmer Burner and Ready-Select Controls

I know you are referring to something similar to


But, I would go for this instead:

plus


that is wall oven + speed oven

I was talking about the regular double wall over, assumed that's what the OP meant.

Too bad Samsung is not yet making a wall oven... I have seen the 'Flex Duo Oven' in a range that allows the oven to be full size or split into smaller size with a movable partition. A little more costly with dual convection fans and controls but great flexibility in a normal size.

We have a Jenn-aire with gas cooktop and two electric ovens.

The smaller oven is useful for much of what a toaster oven is used for. It will make toast and do pizza, works well for broiling. Because the elements are powerful and close to the food, forget about heating anything in plastic like a tv dinner. It will melt the plastic. It will also brown food too much sometimes.

The larger lower oven is full size. Without the mouse, crumb, and dead appliance drawer under it, it sits low to the floor and requires a little more bending over. Ours also has convection baking, which works fine.

You can bake in both ovens at the same time, but not much else because the current draw would overload most oven electrical outlets.

As long as you recognize the limitations of the smaller oven, you'll like it and save the counter space of a toaster oven.

We have a GE Profile in our kitchen and love the thing! We use the smaller oven for most of our cooking and use the bigger one for hams and turkeys on holidays. If you have to have electric it's a tough one to beat.
