Hi all, I got a single oven induction Cafe range which arrived with a scratch. I was offered compensation to keep it as is, but I'm leaning toward returning or exchanging, and now I'm wondering if I shouldn't just pay the extra $200 to get the double oven version. I figured out I can store my sheet pans in the bottom of our pantry which means I wouldn't really need the bottom drawer (plus my toddler has been attempting to climb the oven using the drawer handle and the door handle which is dangerous).


I have a giant toaster oven which I use as a second oven, to make toast, and to reheat pizza, but it takes up a ton of counter space. I would want to get rid of it if I got the double oven, but then what do I get to make toast? Just a tiny toaster oven?


I'm overthinking this, but I don't want to buy another appliance...but it's soooo big on the counter...ugh. Do I exchange for the single oven, or swap out for the double oven?

I have the Cafe double oven, got rid of my toaster oven but did eventually buy a bread toaster (Magimix, seems like overkill but it is a delight). The upper oven cavity is great for reheating most things, if a little slower than a toaster oven.

All in all I love the double oven! only slight drawbacks are:

the lidded le crueset doesn't totally fit in the lower cavity - we take the knob off

the lower oven is LOW, do not proceed if you have a bad back or hips!
