wonder what you eventually bought and if you are happy with it. i need to replace my old 27 inch thermador double oven. new reviews of thermador are pretty bad. i just don't know what to buy. thanks for any advice.

WOlf doesn't make a 27" oven. Thermador has one model , but their oven quality control is shaky. Too many people with problems recently to warrant their price. Gaggenau only has a 30" double oven. Their 27" has been discontinued for 10yrs? now so finding a new one lying around will be a snipe hunt. Viking and Dacor have too much internal trouble to be focused on making quality appliances on a consistent basis, Whirlpool / Frigemore / KitAid are con artists to put it nicely So, at 27" your "good" choices are Electrolux , Bosch and GE Monogram in no particular order.

GE and Frigidaire are the two best bang for the buck wall ovens in the USA. Good show for just starting your research of appliances. If for no other reason than resale value I would get the 30". Usually 27" double ovens are for a direct replacement of an old failed double oven. Even if you consider this your forever home, plans last until circumstances change.

I have the Electrolux double ovens. I had to replace the Frigidaire double ovens in my current kitchen and am not ready for a complete redo, so I had to get ones that fit the cabinet exactly. The Electrolux were the only convection ovens that fit. I like them. They heat up quickly, the racks glide easily, and they seem to heat evenly, although I think the lower oven runs just a little hot. I really like the proofing/warming function. I don't find them particularly noisy and I'm pretty sensitive to sounds. In my previous house I had a single Thermador wall oven and I think its convection was better. However, the electronic control panel went out repeatedly & I spent almost 2k trying to repair it, to no avail. The Thermador repair service was terrible and customer service was worse. (I was in Southern California at the time.). I ended up replacing it with a Kitchen Aid and didn't like the convection at all. When I bake a three-layer cake the layers are pretty even. Roasts come out nicely browned without drying out. I have never used the self clean cycle on my Electrolux ovens because I'm afraid of frying the electronics. They clean up easily by hand. I love the blue interior. :-) When I redo my kitchen, the decision about the oven(s) will most likely come down to Miele & Electrolux. One of the appliance mavens on this forum probably can tell you who actually makes what--I can't keep them straight.
