I can only speak about the Elux Icon oven as that is what I have, and I have not listened to other ovens sorry! I can tell you the Elux oven is very quiet, close to silent, even when running convection. It vents warm air, not hot, out the front, but I can not hear the fan run. Hopefully You can get to an appliance store where some might be hooked up and listen to them, keeping in mind that they will probably sound quieter in a show room than in your kitchen--due to the usually more noisy environment of a show room. Good luck with your decisions, we still are not seeing a lot of "Positive posts" about KA ovens, so factor that in. I'm assuming you are talking about an Electric wall oven? Gary

Nice bit of "Jenn-air" history, hvtech42! My only disagreement with it would be to "Lump all the JA products together" in the "History Lesson". I have no experience with the JA cooking products, (cooktops, ranges, ovens~~~etc). But I do have a lot of experience with a Jenn-air Fridge and in fact, I've done a lof of research on them. Back in 2006, I was looking for a 48" built in fridge. Back then, I only had 3 choices, (or at least that's all I could find in stores and on the net). One was GE, since I had a GE S X S full sized fridge I was going to replace, (I could not get icemaker parts even during it's one year warranty)!!, & It leaked and rusted out the sides of the fridge~~sooooo~~~~GE was out of the running, (back in 2006). The other choices were SZ and Jenn-air. Apparently SZ was having evaporator problems back in 2006, (some say it was a copper problem, others say it was caused by copper tubing and aluminum fins on the tubing)~~~~anyway~~~SZ was rated "Dead Last" in reliability by Consumer Reports~~~~yeah I know, but I took time to research the evaporator problem and found out enough about it to scare me off! Jenn-Air "S X S as well has built ins" have been rated the #1 fridge for reliability by readers of Consumer Reports since 2006, and today I believe it is "Tied" with another manufacturer for the #1 position, SZ is about 4 points below, (So not significant, at least to me). The Jenn-Air of 2006 was "Way Ahead of it's Thyme". It offered conveniences and attributes that even most fridges today don't offer. It was one of the first to use the variable speed compressor, very quiet and efficient and great temp control. It has digital readouts and settings for 3 different areas of the fridge, (Meat Keeper, Chrisper and main compartment). It has a 4th digital readout and control for the freezer. It has crank up and down shelves---luv those, so handy when encountering a tall bottle or whatever! The fridge also has built in Diagnostics The disgnostics will check the speed of every fan in the fridge, it will check compressor speed, check the flap operation between the fridge and freezer, all in all about 31 diagnostic test~~~~~sooooo~~~~if I ever have a problem with the fridge, I should be able to pretty well "Nail down" which part is causing the problem and make sure the appliance repair company has it, BEFORE they come out and have a "Look SEE" as they do with most fridge repairs. So, great history lesson, but I think you have to (at the very least) split the JA Fridge from the JA cooking appliances to really see "The Whole Picture"! Unfortunately, today, 2014, it looks like Whirlpool may have removed a lot of the things I really like about my JA Fridge, The crank up/down shelves, The 3 different temp settings for different areas of the fridge, and I would bet money they removed the "Diagnostics" Too!!

I made the huge mistake of purchasing the stove/dbl oven/dual fuel appliance you are speaking of this past June 2008. DON'T DO IT.........THE CONVECTION FEATURE DOES NOT WORK. Whirpool, acquired Kitchen Aid, Jenn Air and several others in 2006. Since then it would seem to be their mission to destroy the quality products previously manufactured by these companies and to totally trash their reputation of quality and customer service. My husband and I are planning a two hour drive to the corporate headquarters in Benton Harbor MI to try and get some satisfaction. You may want to check Better Business Bureau, Attorney Generals Office Consumer Complaint Division and read the over 100 customer complaints on the website I am going to refer you to. We have had 4 service calls and spent hours on the phone w/people that must have been given a lobotomy before being hired into this company. The website is Amy's humble musings or humblemusings.com/archives/2005/10/18/buyer-beware-an-open-letter-to-the-kitchenaid-ceo. Apart from the fact that this conglomerate is ruining the reputation these companies previously enjoyed, they have also trashed the quality, caused thousands of $'s in customer reported losses and damages, and endangered the safety of the consumers, with inferior products that burn, blow up, leak, etc. Here is a link that might be useful: Amy's humble musings

I have a GE profile with the bottom oven being the small one. It's gas, has 5 burners and is convection in the large oven. I like it a lot. Got it at Home Depot. I think GE makes an electric one with the smallest oven on top. I didn't like that i'd have to bend over so far to get to my largest/heaviest baked items if I baked in the larger oven. The door would have folded down and nearly laid on the floor. I chose to stick to the small oven on bottom.
