30 in. slide in double-oven ranges

7 years ago

Hi, I've read every thread I can find on this topic but many are old now. Trying to decide whether to get a double oven gas range, or a convection/microwave with a single oven. I use a countertop convection toaster oven daily now and want to eliminate that as part of the remodel.

I'm considering the GE Café and GE Profile double oven ranges. I wish the slide-ins weren't so much more expensive than the ones with the panel on the back! Budget is up to $2500. Was thinking about the NXR with a convection/micro as an alternative to the double oven range; I like the idea that the NXR doesn't have electronics which seem to be the demise of so many appliances.

TIA!

I read the same things, I'm sure. The GE Cafe is a little less expensive, but seems to have proportionally poorer reviews. Not awful reviews, but enough to seem to warrant the lower price. I really want a slide in, but there are more freestanding makers to choose from. But the Profile seems to have more consistently better reviews.

Are you looking for gas or electric? I'm in the same boat, reading as much as I can find, which isn't as much as I'd hoped. I do think I've settled in on the Profile (gas), though.

Hope to hear more form others.

Hi Joseph, I'm looking for gas, too. I was interested in the Samsung that can be two ovens or one, but read some negative things about it so gave up on that model.

I vote for no. 1 and a countertop oven like this Breville for the months that you don't want to use the regular oven. Here is a link that might be useful: Breville oven

Electrolux Gas Slide-in - Warming drawer or Double oven?

Comments (3)
Hi everyone, just want to report back that after some very diligent searching, I've found the correct model with a double oven: Electrolux : EW30DS65GS 30in Slide-in Dual Fuel Range, 4 Sealed Burners, Convection - Stainless Steel http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M26H2/ref=cm_rdp_product Reviews are mixed but more good than bad. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Anyone with further information on this one or other similar ones, please speak up! Thanks!!

Love your double oven slide-in range?

Personally if it were me and space wasn't an issue, I would do a range top and either a single or two single wall oven's. I would weight the cost of each of those in the style's you like as well as the cooking type, e.g. gas, electric, induction. We personally went with a BlueStar rangetop (36") and a single 30" Wolf wall oven. Now those are considered by most a higher end, but there are many many options out there that can and will do the same things. If you go with separate's it gives you the ability to get something you like for each rather than possibly sacrificing on anything. Most bakers tend to like electric oven's compared to gas, but not all. A lot of people prefer to cook with gas compared to electric, though induction is making a good run now. I prefer two single oven's to one double as if one breaks you don't lose both in that case (Worst case scenario). I would do some more research and post back some brands you like, some styles (models if possible) and what you would prefer (Gas, induction etc.) as well as a budget. Best of luck, Phil

36" range with single 30" wall oven vs 36" rangetop 30" double oven

Not sure if I'm too late to the party here or if you are still deciding. When we renovated our house 12 years agoe we went with a 36" bluestar range with gas oven and a GE Monogram 30" electric wall oven with GE Advantium Microwave/speed cook/convection above it. I've been super happy with the decision. I cook all the time on the range top and mostly use the wall oven however love having the big gas oven, which fits 2 turkeys for Thanksgiving and roasts them beautifully. Unfortunately our GE Monogram just went kaput so I'm now shopping for a new 30" electric wall oven. Will most likely go with the GE Monogram again but wish I could find one that has knobs and looks a bit less slick. If you've already picked would love to know what you went with and if you are happy with the choices.

We own the temporary house we live in and recently purchased a new 30" LG gas range on Black Friday at Sears. It was about 1100. on sale. One oven.

I looked seriously at the double oven range but finally decided the lower oven was just too low for me. I knew I would be unhappy with the height.

It is not a slide in but so far I really like this range. The bottom drawer is a warming drawer which I haven't used yet. The oven does a good job.

the burners are really good. Love the included griddle for the middle fifth burner. Silly, but I like the griddle better than the one on my Wolf range in the house we just sold :-)

not GE I know...but just another brand to consider. I gnashed my teeth over all the brands and finally just made a choice based on the refrigerator that I bought.

I am also shopping for a gas slide-in range. I've got a Frigidaire Gallery right now and the convection oven is fantastic, but it is an electric smoothtop which I loathe. If you have a good gas range, please share the make and model, and your experience with it!

The tough part is 30" gas/dual oven/slide-in. Plenty of each, and even two of the three. There are also a few dual fuel options, but the prices really sky rocket there. Can only find three 30" gas/dual oven/slide-ins. Least interested in sacrificing the slide-in or gas. May have to surrender the dual oven. At least for now.

Joe, the three I'm looking at are the GE Profile, GE Café, and the Samsung. All are in the mid $2k range. The Samsung is so interesting because it can be one big oven, but reviews are mixed...apparently if you're using one oven, the other one gets hot too and therefore the cooking temperatures need to be within 150 degrees of each other..but as I think about it, I am really never cooking anything outside the range of 300-450 degrees. Of course, bottom oven in all of these ranges is essentially on the floor, but I would use top oven 95% of the time.

I want the griddle too, but I guess none of these ranges' griddles get hot enough for searing/blackening, or even burgers...so would be just for pancakes and toasty sandwiches. Will probably end up going with one of the GE models.

We installed the GE Profile 3 years ago as part of a full remodel. I am very happy with it so far.

Model # at the time we bought was PGS SEFSS -- not sure if they have tweaked it and changed model #.

Yeah, Samsung seemed to skimp on that insert, but that's a good point about mostly cooking in that 300-450 range anyway. I hate the idea of giving up on the dual oven. I don't need two ovens often, but even for breakfast it would be handy since I cook my bacon in the oven these days. So, for instance, biscuits and bacon at the same time instead of waiting for one or the other would be quite handy. I'm kind of meh about the griddle, but I think it could be a nice feature as long as it doesn't take space away from the other eyes to squeeze it in there.
