Hey Linia, I was where you were about a year ago, so here's a couple of things I found. We ended up with a pair of 30" ovens and a separate cook-top. My first piece of advice may be counter-intuitve, but don't loose too much sleep comparing the price differences between the appliances too hard. While the double ovens and cook top are often significantly cheaper than a 48" 'pro-sumer' range (especially a viking or wolf dual-fuel, but even Blue Star and Capital), and as noted below the hood savings can bee significant, keep in mind that the ovens will require a separate cabinet, and the cook-top will require a cabinet as well. As you know or will find out, those are two rather expensive pieces of furniture (although you will gain a bit of storage space with them). The separates get you ergonomic benefits, as you don't have to bend down to get access to the ovens. You also have flexibility in selecting different brands of ovens and cooktop, so you can get induction or special wok rings or whatever you like (I think only Viking makes a 42" induction range), or if you cook on the stove a lot more than use ovens, you can splurge on that element or vice versa. It also allows some more possibilities with traffic in the kitchen. As my fellow Chicagoan noted above, you can use a smaller hood. Finally 2 30" ovens, or even 2 27" ovens will give you more oven capacity than a 48" (where you typically end up with a 30" oven and a 16" oven). Safety factors if you have youngsters (or plan to get them)also tend to separates. The plus's for the range is the fact that you have an instant centerpiece for the kitchen, because its a big honkin piece of (in my opinion) good looking metal (if you don't like the look-then go with the double ovens). It puts all your cooking activities in a single location. While you may need a bigger hood (and some of the things associated with it, look up the phrase "make up air" or MUA around here, make the hood prices in and of themselves look cheap), the hood also ducts any smoke or fumes from the ovens, so if you tend to create smoke or fumes when using your oven, that's a plus. Good luck and have fun choosing.

I have a Delonghi double electric/gas oven that's 24" wide. I really like how it bakes. I wanted a double oven with gas that's 24" wide and this was the only one. The ovens are small, but large enough for what I bake. I also liked the dials better than the touch pad. The gas oven is also functional in a power outage. I wrote a review on the appliance forum. You could also ask over there for electric and/or gas wall ovens. Here is a link that might be useful: Delonghi wall oven review

A 30” oven will fit in a 30” frameless cabinet. The sides of the cabinet are the weight bearing structure. But a 30” framed cabinet has 1 1/2” faceframes, that carry the whole weight of the cabinet, that have to be cut at least 1 1/2”in order to fit a 30” oven. In a basic line, with 3/8” sides, never cut the faceframe. It weakens the cabinet too much. You need a 33” cabinet. In a mid line, with 1/2” sides, maybe. Depends on the design and what is next to it. Because you also need a filler next to a wall, and between it snd the refrigerator for clearance. In an upgraded line, with 3/4” sides, the ability to do a custom size should also exist, and a 31 1/2” cabinet should work better. Unless inset and wanting either a flush mount, or to have the bead visible on the surround for beaded inset. Which some do. In a standard framed line, specifying a 33” cabinet is just the better standard choice for both clearance and cabinet stability when unsure of the proposed specs or the installer’s abilities.

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.
