Care to share what brand and if you have had any problems with it?

I do - but they are separate. I have a Wolf gas range and Viking double wall ovens.

Mine's a Hotpoint. It's nice and quiet which apart from working efficiently, is a big plus after the last one! No problems.

We have a 10 year old Wolf 6 burner/grill/double oven and have never had a problem with it.

We just built our house and went with Thermador. We have the professional double oven and a 36" gas range. We've only been in our house 7 months, but they've been great! My husbands grandmother has had a Thermador wall oven for over 40 years and never had a problem with it.

My parents bought an LG gas range with double ovens a couple years ago. The top oven is small - only one rack, but good for pizza, a cookie sheet, cupcake pan, etc. The lower oven is the bigger one, and is comparable in size to a regular single oven. Their range doesn't have a storage drawer at the bottom.
I know they have a convection option, but I think it's only on one of the ovens. I think they use the smaller top oven quite a bit, since it's usually only the two of them at the house. The stove has 4 gas burners and a center griddle insert.
When I'm at their house helping to cook, I find myself having to squat down to work with the lower oven. A little awkward, but I guess you'd get used to it.
Hope this helps! They've been really pleased with the LG brand.

Mine is a Rangemaster. Had it years. The automatic ignition thingy doesn't work any more.

I have a Britannia range with one huge oven, and one dinky one. It also has four standard burners, one long rectangular burner, and a section with hot coals for barbecuing. I have only used that bit a couple of times for this purpose as it requires the extractor to be on full strength, the windows wide open, and a pre-emptive phone call to the fire brigade. Normally I use it to warm plates.  |

I have a Kitchenaid with 5 burner gas top and the small oven/large oven combo since my kitchen is much too small for double wall ovens. I only use the griddle on the long skinny middle burner, but I use it all the time. The small oven gets used 10 to 1 over the bottom oven. I use it for most of my baking because I haven't learned to love the convection on the bottom oven. I will say this about my model....the oven heating is inconsistent front to back. More so than my previous cheap builder grade GE. We bought the Kitchenaid because it had the features we wanted for the money we could afford.

I have an LG Self Cleaning Freestanding Double Oven Gas Convection Range. Lower oven is convection, upper oven is smaller, 5 burners on tops with a grill pan. Had it for 3 years, no problems. I love using the smaller oven, particularly in the summer. I have been very happy with this oven.

As someone else mentioned, it's a little awkward at first when using the lower oven but you adjust quickly. I LOVE the little top oven and use it almost every time I turn the oven on. But more often than not, I'm using both ovens at the same time - we eat a lot of oven roasted veggies so I'll have 2 different veggies going at a time. We've not had any problems at all and I've had it 4 or 5 years.  |

Thank you all so much. I've found myself completely overwhelmed with information while choosing new appliances. And I haven't found reviews/ratings very consistent. One site will give the LG five stars and the next site all one stars. With everything else going on in my life this hasn't been the easiest task...this has been very helpful!

I have Whirlpool for the double ovens and gas range. We have never been able to get the convection option to work, but after having a couple people out, it seems to be due to our builder (who won't do anything). It isn't that big of a deal to us to not have it, since we have never had it. Otherwise, we are happy.

I thought the pan didn't get hot enough unless I had the heat cranked way up. |

I had a Viking gas range and double electric wall ovens in our house in Michigan. We LOVED them. The double wall ovens were self cleaning on steroids. I spilled cherry pie filling on the floor of the oven, and it baked into a caramelized mess. I figured it would be easiest to scrape up once it was all burnt after the self clean cycle. The self clean cycle completely vaporized the mess--there was just some ash at the bottom I swept up with a rag. I think most newer ovens have a great self clean cycle but we're so used to having to scrub down the oven with that caustic Oven Off stuff that we don't think to just try the cycle first. My ovens are spotless afterwards, and I don't feel like I've burnt the lining of my lungs completely off. I think Viking, Wolfe, Thermidor, and LG are all great brands. People have individual preferences which I think factors into their reviews--also many people who write these reviews are the ones who have issues. One thing to watch out for--once my mom came to visit and cleaned my oven because she didn't trust the self-clean cycle--"well, you didn't scrub it with disinfectant"  Then she lines the whole oven in tin foil. That messed up the temperature regulator so the temperature was no longer accurate. She insisted it wasn't the foil, and after a $100 service call--guess what?? The foil covered the temperature probes on the sides of the oven. The service tech agreed with me--the self clean cycle cleans the oven much, much, better than we can by hand--the temperature gets up to 800 degrees! Even cockroaches can't survive that (there's that urban legend that cockroaches can survive a nuclear explosion--not that I have cockroaches in my kitchen!) Our gas range and oven is a GE Profile. I really like it for a gas oven. It has 5 burners and fits in a smaller space--a huge quick boil front burner, 3 regular size, and a middle thin and long burner for oval dutch ovens, griddles, and those long cast iron grill plates. |
