We bought the single/double wall oven when we remodeled our kitchen 10yrs ago. I thought my wife was being extravagant because we bought the single/double, the advantium and a normal 30" wall oven. To her credit she was 100% spot on for doing so. We use the single/double 99% of the time. The smaller "compartment/oven" is perfect for baking cookies, brownies, frozen pizzas, chicken nuggets and everything else. Being a parent of 4 boys - all the food the kids want to eat uses the smaller upper space. For everyday dinners the lower space is perfect size for roasts, ham, etc. I can't say with any certainty but I would think we are saving some money by heating say an 18" oven space vs a 30". For the holiday's it is a great luxury to be able to cook a 23lb turkey in the 30" and all the sides in the single/double. It makes cooking for family and friends easier, less time coordinating what gets placed into the oven when, and allows my wife and I to spend more time with our family and friends. And everyone who visits our home falls in love with the idea and adds it to their remodel wish list. If you are trying to decide between double wall oven or this - choose this. You will not go wrong. Again, for us based upon our family, what is being cooked on a regular basis, chosing the single/double with another 30" and a separate microwave was the perfect decision. No quality issues and right amount of features. And I'm speaking as a 10yr owner.
My only knock - because the oven spaces are smaller, its a bit of a hassle to clean up the ash after a self-clean. Not impossible. Just take a bit more time.
Here's a picture of a 19 pound turkey in the lower oven. Plenty of room.
I reviewed the Twin Flex in a previous post. Still very happy with it. It makes me realize how much wasted space there is in a regular size oven. With rising electricity rates, I'm so glad not to be paying to heat wasted space.
This is the only oven that we could find that fits two separate spaces into one regular size oven, and we love it! It has some higher-end features but it is still simple and easy to use. We installed it below our cooktop, so the controls in the middle of the oven are a little it low, but we don’t mind crouching down to turn on the oven or change the temp. Overall it’s a really great oven!
We built our house in 1999 and had always wanted a double oven but was limited because of space. This built in oven fit perfectly, looks great and has more functionality than I ever imagined. Plus, the microwave is convection too! I absolutely love it!
Very nice, solid twin oven with a good user interface. However, this oven does NOT support Pizza Mode, Fast Preheat and other modes as advertised. These modes cannot be supported in this oven because each oven has a single heating element affixed to the ceilings of the chambers. If you are looking for the advertised features, you will need to buy the full-sized ovens. NOTE: GE customer service is superior. The first delivered model would not upgrade. GE quickly replaced with a working model. Nevertheless, the upgrades do not include the advertised features.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
