Reasons to Upgrade to a Double Oven Electric Range
5 Best Electric Double Oven Ranges
Many designer kitchens are swapping a range for a cooktop and double wall ovens to give the area better flow and more functionality. The problem is this layout isn’t the cheapest, and some kitchens simply don’t have the room to customize. Fortunately, not all hope is lost. If you have $1,500–$2,000, a double oven electric range can provide a similar experience, all while using the same space as a standard electric range.
There are even more perks double oven electric stoves offer, and we’ve put them all together in this guide. Keep reading to learn more about these convenient appliances, plus a look at five top-rated stoves with double ovens reviewed by our appliance experts.

Double Oven Electric RangesWhat is a Double Oven Range?
You’ve probably already caught on that double oven ranges are traditional stoves that have two oven compartments versus a single one, but there’s a little more to these cooking appliances you should know. For instance, dual-oven ranges are typically 30”, or the same width as a conventional range, but technically, there are 36” and 48” ranges that have two ovens. However, these larger models fall within the pro-range category and are considerably higher in price.
Beyond size, double oven ranges are grouped into three fuel categories:
- Double oven electric ranges, which we’ll detail more about in this guide; premium models feature induction cooktops
- Double oven gas ranges, which require a working kitchen gas supply
- Double oven dual fuel ranges, which provide a powerful gas cooktop with an even-baking electric oven; these models are the most expensive
On the other hand, ranges with two ovens start around $1,500, with premium models costing up to around $2,500. That means one of these appliances will cost you around $300 more than a single oven range.
What About the Ovens?
When it comes to aesthetics, double oven ranges are virtually identical to their single oven counterparts, except the bottom portion is split between an upper and lower oven. Typically, the top oven is smaller, and if the range is convection, the function is usually only available on the lower oven.
On the bright side, each oven chamber can be operated independently, which is ideal for multitasking or if you don’t want to run the larger oven for small meals.
✅ Good to Know: Electric range double oven models do not have a bottom warming drawer. Instead, the bottom oven sits directly on the floor, which might not be ideal for users who have difficulties bending over.
Reasons to Upgrade to a Double Oven Electric Range
Electric cooking appliances might not be the preferred fuel type, but electric ranges continue to be popular for the following reasons:
✓ Easier to Install
All you need is a standard electric outlet for a stove to operate one of these appliances. On the other hand, all gas ranges require a fuel supply, and if your kitchen doesn’t have one, it can cost anywhere from $120 to $1,350.
✓ Cheaper Than Gas Ranges
The difference in price between an electric and gas range depends on factors such as the brand and features, but overall, electric models are around $50 cheaper than gas ranges, excluding any additional installation fees.
✓ Better Oven Results
Gas ovens periodically turn on and off to regulate temperatures, while electric ovens run at consistent heat settings. As a result, double oven electric ranges produce better results with greater efficiency.
✓ More Cooking Features
While the cost of a double oven electric range is greater than a conventional stove, the transition into a mid-end price point often means these ranges come with features that aren’t found on entry-level models.
Common Upgrades Include:
- Convection Baking
- Air Fry Mode
- Steam Clean Mode
- Wi-Fi Compatibility
