Even with just a single oven, the traditional range is a kitchen workhorse. It’s responsible for the magic of holiday feasts and is an everyday hero when it comes to creating delicious meals during weeknights. But, even so, classic freestanding ranges have their limits when it comes to their ovens. While home cooks are free to whip up multiple dishes on the cooktop, having just a single oven means constantly swapping entrées out and setting new temperatures (which requires another round of preheating).
It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Upgrade to a double oven range and instantly gain access to twice the baking versatility, all without having to compromise an inch more of floorspace. Learn more about these space- and time-saving kitchen appliances in this buying guide, including our pick for the best double oven electric range across seven categories.

What is a Double Oven Electric Range?
Before you can understand what a double oven range is, you need to know what the traditional range is. A range is a cooking appliance with a cooktop above and a single or double oven below. This setup is especially handy since it provides double the cooking potential on a single footprint.
With double oven ranges, home cooks have access to even more cooking possibilities inside two oven chambers capable of working independently or in unison as a single oven (depending on the brand and model).
What are the benefits of a double oven electric range?
If your household goes through a lot of cooking—or even if you simply enjoy entertaining—a double oven electric range is an indispensable tool for quickly getting meals on the table.
Here’s what you get exclusively on a double oven range:
✓ Flexibility – Cooks can enjoy double the baking possibilities, as well as save time by cooking multiple courses simultaneously.
✓ Compact Footprint – While double oven ranges also come in sizes 36 inches and larger, many models still fit a 30-inch build, essentially doubling the function and cooking protentional of the standard range profile.
✓ Save on Install Costs – No need to invest in extra installation costs. For example, installing double wall ovens requires professional fitting. Double oven ranges simply slide into a space.
Fuel type is also an important factor. In fact, did you know electricity is preferred for baking since it’s an even, dry cooking method, whereas gas baking tends to produce what’s referred to as “moist heat?” Additionally, buyers looking to pinch a few pennies will be glad to know electric range models are generally cheaper than gas models.

How we Choose our Picks
Having twice the oven flexibility is great, but we believe every good double oven range should excel in these three core categories:
Capacity
Double oven ranges are a bit of an anomaly. Although they have twice the number of ovens as single oven ranges, that doesn’t necessarily mean they have more oven capacity. Overall, dual oven ranges are comparable to their counterparts, which is why models with larger capacities get top marks. All in all, we recommend at least 6 cubic feet of oven capacity for enough space to fit larger roasting pans or baking trays in one oven and small dishes in the smaller compartment.
Features
Adding an extra oven to a range is great, but what those two ovens can do is also important. Convection is always a plus, but keep in mind most models only provide the setting for a single oven. Models that use the feature in both ovens are rare, but they get major points for performance.
Keeping up with a single oven can be a challenge already, so throwing a second oven into the mix can take some serious multitasking skills. We find Wi-Fi-enable monitoring is a valuable tool to have in order to track the progress of items in each oven without having to be in the kitchen.
Cooktop
It’s hard to outdo the accuracy and control of gas, which is why a well-designed electric cooktop is such a valuable asset. That’s because radiant heat doesn’t only transfer to cookware—it also escapes into its surroundings. The best electric cooking surfaces are versatile to ensure whatever size pot or pan you’re using is receiving optimum heat transfer. Other incentives that were nice include a bridging function, hot-plate safety notifications, and an easy-to-clean surface.
Top Double Oven Electric Range Brands
When it comes to cooking, you can count on the following brands to make the job easier. Read about some of the attributes each brand offers with our brand profiles below.
Whirlpool
Making dinner can be a production, which is why Whirlpool seeks to simplify the routine with easy-to-use features and powerful cooking technology. Like its lineup of single oven ranges, Whirlpool double oven ranges are made with convenience in mind. On double oven electric range models, that includes the FlexHeat triple radiant heating element that accommodates up to three different cookware sizes on a single heating zone, as well as handy oven functions, from true convection to Frozen Bake technology.
KitchenAid
If you enjoy the familiarity of Whirlpool but are looking for something a little more upscale, consider KitchenAid double oven electric ranges. The brand is part of the Whirlpool family of appliances, so reliability comes standard as part of its complete package of upgraded features. Of those, KitchenAid offers professional designs that complement its powerful range functions, including KitchenAid Even-Heat True Convection with a patented bowtie fan design for superior air circulation. Along with flexible heating elements, premium oven racks, and large capacities, these appliances are part of an affordable luxury line we highly recommend.
Samsung
Features-forward shoppers will find Samsung double oven electric ranges especially a treat. Innovative technology is at the core of each model, providing new-age functions like Wi-Fi management, including voice controls, or Virtual Flame Technology, a series of LED lights on the cooktop surface that replicates a live flame for easier cooking intuition. Even more, flexibility is at your fingertips with Flex Duo on select models that allows each oven to work independently or combined as a single oven. In fact, the list of add-ons is so impressive, we’re better off listing the rest:
⊳ Smart Dial – Control both ovens from a single interface as this AI-enabled dial learns your cooking habits for a smoother cooking process with every use.
⊳ Air Fry – Samsung double oven ranges with Air Fry eliminates the need for a countertop air fryer. Select the setting and whip up big batches of pub favorites in one go.
⊳ Illuminated Knobs – Along with Samsung’s Virtual Flame Technology, this safety feature lets users know when a burner is on….and the pop of color is flashy and fun.
LG
Need even more oven space? You’re what we call the extreme home cook—and LG is just the brand for you. With 7.3 cubic feet of oven capacity, LG double oven electric ranges are the most spacious ranges in their class. Yet, with a 30-inch build, a freestanding double oven electric range won’t take up any more room than a standard freestanding range. They are packed when it comes to value, though, offering features like ProBake Convection, flexible heating elements, and EasyClean self-cleaning oven setting. And with LG ThinQ technology, a simple smart device becomes a mobile hub to control these smart double oven ranges from virtually anywhere for ultimate convenience.
GE, Café & GE Profile
The GE lineup of home appliances counts on over a century of manufacturing, culminating in products that are designed for convenience and performance. When it comes to GE, GE Profile, and Café double oven electric ranges, preparing meals is as simple as using powerful heating elements on the cooktops with the ability to bridge to accommodate larger cookware or fluctuate between 6—12 inches to match the size of your collection of cookware. The convenience continues inside powerful ovens with convection, no-preheat Air Fry, and rapid preheating that lets you create and finish dinner faster and more efficiently.
