| Help! I'm a longtime lurker, first time poster - We have to finalize our appliances for our new home, and I am still torn - do I skip the 30" double oven that we'd originally planned on and instead get a Wolf single L-series plus the Wolf steamer/convection? Will I ever miss the extra space in the second oven? I know that the steam ovens are fabulous - but.... I'm having trouble with the extra cost and the uncertainty about how much I'll really use it! Advice? |

| I have never missed double ovens. I love my combi oven, and encourage you to get it, assuming you cook and are adventurous with something new! I only use my other oven about 6-10 times/year, seriously. The space in my Gagg combi is enough to cook any meats, gratins, egg dishes, brownies, cookies, pies, cakes, etc. Because it heats up so quickly, I hardly ever use my large oven (except for big gatherings and holiday baking). I wanted to pair mine with a wall oven (I also had a history of double 30" wall ovens), but at the time there was not a 30" wall oven that looked good stacked with it, so I opted for a range and combi is alone in the wall. Good luck in your selections! |

| It probably depends on your family size and how much you cook and entertain. For me, it was a no-brainer. I have never even considered double-ovens. But if you have a family of 10 and plus more on weekends, it might be a different story... GL! |

| Unless you are using all the racks on a single oven now, I would go one combi, and one wall oven ( or range). Try to think of the things you cook on a regular basis, and how often your regular oven is half full or less. I use the combi oven much more than the regular oven. |
|
| Like the others, I use end up using the combi as the main oven. I woudl go one wall oven + combi. Think about how you actually cook. Sure, it's nice to have a bigger oven than a combi, but only if you really think you will regularly fill it up. Even if you have a roast in the bigger oven, you probably don't need your second oven to be the same size. |
|
| I also wouldn't trade my combo steam oven. I use it more than my regular oven. |
|
| We also use our steam oven more than the regular oven. It heats up faster than the main oven and is great for reheating left overs without drying them out. |

| Thanks everyone - very helpful info! Combi-steam plus wall oven it is! |
