Hi Luvhome,

Your search sounds like mine: 2 ovens, but not 2 full-sized ovens. Like you, we want the flexibility to cook two things at different temperatures -- and have the extra cooking space for large gatherings. What have you learned about the Verona? It seems to meet my needs, but I'd like to know more.

Hi. Have you learned anything about this range? I also am interested in it but have not been able to find any info from people who actually have it. Have you had any luck?

I considered this but felt that 2 small ovens would not fit our needs. 18" ovens are very small.

I'm also considering this. Here's the manufacturer's link:

Anyone have any experience with this model or brand?

Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if the range is made for Verona by Fisher & Paykel (or vice versa)

The manuals for the Fisher Paykel:

and Verona:

http://eurochefusa.com/photos/p/660.pdf

are pretty much identical.

So apart from the controls, styling and colors, I would bet that the two function pretty much the same. There are several reviews of the FP on AJMadison's site.

Oops-- it appears that the oven for the Verona is electric and the FP's oven is gas. So not the same model-- but perhaps the same cooktop.

I considered this also but ovens too small.

Does anyone have this Verona double oven? I just bought one on a whim which is very unlike me. Verona VEFSGG365D 36" double oven gas range.

Dilly, I don't have one but would love a report once you've used it!

Two too small ovens means you can't cook anything large. No turkeys, only chickens. BTU's are too low to get a good sear. No good stir frys. It's all about looks, not function. You can get higher BTU's and two ovens in a 30" GE range.

$2159 on sale at HD

Or there's the $3059 Cafe with the smaller oven on top and the controls on the front.

Was wondering about the few who mentioned they bought this Verona- posted last year-- any updates? love it? hate it? I'm shopping for a dual fuel range and the Verona meets my depth limitation of 25". Thanks for any info!

Eurostoves, (Trevor) carries the Verona Stoves.

Nobody better than Trevor to give you "Factual Information" about the Veronas.

To me , the stove seems a bit "Anemic", the burners and especially the broiler. That is really a low output for a broiler and indeed it may set the record for a low power broiler but maybe you can simmer on it?

Here's the Link to Eurostoves and the Verona.

AGA has an oven which you can divide in two. Sounds rare, but interesting

Hi: I am also considering the Verona now. Verona makes a Single Oven Model too. I like the idea of 2 ovens, but want to be able to fit larger pans or cookie sheets: 36" Pro-style, Model VEFSGEL65S Dual Fuel Range, which looks like the professional ranges. I actually like the looks of it a little better. I asked a local store about it. they said it was a good range, but they are selling it. There isn't much written about it on line. Does anyone have one to give a review?

Dilly_NY how are you liking your Verona dual oven? I'm at that same decision point. Considered all the others and want two ovens without having to lift a turkey off the floor (the GE Cafe/Maytag/Whirlpool/Kitchen-Aid stacked ovens)! Have considered the dual fuel Cafe that puts a full-sz oven above a warming drawer that will cook (up to 450 degrees) but then I saw this Verona... but can't find a review to get a feel for how it performs in the home.

Also considering this range....but there is a lack of consumer information! Definitely worried about the size of the ovens and the low BTUs.

You should also consider the slow preheat for baking. Electric ovens often have a fast preheat feature. It depends on how long you want to heat your ovens before you can use them for baking. Fast preheat is important to me. One of many features of import.

Even baking.

Convection bake, convection broil, convection roast.

Good, powerful broiler.

Cool outside oven. Good insulation will heat up your kitchen less.

Self clean.
These are a few of my favorite things. Investigate before you buy.

im curious as to whether any more information on verona 36 inch range is out there. has anyone purchased one?

I'm also curious. About to pull the trigger on my range.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking at this oven. What did you choose for the backsplash? I'm told I can choose the island trim even though it's not in an island and it will be flush in the back. That looks better to me. Or we can choose the 8" backspash - more practical but won't look as good. They are telling me the other trims will increase the depth by 1 7/8". Not good. This is confusing. Can anyone shed some light on the trims? Thanks!

I find that my burners on the Verona burn higher the fire goes beyond most of my pans . Is that the way it is supposed to be or do I need to have the gas regulated.? It seem that the low setting on the Verona was my high setting on my GE ,old stove.

Terrimac53, I just started using my Verona & had the same issue. When you ignite & turn to high, you can then turn back Counterclockwise to get that lower fire. Works great once you know that trick.

We have had the Verona 36 inch double oven with 5 gas burners for a few years now. I really like the option of having 2 ovens and while I don't always use both, it is really handy when you need it. I have not had issues with food not fitting in the smaller sized oven (or maybe I am used to compensating for it). Pros are that I like the way it looks and its compact design. I like the different options to use regular bake, convection, etc. Some cons: I had to buy new pans that will fit into the smaller ovens (not a big deal but just something to think about). By far the most annoying thing with the ovens is their preheat time. I used to have a GE that probably took 5-10 minutes? This thing takes about 20 minutes to preheat. Its very very annoying and I find I have to plan around this preheat time all the time. Same with broiling. You may spend 20 minutes to get the broil up to temp and only 5 minutes broiling.

If it had to do it all over again I might actually go for the GE just to get over this preheat issue.

Funny that this thread popped up. The big oven on ours just died - won't heat at all. We called Verona and they had us try a few things that didn't work. We have a service call and hopefully it isn't too expensive to fix. I understand things break, but I have never had to fix an oven - ever.

Sixkeys - what happened with your repair?

And @brinkly10 - you were able to cook a 25 pound turkey in the larger side of the oven? I read a post earlier that nothing over 12 pounds would fit. I'm about to pull the trigger on a stove purchase and considering this as one of the options. Thanks!!

Hi all, we have already purchased this oven...waiting for it to arrive! Very excited to have side by side double oven. Don't mind that the ovens are smaller as we don't cook huge meals all the time.

How are the Verona owners liking their ovens? Do you find the smaller ovens to bother you? Any others with temperature or pre-heating issues?

I think the main thing I would be concered over is the top scratching over use? Anyone have protectors?

Thank you for any advice!

Tami, just found your comment. How do you like your double ovens? Is the larger one big enough to do a large turkey? I would use the smaller oven for side dishes during holidays, but I want to make sure the bigger oven is big enough. Thx

I am also looking at the Verona 36" double oven range. I see they make a dual-fuel version, so the oven is electric, with 2400watts in the main oven, and 1500watts in the second oven. Would this deal with the low-power issue of the gas oven? If I open the oven door to check on something I want the oven to get back to temperature quickly. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
