Double oven or single plus counter appliance

[Anonymous]

I have always wanted a double oven and we are looking to replace our range. Now that it’s time, I’m wondering if a countertop appliance (air fryer or convection toaster oven) would be just as good.
I make dinner most nights and bake 1-2 days a week. In my mind, I could be baking our bread and roasting dinner if I had the double oven. Does it really work out that way?

I think I'd prefer to have the double oven. I have a single oven and counter toaster oven and while I do use both, obviously the toaster has size limitations as the most it fits is a quarter sheet pan. Double oven would be nice for cooking things at the same time but different temps, holidays, or doing a lot of baking (like Christmas cookies). That said, I would still keep my toaster oven as it's great for cooking just one thing and not having to heat up the whole oven. I also have a separate air fryer that also works great for things I used to make in the oven. Lots to consider!

We have a single oven and a countertop convection oven (commercial). We use the little oven every day and the big oven once or twice a year, maybe.

Growing up, my mother had a double oven and replaced it with a single oven and a microwave. Double ovens aren't better than a single oven and a countertop oven.
