I would think the only time it is an issue is for a large Thanksgiving. Do you host often OP?

I have had GE Cafe and Wold / Viking and I didn't really notice a difference. The only thing I noticed was the consumer reports warnings about high repair bills for viking / wolf.

It's only important if your entertaining style requires 2 ovens on a regular basis. We entertain a lot and get by with one oven and a warming drawer. The oven is a wolf that has 3 shelves and convection so can cook a reasonable amount at the same time. I think you lose a lot of space in those oven and a half things. The only time it's a challenge is thanksgiving since a turkey can take up the whole oven.
Do you have a double oven now?
The GE Cafe oven has a full size on the lower oven and a half size on top.
I don't have a double oven but when I was viewing homes I saw a lot of them do.

It's a matter of personal preference. Do you bake a lot? Do you roast large chickens a lot?
I don't bake that much but in general I would like to make sure the home has a good resale value if we decide to move in a few years.

Never heard of this being a deal breaker. If you need a double oven and can afford a $1.5+ million house you can redo the kitchen. How often do you plan to use the double oven? Would a convection microwave do the trick if it's only once or twice a year?

Other than the oven issue you really like the house? If you have $1.5 million to spend, shouldn't be too hard to add a double oven.

$1.5 million is basically a starter home in McLeen. If you want a double-over, buils one in. Or for that price, you're probably getting a teardown anyway.

Many people were able to reach happiness and bliss without having a double oven in their home.

We are looking at 1.5 million dollar properties in mclean and noticed a few don't have a separate double oven and have a single oven under the range.
Would it be a deal breaker?
I do notice that one of the houses had a huge amount counter top space and obviously didn't want any to be broken up or taken up by a double oven.
How would a double range oven work out? I notice these have 1 full size oven and another half size.
