Best double wall ovens for you: A buying guide
Double wall ovens offer more cooking capacity than a standard wall oven for extra room to create new recipes and old favorites. Discover the features and benefits of double wall ovens and explore the options below to find the right fit for your kitchen.
Why buy a double wall oven?
As the name implies, double wall ovens offer double the space of a single wall oven so you can create more in your kitchen. These ovens are convenient options for homes that entertain frequently as you can prepare more food at once compared to a single oven appliance.
Benefits of a double wall oven may include:
More overall oven capacity compared with single wall ovens.
Cook two dishes with different temperature settings at the same time.
Can be used to cook multiple dishes with different techniques such as broiling in the top oven and toasting in the bottom oven.
How to choose a double wall oven
When you’re choosing a new double wall oven for your kitchen, understanding which features to look for can help you get the most out of your appliance.
1. Capacity
Double wall ovens come in a variety of sizes, so make sure you choose one that fits your space. You’ll also want to consider how much cooking capacity you need—larger ovens are great for creating multi-course meals for dinner parties or baking multiple confections at once.
2. Size and dimensions
Double wall ovens typically offer the same width and depth as a single wall oven, but the height is generally taller, around 51 inches. The capacity of a double wall oven is generally about twice that of a single wall oven, usually about 8 to 10 total combined cubic feet for 27 and 30-inch-wide wall ovens.
3. Convection options
Conventional ovens have heating elements on the top and bottom only, while convection models use a fan to circulate the heat throughout the oven cavity. A convection oven’s fan can help move heat throughout the oven and around your dishes, delivering more consistent results when you need to cook on multiple racks. Look for a double wall oven with a convection fan and third element to maintain optimal baking and roasting temperatures, remove excess moisture from the surface of your food and give you golden-brown crusts.
Select wall ovens from KitchenAid brand offer Even-Heat™ True Convection that features a unique bow-tie design with heating element and fan to circulate hot air throughout the entire oven, providing optimal temperatures for delicious baked goods, juicy roasts and flavorful vegetables.
4. Unique features
When you’re shopping for a new double wall oven, look for features that inspire your creativity and help you focus on cooking. Consider features like air fry capabilities to recreate fried favorites or integrated meat thermometers to help you cook roast beef.
Select ovens with smart capabilities allow you to control your baking results in and out of the kitchen with a compatible smartphone or tablet.
Cook settings like steam cook, broiling and roasting can help you make the most of your oven, and self-cleaning features help take the focus off scrubbing and scraping so you can give more attention to the finer details of your meal. Learn more about self-cleaning and steam-cleaning oven options.
5. Style & finishes
The style of your double wall oven can enhance the overall look and feel of your kitchen. Stainless steel ovens make a sleek, modern statement, while classic black or white finishes can blend with any décor. No matter which finish you choose, make sure it’s one that will match your kitchen and bring a little extra design inspiration to the heart of your home.
Select KitchenAid® double wall ovens offer expanded finish options like Black Stainless Steel with PrintShield™ Finish or unique shades like Juniper and Black Ore to suit your personal style. You can even mix and match the hardware of select appliances with confidence with KitchenAid® hardware accessory kits that are designed to coordinate with your kitchen faucet and cabinet pulls.

Double wall oven FAQs
If you’re still not sure whether a double wall oven is right for your kitchen, explore the frequently asked questions below to help you on your shopping journey.
Does a double wall oven need to be vented?
Double wall ovens utilize internal ventilation typically located below the oven door, so they do not require external venting. This is helpful for kitchens with limited space, since you don’t need to worry about installing a duct or vent hood for the oven.
While double wall ovens don’t vent outside, they still require proper installation clearance to prevent heat buildup in surrounding cabinetry.
What are the biggest benefits of a double wall oven?
The biggest benefits to adding a double wall oven to your kitchen is the expanded cooking capacity and capabilities that a double wall oven can offer. In effect, it functions as a two-for-one appliance, allowing you to cook multiple dishes using different techniques like broiling and roasting at the same time, helping you create a delicious feast without having to wait around for free oven space.
Can you replace a single wall oven with a double wall oven?
Double wall ovens will not fit in the same space as a single wall oven as they are generally nearly twice the size and have quite different dimensions, so you will need a larger cutout in your wall to replace your single wall oven with a double. It’s always best to take measurements beforehand, to make sure the oven you want will fit in the space that you have.
Should you pair a wall oven with a cooktop or range?
It is typically common to pair a wall oven with a cooktop for the ideal amount of cooking space in your kitchen. However, if you want to have even more oven cooking capacity, you could pair a wall oven with a kitchen range.
