All 30-inch Electric Ranges are similar size and specification except one - single and double oven options. These two options are for two different uses and needs. A single oven will cook multiple layers of cookies at the same temperature while a double oven will cook a turkey in the lower oven and a casserole dish in the upper oven at different temperatures. Today we compare two similar, popular choices: The GE Profile Double Oven Convection Range and the KitchenAid Single Oven Convection Range.

The GE Profile PB980SJSS 30” Freestanding Double Oven Convection Range is a great appliance made right here in America. The edge-to-edge cooktop allows a large, seamless surface makes it easy to wipe away messes. A bridge zone helps you cook griddle favorites from the convenience of your range. The Chef Connect has three options with a single touch of a finger and allows you to instantly choose when to automatically sync clocks and the range elements with the microwave's surface light and vent. True European Convection with Precise Air lets you enjoy perfectly even results every time without ever having to turn the baking pan. The never-scrub, heavy-duty roller rack can be left in the oven when using either the steam clean option or the standard self-cleaning option. Easily access items with a rack that glides smoothly using ball bearings versus bushing style rollers. The double oven is a 6.6 cu. ft. total oven capacity. With a 2.2 cu ft. upper oven and a 4.4 cu. ft. lower oven, you can cook multiple dishes at once.

The KitchenAid KFEG500ESS 30” Freestanding Single Oven Convection Range is also made in America. The cooking surface provides five independent cooking elements that allow you to do more on your range. It features two dual elements a 12/9" and a 9/6". It also has two 6-inch cooking zones plus a dedicated warming zone. Stainless steel trim provides a seamless transition to countertop surfaces and enhances the look of the cooktop. EvenHeat True Convection produces flawless results. The extra-large 6.4 cu ft. convection oven has a unique bow-tie design of the convection fan to ensure the inside of the entire oven is heated too and stays at the perfect temperature. The Keep Warm Setting will help with easy convection meats, baked goods, and pizza. The range also has a time indicator, delay start, sabbath mode and timer. The Easy-Convection takes the guesswork out of convection cooking by ensuring you can get exceptional results when working with recipes. The aqua-lift steam system cleans your oven in less than an hour without odors and at a temperature below 200°F. This innovative system combines low heat with water to release baked-on spills.
