I am updating my kitchen, and want a 30" double oven. We have narrowed
the selection to the Thermador 30" double oven/double convection and
the 30" double oven/double convection GE Monogram. We favor the
Thermador because of the larger useable space. I'd appreciate input.
How do the electronics stand up? Is the $1000 difference worth it?
Thanks.

We have had the Thermador double oven with the top oven being microwave
and convection. It is more than 15 years old and other than having it
calibrated occasionally, it has not needed repair and has seemed to
hold heat well. The broiler in the bottom oven has hot spots, but other
than that we've been pleased.

I have the GE Monogram and if I had it to do over, I would get the GE
Profile which has the convection oven on top and the conventional on
the bottom. The fan for the convection oven takes away from the depth
and as an example, I cannot use my pizza stone--it won't fit! I love
having the convection ovens, but in retrospect, I don't think there
will be many times when I will need to be using the convection feature
in both ovens at the same time. In addition, the GE Profile is also
less expensive!

I agree about the GE Profile. We re-did our kitchen a few years ago and went
with the GE Monogram 5 burner cooktop and GE monogram hood but chose the GE
Profile for the double ovens and have not been disappointed.
