Two built under single ovens

9 replies

Hi. I'm planning a new kitchen and looking at oven options. Due to layout, by far the nicest looking option would be a range cooker or a hob with two built under single ovens. Given the negative reviews on range cookers I'm leaning towards two singles. Does anyone have any advice/ experience to share. I'm thinking neff slide and hide so no tripping over doors. Are built under singles easy to use or should I be insisting on two at eye level? Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks.

I currently have a built under, but will be changing that in January to two eye level ovens, as I’m bored with having to bend constantly to check on what’s in it.

We had 2 built unders for over 7 years (in when we bought the house)
Never had an issue or annoyance with the positioning.

Given the negative reviews on range cookers

What’s wrong with range cookers?

Thanks for the comments. Fuss, I've just heard that range cookers can be less reliable than individual built in appliances. I love the look of a Bertazzoni range for example but the reviews are pretty poor.

We did this in our old house. Just IKEA ovens, 4-ring induction hob and 2-ring gas hob. It was amazing.

I’ve got S&H under countertop. Absolutely fine with the position. I wouldn’t have a regular flip down door oven underneath.

I’d always go with eye level-but I have really dodgy knees! I do think they’re safer than built under for the tripping aspect you mention

I'd only ever have eye level now... so much easier.

Ahh ok. I'm thinking of going from an eye level to a range so was curious.
