The best electric wall double ovens
The GE Profile PTD9000SNSS came out on top as the best electric double wall oven because of its clever features including air frying, self-cleaning, touch controls and gliding racks.
Offering plenty of space for cooking up lots of meals, this double oven’s camera means you can check on your food without even looking through the door. The oven also has a Precision Cooking function, touch screen controls, and an air frying mode.
And it’s not just the clever features that we liked either, this double oven is a great all-rounder. The oven doors are soft-closing and its racks glide in and out with ease. There’s only one choice of color finish to this oven and the warranty is just for one year, but with gleaming user reviews, the GE Profile PTD9000SNSS is a good, solid purchase.

The Maytag MEW9630FZ electric double wall oven offers five cubic feet of space in each oven, making it a great choice for family cooking or those that cater for a crowd regularly. The 10-year warranty on this model is also pretty impressive as most ovens we reviewed only had a one-year warranty.
Clever features we liked include the rapid preheat setting, delayed bake option and the convection oven. Although, it has to be said we’re disappointed that this oven doesn’t have self-cleaning functions and the convection cooking option is only available in the upper oven, rather than both.
If you don’t mind those drawbacks, the Maytag MEW9630FZ electric double wall is a great all-rounder.

The LG LWD3063S electric wall oven offers a decent capacity and is smart cooking enabled, it does have less cooking functions than some of the ovens we reviewed.
You can, however, easily adjust the oven’s controls with the app that can be downloaded to go with this oven. Another handy feature with this model is the large window on each of the oven doors, which allows you to check your food without opening the door and letting heat escape.

With 4.3 cubic feet of cooking space inside each oven, the Viking 3 Series RVDOE330SS electric wall oven was one of the smallest capacity ovens we reviewed but, what it lacks in space, it makes up for it many other ways.
Standout settings on this double oven include the defrost and dehydrate settings. The dehydrate setting is fairly rare in double ovens and allows you to create your own beef jerky or fruit leather.
As well as that, this oven also has a handy delay bake option and convection capabilities in both ovens.

This KitchenAid double wall oven has plenty of smart features like the ability to delay the start of your cooking and timed bake options. It also has a control lock and automatically shuts off when a timed bake cycle ends. These safety features are great if you've got small children and want to stop wandering hands.
We love these oven's large capacities: both are 5.0 cu. ft. capacity, so you can cook your main and dessert at the same time. They also have a self-cleaning cycle so you can clean the mess easily.
This oven is highly rated by customers, scoring an impressive 4.6 stars out of 5 on Best Buy's website (opens in new tab) with an overwhelming number of 5-star reviews. Positive reviews praise the oven's build quality and ease of use, while some unhappy customers complained about the noise the appliance makes and the poor quality of KitchenAid's customer service.
The Samsung NV51K7770DG/AA is a smart double oven that comes with the brand's Flex Duo technology, a removable divider that lets you convert one oven into two. You can cook two separate dishes at different temperatures in one of your double ovens thanks to the removable divider and dual temperature controls. This double oven also comes with a Steam Cook tray that allows you to bake and roast your ingredients while preserving their moisture.
You can connect your appliance to the SmartThings App, which means you can monitor and control your oven from your smartphone. Whether it's preheating, turning it off or adjusting the cooking temperature, you can do it from anywhere. Paired with the Gourmet Cook recipe guide, you can program your oven to cook new recipes easily.
Although it comes in only two colorways, black and stainless steel, the Samsung NV51K7770DG comes with fingerprint resistant design and illuminated control knobs that let you know when the oven is on or off.
This oven is definitely on the premium end of the spectrum, and won't be suitable if you're a budget.
