Ranges vs. Cooktop/Wall Oven Combos: Which Option Is Better?



When you’re planning a kitchen remodeling project, you’ll face a common dilemma: should you choose a range or a cooktop-wall oven combo? To help you make an informed decision, today we’re exploring the pros and cons of each option. 

Ranges

The Pros: Cooking ranges, a combination of an oven and a cooktop, don’t take up a lot of floor space, making them a practical choice for homeowners with small kitchens. In addition to their efficient use of space, cooking ranges are also more cost-effective than a cooktop-wall oven combo. You can save by purchasing just one appliance that can perform the functions of two. 

The Cons: For bigger families or larger gatherings, a range may not offer enough space to cook and bake. In these cases, a double oven or a 60-inch range can solve the need for more cooking space. Compact cooking ranges can also be harder to use if you’re older since you need to crouch down to use the oven. 

Cooktop/Wall Oven Combos

The Pros: If you’re an avid home cook, a kitchen remodeler will probably recommend a cooktop/wall oven combo for the additional capacity. Wall ovens are installed around eye level, making them easier to use. 

The Cons: A cooktop-wall oven combo might not be the best choice for those on a tight budget since you’ll be buying two separate appliances. 

Which One Should You Choose?

The right choice depends on you and how you plan on utilizing your floor space. If you’re having a hard time picking between the two, you can always consult with a trusted designer at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington.
