Hayley,

Rather than DeLonghi, I would recommend Miele ovens. Much better dealer service network, very well engineered and perform well. You're probably looking at a 60cm oven (approximately 24" wide). Gaggenau is discontinuing their 24" ovens in favor of 30" wide ovens for the American market.

Good luck!

I'm bumping this back to the top because I've also looked at the Delonghi double oven. I love the idea of the small electric oven and larger gas oven. I think I'll really like that, but I can't find much information about them. Does anybody have a delonghi wall oven or know anything about them?

I'm looking at 24 inch ovens too. I just spoke with my local appliance store about the new Fisher Paykel 24" ovens and the salesman said that Fisher Paykel bought DeLonghi, changed the look a bit, and is now selling them as Fisher Paykel's. He said he'd seen one of the DeLonghi versions and thought it was very beautiful...hasn't had any complaints far as he knew.

I'm thinking I might get a pair for my kitchen :=)

delonghi is part of fisher paykel so the ovens are the same. Our experience has been positive for the most part with the company. Service seems pretty reliable around here(ny/nj/ct area) I would check with the distributor in the area (here its eurochef) to see how service in your area is first because they may have a limited network near you.

I don't know if they work like the ranges do but the ranges use a thermocouple system so you have to hold the knob in for 10-15 seconds when you light or it wont stay lit.
Can anyone confirm that??

their website is www.delonghimajorappliances.com

If you get the electric Delonghi wall ovens then no they do not require holding the knob in but the gas oven will require the knob be held in about 3 to 5 seconds. If you have to hold it in over that there is something wrong. Also the delonghi's give a pro style look unlike the other 24" ovens.

I know the electric part, but the thermocouple on the range requires much more than 3-5 seconds, most report 12-13 occasionally more

I must have had an unusual experiances with the one's that I seen that are live. Speaking of the surface burners only I have not had to hold the knob in for more than 5 seconds for the burner to stay lit as long as I have tried to light it on the high setting. If try to light emediately on low it will take quite a while in my experiance with 3 different ranges. 2 in natural gas and 1 in propane

its possible probably varies by area, because its all dependant on the thermocouple reaching the right temperature to keep the valve open
