Why not just get an instant pot to make your yogurt? But all joking aside, post your floorplan, and you'll get plenty of advice on how to fit in a single wall oven if it that concerning to you.

I think this decision is not at all about what you said in your OP. This decision of range vs rangetop is dependent on your layout, size of your kitchen, whether you are OK with using the space for the wall ovens. You didn’t mention what size range you are talking about. I think a good setup is a 36” rangetop and two 30” wall ovens. You also get the advantages of not having to bend deeply like for a range, and having 2 ovens is really handy and flexible. But you would need to allow for a 36-42” hood, and the space for the wall ovens.

Well FYI an all gas range will probably last longer than you do there is little to go wrong with a gas range. I got a deal on a 40 yr old commrcial range and have been using it in my outdoor kitchen for years not one issue. That is the reason they are in commrcial kitchens they have few repair issues. The home ones have electronic ignitions that can over time need replaceemnt but other than that pretty carefree. If you have a smaller kitchen a range makes more sense than wall ovens and a cooktop. I love gas ovens for baking especially bread and pizza. I would advise you to get a yougurt maker they are awesome.

With limited kitchen space, and concerns about gas ovens and replacement cost, perhaps the solution is to purchase a less-expensive dual-fuel range of which there are many available:

• Appliances Connection
• Home Depot

Thanks for your feedback. I already have a double wall oven. Only one gets used, the second is a storage unit :-) I do like the convenience of not having to bend for the oven though. However, in the remodel, I plan to use that space to put a 48" fridge.

Glad to read that gas ranges do last long. That helps. Thank you!
