Product Description
Gemini ® Electric Double Oven Range with EvenAir True Convection
Whether you're cooking snacks or multiple courses for a special gathering, this double oven uses the industry's largest available capacity at 6.7 cu. ft. to cook several items at the same time. Perfect the rest of the meal using the Power Center cooktop with a 3,200-watt Speed Heat and a 12"/9"/6" Triple-Choice elements that handle almost any size pan. Keep the process efficient with EvenAir True convection in the lower oven that roasts up to 30% faster than a thermal oven and Power Preheat which preheats the upper oven 40% faster than a conventional 5.3 cu. ft. conventional oven. And to keep traditions going for years to come, a 10-year limited parts warranty on the elements and ceramic-glass cooktop comes standard.

First, let me say I loved the idea of getting the functionality of a double oven without having to remodel my kitchen. It was offered in Stainless & the price was decent compared to similar models at the time.
I had it for 18 months until it died last week & am now waiting for a repairman to get a quote. The clock & timer still work but the oven & stovetop do not. My husband's online research indicates this is due to a faulty Control Panel, which according to the Internet, will be a couple hundred dollar fix, plus labor. Online research indicates replacement of Control Panels are NOT covered under extended warranties. Please confirm this if you are considering this range. If you still want to give it a try, maybe consider an extended warranty anyway? Who knows what else can go wrong.
Until now I ended up using the smaller top oven the most, as well as the burners. I'd only use the bottom larger oven if necessary, partly because the fan is extremely noisy and constantly cycles on and off, even when NOT using the convection setting.
Everything worked pretty well, although I did notice I'd have to always bake frozen items like chicken nuggets & fries for ~15 min longer than the directions indicated. Two days before Thanksgiving I baked a pumpkin cheesecake. I preheated the oven to 350 & instead of being done in an hour it took 1.5 hours. After removing the cheesecake I increased the temp to 425 for dinner. The display indicated it was warming up & the current temp was 295 degrees!! No wonder the cheesecake took so long...
Thankfully (??) the range died the day AFTER Thanksgiving. That's about the only bright spot in this story.
We've moved around a lot & had many different smooth top ranges with never any problem. I would not buy this make/model again. The aggravation of trying to feed a family without a stove or oven is challenging. Not to mention I had my first repairman call a at 4:30 today (for "arrival between 1-5pm") to say he can't come & the next opening is 8 days away... THEN the part is ordered. I'm calling other repairmen. Not fun.
