By and large electric ovens are superior to gas (more even heating, much easier to clean) and convection ovens are preferable to conventional (cook more rapidly and evenly). There are a few exceptions. But the foregoing applies for just about all general purpose, home use. Joel

How about a Thermador CMT120 electric oven?  It's a convection, microwave, thermal self-cleaning oven all in one (that's what the CMT stands for).   It's big bucks (about $2200 in stainless steel) but I had an older version Thermador microwave/thermal double oven for 8 years and loved it.  If you've got enough height, you can go with the CMT220, which is the double oven version.

I am very pleased with my electric KitchenAid thermal/convection oven.  I already have a microwave built in to a wall niche above my wall oven, so don't really need another one.  Indeed, I had a thermal/convection/microwave oven several years ago and didn't care for its performance; however, you might like it depending on what kind of cooking/baking you do. Anyway, I am not certain about what sizes are available for the KitchenAid wall oven. Mine is the standard width (27 I think).  Due to the type and quantity of baking I do (I bake all our own breads and pastries, and lots of meals, and I like to put LOTS of stuff in the oven at the same time
