The downside, of course, is that neither individual oven is particularly large. Neither oven is capable of convection, but both can bake, warm, broil, and self-clean.Īn impressive total oven capacity is this oven’s other selling point, with a 2.2 cubic-foot upper oven capacity and a 4.4 cubic-foot lower oven capacity totaling a spacious 6.6 cubic feet. That seems to be the trade-off for the fact that there are two ovens. There aren't any speciality cooking modes or features on the JB850. Digital oven controls are also located on the backsplash. It’s relatively standard in this price range, and requires users to reach across a hot rangetop to adjust the temperature while cooking. The rangetop is controlled by knobs located on the backsplash. These colors are matched in the ceramic glass rangetop, which houses two dual-ring burners, two regular burners, and a central warming zone. The backsplash and some small bits of trim have that nice finish, but the greater portion of the oven doors are finished in less-exciting shades of black and grey. At first glance, the flash of stainless steel reels you in, but there just isn't very much of it. The JB850 certainly isn't fancy, but it's not at all unattractive. If you’re going to spend less than $1,500 on a double oven electric range, it’s best not to expect too much design-wise. Design & Usability Lots of space, but no convection You could always step up to the GE JB870SFSS, a nearly-identical range with convection, but it'll cost you an additional $400. Our only complaints are that it lacks convection, and that the ovens have difficulty with uniform baking.
For under $1,000 retail, you get a range with a great cooktop and two good ovens. The GE JB850SFSS (MSRP $1399) is one of the most affordable double-oven ranges on the market.
