Default URGENT - advantages of a dual fuel cooker (?)

I can think of one advantage for having an electric oven(s) and a gas top
vs. gas/gas and that is when the gas burns off one of the byproducts is
moisture which is released into the oven, raising the humidity. However I
don't know if this effects baking etc. I have a gas/gas range and have no
complaints.
As to dual-fuel - If your kitchen isn't wired for 208/220VAC your may need
to spend some serious $ getting power to the range. Most ranges have 120vac
power for operating the controls, clock, self-clean etc. This is not enough
for a electric oven.
There are freestanding gas ranges available with gas/convection ovens that
don't require 220vac for power, this may be an option for you to consider.

Good luck in your quest,

Erik

om...
I need a new cooker (freestanding - 60 cm.) and am attracted by the
dual fuel, mainly because I can see that it offers a defrosting prog.
and also because someone has told me that warming up and cooking are
faster than a gas appliance.
I would be very grateful for anyone's suggestion. Please note that: my
kitchen is very small and I can't have any other appliances but a
cooker/ Often I come home late and need to cook something fast.
as my present gas cooker is very old and I can't tell whether I would
be better off with a fan assisted oven.

Many thanks in advance.
