Choosing commercial cooking equipment starts with a basic production question: do you need a compact station for fried food, or oven space for baking and roasting? This group spans a dual-tank countertop fryer and three large-format ovens, with listed prices from USD 168.14 to USD 13,950. The right choice depends more on the food you plan to produce and the utility type you use than on treating them as interchangeable appliances.
Quick take
The 22L Electric Deep Fryer Dual Tank Commercial Fryer Restaurant XL w/ 2 Basket is the clear fit for countertop frying and separate fry pots. For a new full-size electric convection oven, the Elite Kitchen Supply COE1 208 centers on a 208V, 10,000-watt configuration. The used Imperial ICVG-2-A brings two full-size natural-gas convection decks, while the used Blodgett 981/981 is the specialized pick for double-deck gas baking with four shallow baking compartments.
The listed-price spread is substantial, so narrow the category first: frying versus oven cooking, then electric versus natural gas, then single- versus double-deck operation.

Product notes
22L Electric Deep Fryer Dual Tank Commercial Fryer Restaurant XL w/ 2 Basket
Choose this fryer when the menu calls for a dedicated countertop deep-frying station rather than oven production. Its two pots support separating foods, and each tank lists a maximum 8L oil capacity. The adjustable temperature range runs from 122°F to 392°F, while the two included baskets measure 7.3 by 8.1 by 3.9 inches. At USD 168.14, it is the lowest-priced item here by a wide listed-price margin. Its limitation is scale and task focus: this is a 22.4 by 20.5 by 14.0-inch countertop deep-fat fryer, not an oven for baking or roasting.
38" NSF Full Size Commercial Restaurant Kitchen Electric Convection Oven 208 V
The Elite Kitchen Supply COE1 208 is the choice for an operator seeking a new, full-size electric convection oven at USD 2,825.00. It lists a 29 by 22.5 by 19.6-inch internal cavity and an overall width of 38 inches, giving it a clearly defined full-size oven format. The 150°F to 500°F temperature-control range suits a broad oven-temperature span. A key limitation is its fixed electrical specification: it is listed for 208V/60Hz and 10,000 watts. That makes it a focused option for an electric kitchen configuration, rather than one of the natural-gas oven choices.
Imperial ICVG-2-A Double Stack Gas Convection Oven \| Commercial Restaurant Oven
For two full-size convection decks in one gas oven setup, the Imperial ICVG-2-A is the direct match. It is listed for natural gas and 120V, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical service, with dimensions of 41.5 by 38 by 74 inches. The double-stack layout is aimed at preparing multiple items across separate oven decks. Its USD 4,995.00 listed price sits between the Elite Kitchen Supply electric oven and the Blodgett double-deck model. The tradeoff is condition: this Imperial is listed as used. It also has an approximate listed weight of 1,005 pounds, making it a notably substantial piece of equipment.
Blodgett 981/981 Commercial Kitchen Restaurant Double Deck Gas Convection Oven
Pick the Blodgett 981/981 when the priority is a double-deck natural-gas oven built around shallow baking compartments. It lists 50,000 BTU per oven, for 100,000 BTU total, plus four 7-inch-high baking compartments across its two decks. Counterbalanced doors and accessible gas, temperature-control, and safety pilot valves are also part of the stated design. This is the highest-listed-price option at USD 13,950.00, so it is most appropriate when its specific deck-baking format is central to the kitchen plan. The other clear limitation is condition: the unit is listed as used, despite being described as in excellent condition.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose the 22L Electric Deep Fryer for countertop fried-food production. Choose the Elite Kitchen Supply COE1 208 for a new electric full-size convection oven with a defined 208V specification. Choose the Imperial ICVG-2-A when two full-size natural-gas convection decks are the main requirement. Choose the Blodgett 981/981 when shallow double-deck baking compartments and its 100,000-BTU natural-gas configuration best match the menu.
