We found this oven s performance to be very disappointing. The manufacturer s description leads the buyer to believe it's an innovative cooking tool for the sophisticated chef. but in fact it lacks even the most basic oven features. The 25-year old GE oven I replaced was far more hi-tech and precise.
First, the LED display has nothing to do with oven function - it s merely a clock/timer and does not display any real time oven information, including function or temperature.
Making it worse, the two analog knobs that control function and temperature are set so high that if you install the unit at chest height, you ll have to be at least 5 9 to see your settings.
And there s no pre-heat function - no signal alerts you when the oven has reached the desired temperature.
Inexplicably, the interior light doesn t go on when you open the door - you have to manually switch it on, which is a huge inconvenience when you re handling baking dishes.
High tech? The cleaning feature consists of your putting a pan of vinegar in the oven, heating it to 500 for an hour, then wiping away the sludge. Even the manual tells you how messy this is and to wear rubber gloves. Why not just use Easy-off?
And to top it off, the manufacturer charges a hefty 30% re-stocking fee to return it. That s over $400!
My advice: Steer clear - there are much better choices on the market at this price point.
