I purchased this 800 series after almost a year wait. The wait was worth the effort. This oven has so far (a few months) be that good. It is the quietest thing I have ever experienced. Just using the normal get to temp setting is still very fast. It gets to 450 quickly. The controls are simple though anything new takes some getting used to. The door is a soft close. Just push it gently and forget it. As i would expect it holds a steady temp and you can tell when you open the door no heat is escaping. The bottom rack is set as a sliding rack. I have not used it much but its a benefit. If you are considering this series I can recommend it highly.
