Product review (5 stars): Crazy!
I am crazy happy with my Miele MC SO! I have been using it for 5 years and have not had any problems. Yes! It was ridiculously expensive! I paid $3,400. I had wanted the Dacor oven with no exposed cooking elements. I looked at it for two years, but did not like Dacor's microwave, which was nothing more than a Sharp Convection microwave. Then, one day, on another visit to our local Kustom Kitchen's the co-owner introduced me to the Miele MC SO. Oh my! I was struck! I could instantly see I would have two ovens (in my small kitchen) and be able to handle holidays with two ovens available for whatever I needed to cook, bake, roast, or keep warm. And it has not disappointed--ever! My only disappointment is in Miele. They have not provided the necessary DVD or decent manual to introduce users on how to best use and get maximum benefits from this oven. Their manual is way less than adequate. I am still hoping they will correct this. I have yet to learn when to use the Surround or Convection Bake. There are so many multiple cooking options. I also bought the 30" Miele oven. Beautiful! But more than that, they work great! My daughter recently bought the GE Monogram Speed oven and 30" oven ans 6 burner gas cook-range. Hers is great too, BUT, the Miele SO is better. I like that I can choose the exact oven temperatures and variables, rather than everything preset as on the GE Speed Oven. Would I buy it again? You bet! Warning: do not spill liquids in that glass door 1/16" opening along the top, or you're in trouble. I dumped the coffee cup twice. You can not remove that glass without a special tool. However, I finally was able to maneuver a moistened paper towel--over and over and was able to remove most of the stain to 96% satisfaction.
