Product review (5 stars): Excellent, quality oven
I recently bought this oven to replace a professional Jenn-Air dual fuel convection oven. What a fantastic purchase! I did a lot of research in stores and through Consumer Reports to find a quality, well-made oven. Although this model is not marketed as "professional" or "commercial", the quality is every bit as good as ones sold for over $2000; it's even way better made than the professional unit I was replacing. Everything about it seems sturdy & well-made; knobs, oven racks, opening/closing the oven doors, cast iron grates, display panel, inside oven finish - nothing seems cheap. The gas top is very temperature specific - I can tweak it to perfectly suit whatever I am cooking. The power burner boils very large stockpots of water within minutes; my old stove took 20 minutes to boil what this stove can do in 10 minutes. Having two ovens is a convenience that I never thought I 'd care about, but I really like it. I use the top oven for most things; I use the bottom convection oven for baked goods - cakes/muffins - and roasters. I keep an oven thermometer inside to gauge if the baking temperature is accurate. It's generally always accurate for the bottom oven. It often fluctuates within 25 degrees, plus or minus, in the top oven. The stovetop burners light quickly without a lot of residual gas escape; the stovetop & oven are very easy to keep clean.

If I manufactured this oven, there are two things I might reconsider, although neither one is a deal-breaker. The preheat beeper tells you that the oven has reached its preheated temperature way before it actually does. The instruction manual tells you that it takes 20 minutes to be fully preheated to set temperature; however the beeper goes off in 7-10 minutes. When the beeper goes off, I check my oven thermometer and it's usually 100 - 150 degrees lower than it should be. But it does reach the set temperature in 20 minutes, so I know to just wait a little bit before putting my food in.

Another design drawback is that the cast iron grates on the stove top do not have rubber pads on the bottom to keep from scratching or chipping the finish. There are 3 grates and they interlock, which means you always have to take the middle one off first to take the other two off. They are heavy & awkwardly-weighted, so its easy to bang them around a little if you're not very careful. I've been lucky so far, but I'm just waiting for a chip or scratch one of these days.

If you are installing this oven yourself, get some help. My husband is young and strong, but this oven was over 300 pounds - it took a lot of ingenuity & people to get it in the kitchen from the garage. All in all, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. :)
