Product review (5 stars): Quiet, Solid, Easy-To-Use Oven
When my Jenn Air convection wall oven finally died, I began the search for a replacement. After having 3 touchpads fail in the time I owned it, I was not looking for another Jenn Air. I had already replaced my Jenn Air ceramic cook top with a Kenmore one, which has been excellent, and my Jenn Air microwave with a GE Profile model, which is the best such device I have ever used. However, since Consumer Reports rated the Whirlpool oven the best, I looked at it first. Two things drove me away: the noise issue and the slow preheat reported by many. Since there is often a big difference in the reviews by magazines and those by people who actually live with the product, I place more value on the latter, at least when they are thoughtfully given. Noise is a big issue for my wife, and whether it was a quality control issue (some being quiet enough, others noisy), or just some owners being more sensitive to noise than others, it seemed like a bad risk either way for us. We are sensitive to noise, and I don't care to play games of chance with such an expensive item. So we reluctantly gravitated to the more expensive GE, which at least would match the GE Microwave which sits above the oven. Also I hoped that the extra cost was for better quality components (like fans) and a robust build quality.
So far I am impressed. The new wall ovens have concealed bottom elements, which makes keeping them clean with a simple wiping down with dish detergent or vinegar a very easy task. This almost certainly means a slightly longer preheat time, however. Nevertheless, where my Jenn Air took around 10 minutes to reach 350 degrees, the GE took less than 13 minutes. Not a bad trade off in my opinion. The temperature actually reached was 352 on my Fluke thermocouple. This oven automatically adjusts the temperature when using convection, and does so differently when you choose single rack baking or multi rack. My Fluke showed temperature control to be excellent.  It is also very quiet in my experience. Off course, when turned off the fan will continue to run for quite a while. As with my old Jenn Air, I simply leave door open until it cools off to speed up the process. But in this case not because of excess noise, but because I am just fussy about using more power than I need to.
Being a bread maker, a feature of the old Jenn Air I really liked was the ability to set the temperature as low as 100 degrees. This was great for proofing bread and making yogurt. Most ovens don't allow you to set a temp below 170 degrees  a bad idea in my opinion. This oven, however, has a proof setting which gets around this. Also leaving the oven light on in an oven once it is around 100 degrees will usually keep it just right for making yogurt or rising dough.
So far this oven meets my expectations. I installed it myself, so I can confirm that it feels solid and well made. It is quiet and the controls are easy to use. Time alone will tell how durable and reliable it proves to be. But I will continue to update this review, as it can be very difficult trying to decide among such expensive items with so little shared information available.
