Product review (2 stars): Deceptively SMALL Interior Dimensions
We just got this oven in black today and loved the look but were shocked to learn Frigidaire grossly misrepresented the actual interior size of this oven. They don't show these specs on Amazon, but AJMadison's website provided them, and we were counting on this oven being much closer to its reported interior size.

Our current old 24" gas wall oven is MUCH larger! Our old oven's racks are 17" x 19" deep as compared to this oven's racks being just 15" deep. That amounts to 4" less usable depth than our current oven of supposedly the same size has; and yet, it was advertised as having a depth of 18.5". However, my 17" cookie sheet does not fit.

We can't figure out how Frigidaire can get away with advertising 18.5" of interior depth - or 16" of height. They obviously ignore more than just the large broiler unit permanently installed. It seems they also ignore whatever comprises the walls of this oven, too! That is deceptive advertising. By this initial review, I just want to clarify these measurements for other buyers so they will know what they are getting BEFORE they buy it online like we did. Later, after we use it a while, I will add comments about performance.

Interior specs are important to know if you have other options than just replacing an existing wall oven of a certain size. Since our existing wall oven still works well, we did not need to replace it. We just thought it would help us sell our home more quickly if we had an attractive new, self-cleaning oven in its place. We had updated everything else in our country kitchen a couple years ago, but left this because it still worked so well and it was kind of quaint. If we had known we would be losing so much interior oven space by spending almost $1,600 for this one (with installation), we would have never ordered it.

Our 24" gas wall oven's usable depth is 20" - with an actual interior height of 14" throughout since it's broiler is in a drawer below. The width is about the same, 17". We thought we would be losing a little in depth but would gain some in usable height, based on the specs stated online. After all, this new oven is supposed to have 2.9 cu. ft. of space, which sounds large. In reality, however, it is not. It is the size of a large microwave, but with less usable height inside.

Frigidaire claims that the interior oven measures 18.5" deep x 17" wide x 16" tall. However, it's depth with door closed is only about 17" and it is only 13" tall at the highest point - which is nowhere near 16". In the rear third of the oven, there is less than 12" of height due to a self-cleaning gas component. If we had known this, we would have opted for a manual-cleaning unit, gotten more usable height, and save hundreds of dollars.

We think these specs provided are purposefully misleading. They make this oven seem larger and more useful than it really is. The broiler measures 2" high in the center x 10" wide and extends the entire depth of the oven - and is not removable. So, why else would Frigidaire not see fit to take it into account when giving an interior height? And the shallow depth! That just killed me to see because it is so much shallower than our old oven.

When it arrived, I was shocked. So, I measured it and called AJMadison immediately to complain and arrange to return it. However, they wanted to check with Frigidaire. When Frigidaire said (not surprisingly) that its measurements were not misleading, we were told we would have to pay 30% restocking fee if we sent it back - plus shipping. The restocking fee alone would be more than $300, so we are keeping the darn thing. This was a very expensive lesson for us.

I am a "detail person" and an experienced buyer, but I never imagined I could not trust the actual interior specs of an oven. I thought it would be black and white, but apparently, manufacturers will do everything they can to make its product seem bigger or better than it actually is - and Frigidaire did mislead us. With a depth of 18.5", I had good reason to believe I would be able to continue using my 11 x 17" cookie sheets, but I can't in this oven. Plus, with that upper broiler taking up so much of the height - in addition to losing another 3" of space underneath the lowest rack - one cannot bake anything more than 9.5" high. This oven is just too small to be worth the money.

In the future, I will never assume the specs of an appliance are real. If a spec is really important to me, I will always either measure it myself or call the manufacturer and get them to EMAIL ME the ACTUAL measurement - so I will have it in writing before I order it.

This oven looks nice enough, but it is really too small to serve as an only oven. At this price point and with the high cost of installing a gas appliance, one would be better off planning to put in a 30" range instead of replacing an older gas wall oven. The newer ones seem very inferior. Our really old Real Host oven still works well, but it no longer looks so good. Other reviews I have read on this oven on other websites say its oven temp needs to be recalibrated, so be sure to have that checked out when installing it if you happen to buy it.

Also, it does not even come with a broiler pan, and the lower storage drawer that used to be a broiler is still only big enough when opened to hold a 14"-wide broiler pan! Frigidaire never reconfigured the inside of this drawer for storage. It is still just 14" wide at the top and only 13" wide at the bottom, as if it was meant to hold a broiler pan. So, I am keeping our old one. Nothing else will fit into it, even though it looks like a 24" wide storage drawer. That, to me, shows how very little Frigidaire cares about serving the needs of those who buy this wall oven.
