Product review (4 stars): A 5 star item - but is any oven worth $3K?
I need to say I didn't buy this thru Amazon.

We initially bought this in Jan. of 2012.  The main attraction was the fact the oven racks are on ball-bearings and slide out with the tug of one finger.  Like all modern appliances, you have to be computer savvy to get the most out of this appliance.  There are dozens of possible touch screen settings for operating the microwave as well as the oven.  It replaced a 23 y.o. Thermador, which was definitely outdated.  (It also had a matching microwave but was a separate physical unit.)
  The easy slide racks are obviously not worth the extra $1K of the price of similar units.  The excellent build quality makes it look, physically, better than most other units out there.  This is a top of the line product.  This was the only oven we saw with easy-slide racks.  It would seem to me any mfr. could add this as an option for a couple hundred dollars.
  After we had it for 9 months we had an accident and needed to run the self-cleaning function for the first time.  It turned out there was probably something wrong w. the circuit board that wouldn't let us "turn on" the self cleaning function.  The in home repair was covered by the warranty.  When fixed, oven was thoroughly cleaned when self-cleaning was run.
  Just cooked a holiday turkey using what is called "Perfect Turkey" function.  It makes use of a probe and knows when to shut down the oven.  Worked perfectly.
  Microwave is not as high rated in watts as some others, but close.  I would have thought an expensive unit would have the highest watt rating.  The variety of controls is outstanding.
  Conclusion - If you have a top grade kitchen or want a top notch appliance - put this on your "look at" list.  This kitchen was in a condo with no gas service - so kitchen appliances have to be electric.  Our cook top is a top of the line induction - which technology is somewhat new in the U.S.  (It has been used for several years in Europe.)
