Gas oven eats both electricity and gas inefficient
on December 14, 2024
Posted by: ESH101
We got this with a cabin we purchased (the oven was a year old at the time). We’re off grid but have a great solar system so electricity is usually not an issue…unless you use this gas oven. I know, doesn’t make sense. Took us awhile to figure out the gas oven was the reason we were low on power. The oven uses a steady 400 watts of power anytime the oven is heating! That’s more power than everything else in the house combined (other than shop power tools like the table saw). That’s CRAZY. Using power to light the oven makes sense, but it shouldn’t need power to stay lit. Our other gas appliances (wall heater, hot water, etc) all use power to light but then the power turns off and they use a thermocouple for safety in case the flame goes out. Having the igniter run constantly is just bad design.
If this oven worked better (IE heating to temperature and evenly), and the stovetop had any setting other than boil (even set below Lo on the dial will boil water) then this might be acceptable…at least for on-grid houses… but this thing eats both electricity and gas, so the low price isn’t worth it. You’ll eat up any savings in utility usage.
On top of that the 15 seconds it takes to light the oven means we get a good dose of gas fumes every time we light the oven. Oh, and as others said, the clock lasted a year.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
