Just installed yesterday. Looks great and everything seems to work good. Had some trouble getting it hooked up to Wifi. That was likely user error. My kitchen originally had an 27 inch but we upgraded to the 30. Excited to try all the features out. Very happy with my purchase!
Just installed and used a couple of times. Easy to use digital panel, quiet operation, fantastic interior lighting and low level chimes on mode operation and timer. Looking forward to many years of reliable baking. Replaced a 30+ year GE 30" wall oven.
The oven works well. Temperature seems accurate and things bake evenly. But...
Normal preheating is okay, but kind of slow. I do like that it shows the temperature as it's rising.
I was anxious to try the "No Preheat Air Fry", but the oven was clearly not hot enough until it preheated for a while. But since it's "no preheat", when you turn it on to airfry, it doesn't tell you the current temperature in the oven. So you just have to wait awhile before putting the food in, or put the food in for longer than the package indicates.
Waking up the control panel requires touching where an actual button is, which of course you can’t see. So it sometimes takes multiple touches to get it to wake up. Then, if you’ve touched in on the left, whatever control you’ve BLINDLY touched is ACTIVATED. How stupid is that?
The timer controls are awkward. There's a "cancel" button and an "off" button. When I want to turn off the timer, I find that I hit "off" instead of "cancel" . This turns off the oven. NOT WHAT I MEANT TO DO. Hopefully I'll get used to it. Also, the timer chimes when there's one minute left. I find that annoying because I think the timer is done, but I have to wait another minute. The timer is not very loud either. It's okay if I'm close by, but I don't think I could hear it from another room. And that's at it's loudest setting.
What really annoys me is that the oven timer sends a message to my phone. That might be okay if it was accurate, but wifi being what it is, it might be a minute or more after the real timer goes off. I'd really like to be able to disable this "feature"!
I tried using the probe for roasting meat. One, it was not even close to accurate. Two, the cable is way too short. If the probe is in meat and you try to pull the oven rack out, the probe cable won't let it slide out. So you have to unplug it before you can even pull out the oven rack.
Finally, having to print the manual myself is just annoying and cheap.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought 2 of these wall ovens. I ran a clean cycle and it’s now completely wrecked. Service repair person thinks all the wires are fried and the motor is shot. 2 years old used a few dozen times at best.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
