I have not used this oven a whole lot since moving in the house, I use the advantium oven more, but it is a great size, has a lot of features, and looks great in my kitchen. I need to read how to use the airfry option and connect it to the internet to use the options fully. I did have a problem getting the rolling rack in, and there was an area on the side of the wall that had scratches. Hope they will not cause a problem in the future.
I originally wanted a wall over, just a wall oven. This oven is so much more. It bakes and broils of course but it also can air fry, proof bread dough and has a convection oven built in. There is a setting for “warm” so you can keep food warm for up to 3 hours. The touch screen is easy to navigate.
I bought this in February so since February 27 I had no oven for two months I had to get an electrician to move the electric junction and cut bottom 24 inches from the back of my cabinet. Plus it was back ordered and delivery date changed 3 times. 2 months with no oven during quarantine and Easter were unbearable time period in my household. But I like the remote start via the cafe app feature. Additionally, the air fryer is lovely. I changed my entire kitchen appliances to Cafe as they were mismatch. So despite delay/back order and 3 visit from electrician and cabinet guy, I am just happy to have all functioning appliances.
You'll have your initial burn off you will want to make, so do so before your first use! The oven seems a bit small on the inside (smaller than a standard oven/stove setup). I do not know how cooking a turkey along side other items in the oven will go, as I picture a turkey may need to be on the lowest rake possible. But we will see! The oven comes with Wifi capability, which I imagine to be nice to use to preheat the oven and check cooking time. We cannot get the app to work though and have not be able to use this option yet.
I have owned this oven for about a month and are still exploring its many features. I love how it looks, paired with the matching microwave! It feels substantial and well made. I love the touch display and wifi capabilities. The reason I knocked off a star is because the Air Fryer doesn't seem to work as well as my table top air fryer. However, I am hopeful that I will figure out it's nuances. The proofing function works, but it took extremely long for my bread dough to rise. The oven seems to bake cookies well and I look forward using it more!
