Good performance but features leave oven lacking

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this oven for two days- have already decided to return it to best buy and try a different model.
LIKES:
- It looks great, beautiful oven with solid handles and nice modern display
- It looks great, beautiful oven with solid handles and nice modern display
- Visibility of current oven temperature while cooking
- Broiler in upper oven is powerful
- Convection performance is solid; baked two sheets of cookies in lower oven and results are very consistent
DISLIKES:
- When using the 'regular' timer, the area for the clock is replaced by a timer so you can no longer see a time
- When using the 'regular' timer, the area for the clock is replaced by a timer so you can no longer see a time
- When using the easy convect / bake / etc mode, you set the temp, and then the time. This time will show in a different area than the 'regular' timer. Unfortunately there is no way to just let the oven preheat via this method before setting your time.
- When the easy convect / bake / etc mode timer finishes the oven simply turns off. This makes it awkward to add additional time (have to start from step 1) and you lose track of whether the item is finished if you did not hear the two beeps.
- This oven features some sort of electronic switch to allow gas to the ranges and burners; unfortunately some noise (a light buzz) from this switch is very audible in a quiet room. You can hear the switch pop on and off when switching between 'lock' mode and regular. Another downside here- it is likely this oven is dead in the water during a power outage.
- Lock mode takes too long to engage / disengage. I understand the need for it with the burners out front but a 4 digit PIN on the keypad would be much faster.
- In upper oven, when using the shelf setting suggested in the manual, the rack when extended bumps / rests on the door. Poor design / fitment.
- Some of the controls and actions on the control panel are just weird and not straightforward.
All in all, a good performing oven, but not a good oven.
If these shortcomings don't bother you this oven will definitely cook food evenly and consistently while looking sharp in your kitchen. The constant hum of the electric valve is too annoying for my wife and myself after our previous inexpensive oven making zero noise.
