I had been hunting for a quality countertop convection oven for quite some time when I found a posting on the Cadco line and may have solved all my appliance needs.

Could that post have been one of mine? ;-) I think it's safe to say that I am one of the biggest cheerleaders for Cadco ovens! (And no, I have no affiliation with the company.)

I've had my OV-250 for about 18 months now, and have zero regrets. It's the perfect size for a home kitchen (not much bigger than a large-capacity microwave), heats up quickly and evenly, turns out great food, and so on. Maybe you've even seen one of my {{gwi:1414139}} -- that's a loaf of no-knead bread in the pot, but I should post some pics of the finished product...

Regarding your situation, you should note that the top element in the OV-350 is not for broiling, but for "top browning." You can't turn the convection fan off, so you wouldn't really be broiling. But your buns will be toasty brown!

As you may have already figured out, Cadco is pretty much a commercial distributor of products from other manufacturers. For example, the ovens are made by Unox of Italy. The induction units are made in Germany, and the bagel toaster is made by Dualit. I'd like to think that they only distribute the cream of the crop, but I haven't done any additional research on those products. You should do your own research to make sure you're getting the best in its field.

Regarding warranty issues, give them a call.

Yes, I believe it was your post. Thanks for placing it.

I spoke with a rep from Cadco today. Both the induction and glass ceramic portable burner are made by a German company called Rommelsbacher. Does anyone know more about the quality of products from this manufacturer?

Moffat also makes a true commercial oven that runs of 117 VAC and fits on a countertop.
