My oven is 7. It has many things I love but the top are:

Autoroast: Lets me roast starting in a cold oven without adding cooking time.

Probe: Set done temp for any large cut and it gives you a 20 min warning before the end of the program and cooks it perfectly.

Rotisserie: The best chicken ever -- as many as 4 at a time.

Fast recovery. I make pizzas and bread with an oven stone. The oven returns to high temp very quickly for a second pizza or loaf.

Multi Rack cooking. I can put a pan of potatoes to roast on one rack and add something to another later on.

Drip pan. A full size pan slides in below any rack and catches everything. So Convection roasting doesnt require a pan. Chicken or a roast and even a whole branzino goes directly on the rack.

Delay start. I put something in the oven, press start time, then cooking time and OK. Oven beeps when its done and turns itself off.

Combi heat settings. Some oven settings use the broiler and bottom element at the same time. Good for things that need top browning to be special as they cook.

Great for heavy or delicate cakes.

They market it for Masterchef settings which I never use and ignore all the useful features. There are more. But you get the idea.

No direct feedback, but 3 friends that have them and love them. I am also looking at the induction cooktop, but want a Gaggenau oven.

rococogurl. That sounds like you are talking about the convection steam. Oven. I guess i should have indicated induction cooktop and electric convection oven.

Rococogurl is referring to the Regular Oven. The combi setting is not steam but the ability to combine different elements like the broiler and the bottom element for Pizza for instance. I have a Miele 30" induction cooktop and should be installed in a few days. I also have a Miele gas Wok burner.

Good luck!

I have a 30" wall oven. I amended to say "combi heat settings". Not to be confused with the new range convection oven with steam or the combi oven which is a different unit I do not have, at least not until my main micro dies.

In our last two homes, over the past 14 years, we have had Miele Full size and SpeedOvens. LOVE them. Delay Start is one of my favs. Relatively fast preheat times, incredibly intuitive controls, even heat and very versatile!!

Lexi65,

It was finally installed on Thursday. I have not cooked on it yet as I am out of the area for a few days. I can give you more feedback next week. I know it was used it to heat some water and everyone commented on how fast it was! The plumber is coming next week to put in the gas line redo for the gas burner.

More to come soon!

Hi Lexi,

I can start. I have not been home much since it was installed. It is a great unit! The speed is unbelievable. I turn around and water is boiling for pasta. The weather has been pretty hot here lately and it is wonderful to cook without additional heat.

What would you like to know?

I made risotto the other day and it was wonderful to use. I used like a setting of 2 or something like that. As much as I like the power, you have to be ready to cook something to turn it up to a 9. That is the burn mode on food. I am going to purchase a flat bottom work to try it out. My woks are currently round bottom. Being able to instantly turn off the power is also great! That stops the cooking in most vessels almost instantly. I don't notice any buzzing at this time. I am using Le Creuset, Demeyere and All Clad D5 cooking vessels. I have not made Chicken stock with the pressure cooker yet but will probably do something over the weekend.
