A simple good wall oven?

11 years ago

I was all set on getting a bosch single wall oven but the more I thought about the more I realized that for me, my oven is my least used item in my kitchen.

I do a lot of cooking on the cooktop and plan on getting a good quality induction cooktop, but my oven gets used for heating up baked potatoes, the occasional (2x a month) roasting and/or baking of chicken or fish, the twice a year brisket and baking a couple of times a month. As we will finally have a bbq, I expect we'll be doing a lot more cooking outside too, so the oven will probably get even less use.

I definitely want a wall oven as I don't want to be bending over all the time, (We are getting older) but I definitely don't need all the bells and whistles. I don't care if my cookies bake in 10 minutes or in 5 minutes. Are there any good quality basic wall ovens out there? It's for a new build and we do have gas if we want.

Don't know your budget, but I, too, have about decided that I don't want the bells and whistles. I am leaning toward purchasing the Miele Electric and Convection Model 6180. Very simple and definitely vanilla. Can anyone opine? Thanks

Bosch makes a base model. HBL5351UC. No convection, basically bake or broil, on or off.

Otherwise if price is a factor the new Frigidaire units seem to be working well. FFEW3025PS

Lexi, that's still got bells and whistles such as convection. Plus, if I was going to spend a big amount of money, I would go with the new Bosch with the side opening door.

That Bosch works Joe!

I think GE has the best oven. I work for Warehouse Discount Center and we sell lots of GE Advantium ovens. You can read more about them at: http://www.wdcappliances.com/wdclifestyles/speedcooking-with-ge-advantium/

I need a full size oven not a small speed oven. I am looking for one basic oven and GE at this point would probably be one of my last choices as I've heard over and over, not only here on Houzz but with friends, that their customer service is one of the worst. :)
