IMO you go to AJ Madison to do comparisons and honestly I tell my clients to narrow the search to the budget and to 3 or you just make your self nuts . mY only experience with steam ovens was in commercial kitchens and so often thye were broken down and we ended up going old school for the job. I run a catering biz from my home and have no ntention of having a team oven . My suggestion always to my clients is how do you plan to use the fancy appliance that takes up valuable space in a kitchen. So sit down and really think about how you cook before spending money for something you never missed .

Patricia is always dissing high end appliances she has no experience with, like SubZero fridges. Or, that she feels are over the top expensive without there being a need, like 48” ranges, and in this case, CSOs. Telling you that her only experience with CSOs was many years ago in commercial kitchens.(and they were always broken), is not helpful. Nor is repeating for the gazillionth time, that she runs a catering biz from her home, doesn’t have one, or see the need.

We have a Miele CSO, now almost 8yo, and love it. Makes incredible veggies, fish, chicken…, well, just about everything.

Your list seems pretty complete to me. Perhaps someone will answer your question, with an addition to the list. Did you google ”Companies that make CSOs”, of something along those lines?

The thing to inquire about, is whether a particular brand offers both unplumbed AND plumbed versions. Plumbed are a bit more convenient, as you won’t have to refill the water canister, and dump the canister after each time using the appliance.

Good luck!

Here’s what i came up with, through googling. CombiSteam ovens

I have done 2 new kitchens and used the Miele CSO XXL (plumbed) twice. Very happy with it. Lots of reviews of the Miele CSO, if you search old posts on the kitchen forum.

Dacor and Samsung.

If you haven't used a Combi-Steam oven, I suggest you go to the high-end showrooms (if there are some in your area) and test out in person. I went to demos by Wolf and Dacor. I passed in favor of a combi-microwave, but I'm not much of a cook. I am buying Gaggenau for everything except the dishwasher, which will be Miele (knock twice to open--how cool is that?).

I wouldn’t touch either with a ten foot pole. Dacor is owned by Samsung. Samsung is notorious for poor quality, and awful customer service.

If you’re loking for an appliance with high end functions, get it from a company that produces reliable, high end products…and offers good customer service.

I never tell anyone to not buy a high end applainace but I also do not think many are worth the money BTW I work in commercial kitchens often up to date not years ago. I design kitchens for people who cook but they do not need the SZ fridge to get good value in a fridge and IMO it needs to be said to buy for how you cook not to look good to impress someone .I work in many different kitchens not just my own and in none of those are there 48" ranges and those kitchens have the venting needed .
