I just received my oven. The units looks nice and seems well-built. While a large turkey might not fit, the size is actually perfect for most daily baking and cooking. To my surprise, it comes with a built-in rotisserie (I still need to see if the motor has enough torque to turn a full size chicken). I like to emphasize that this is the only gas oven (that I could find) that can be mounted under the countertop (standard 34.5” clearance height counters).
The power cord comes out at the bottom rear center whereas the gas connection is at the upper right rear. The user guide states to use ridge pipes, but the unit comes with an adaptor screwed onto the gas pipe that’s for soft PEX-type pipes – a bit confusing. Customer support indicated to remove the adaptor and use typical stainless steel range connectors from Home Depot.
Shipping was fast direct from vender and the vender has been very responsive to my question via email. The user guide is poorly written, but sufficient. The small front knobs provide great aesthetics, but could be improved to provide better grip.
My first impression upon unboxing is that this is a well-designed and well-built unit at a good price. The real questions are with performances. I’m not looking for fancy features; rather, I want a simple, functional, and mostly reliable oven.
Update: After using the oven for three holiday gatherings, I’m very satisfied with its performance. Installation was extremely simply. I left a 24-in gap between the counter cabinets and as suggested by the manual, I secured two pieces of 2x4 to the foot of the cabinet to support the oven. The oven has to be manually ignited by pressing down the temp-setting knob and release once the unit senses flame (this requires a few seconds to heat up the internal sensor). You can have the top broiler burner or the bottom burner on, but not both simultaneously. Once the burn is on, you set the desired temperature, Min, 320 - 430, Max (temp setting only for bottom burner). Once the approx. temp is reached, the burner would lower itself to maintain the set temperature. Because the oven cannot autonomously ignite the burner, it keeps the burner on a minimal flame. As a result of this, the oven would not totally shut off the burner and therefore the oven does not appear to be able run at temperature lower than 320 degrees. Depending on what is being baked or the size of it, the lowest temperature ranges from 300 – 350 deg. The only limitation with this oven is for low temperature roasting at temps below 300 deg. I have gotten the oven up to 470 deg fairly quickly to sear a rib roast. There are two more knobs on the unit. The middle turns on light and activates the rotisserie. The left knob is a timer, which only give an audible alarm and does not shut down the burners. So far, the oven has proven to be very usable for everyday use such as warming, baking, broiling, etc.
