Great Oven!! Horrible Shipping Company!!!
Date: 2009-08-10 | Rating: 5
I LOVE this oven, I've had it before!! Its PERFECT for Breads,muffins,cupcakes, cookies, etc!!!BUT, I DON'T use it for ANY greasy foods....Only because the oil (from the meats,chickens,etc)splatters, and SLOWLY gets stuck on the fan part(convection setting), and after a few months,the fan for the Convection oven setting slowly stops rotating at the speed it should.Its difficult to open up, and clean off the blades to the fan also.So, but as far as the oven goes, its great, for ALL PASTRIES!!! Cooks the breads, etc, evenly, and perfectly everytime!!! Pizza works very well in here too! We make our own 12" pizzas and use this oven ALL the time!! As far as the shipping company goes,"CEVA", IT'S AWFUL,AWFUL,AWFUL.*** Amazon should change the shipping company! They were LATE, after I waited way past my delivery time, they told me they were running late, and i had to wait a few hours more. they are NOT punctual at all, and they do not ring the bell.they leave the item at the front door!! No Good!!!

Terrific Little Oven

This is a wonderful oven BUT this model (the 31199XR) does NOT come with a rotisserie feature as advertised. I notified Amazon of this, but so far they haven't revised their description. Anyway, it does a super job with baking, broiling and convection! My experience with the shipping was a breeze ... they called and arranged for a drop off time, and were both friendly and prompt.

Lovin the Oven

People are so conditioned to seeing a huge traditional oven/stove in the kitchen that we put a white cabinet between our other cabinets to give the "look" of a traditional oven. However, my visitors are receptive to the fact that this is the ONLY baking appliance I own - I don't make Thanksgiving turkey, so what is the point? It sits on the kitchen cart (not sandwiched between cabinets or taking counter space) to heat frozen food, bake cookies and breakfast casserole, crisp garlic bread, roast red pepper - anything your traditional oven does and more. I LOVE, LOVE the convection part! Cooking thoroughly in half the time (really-keep an eye on it at first) and if cookies are left in too long, they don't burn (could get a little dry, but that's my fault)! I opted for the one with two racks for double the cooking - and you can do that with convection; did not find a need for the rotisserie model as I don't cook meat. $100 or thereabouts - worth way more in functionality and space-saving to me.

This is a great oven - but heed the complaints about shipping

I've been wanting a second oven for a long time but have balked at the $2500 - $3000 price (before installation). I thought this might make a great supplement, but it's more than that. Don't confuse this with old-fashioned toaster ovens. We've used it a lot for the typical small re-heating jobs, and it works fine. On Thanksgiving, my wife tried to bake some brown-and-serve rolls - they got a little too brown on the top. Turns out she hadn't turn on the convection feature. So I tried making some cornbread that bakes in a 9x9 dish. The dish fit with room to spare, and with the convection turned on, the cornbread came out just as good as if I had baked it in our regular oven. My guess is that we'll use this oven a lot. I don't plan to use the rotisserie or try to roast chicken after what some people have said about the convection fan getting gummed up and failing. Bottom line - as most have said, this is a great oven. The problem is in the shipping. Notes about the shipping: I have been an Amazon Prime customer for a couple of years now. My wife and I decided to order this oven the week before Thanksgiving so we'd have a second oven to help cook the big meal. Shipping was supposed to be the standard two day deal, and it was shipped via ABF - I'm not sure if this is the same company that others have previously complained about. On November 24, the day after we ordered it, the shipment status was updated to "Lost by carrier". It finally made it to our metro area on Dec. 1, at which point the tracking was updated to "Received shipment - did not receive paperwork," and it was marked undeliverable. I contacted Amazon, and they said if it ever arrives, I can refuse shipment or return it at Amazon's expense. We wound up buying this at Kohl's after the one from Amazon was marked as lost in transit - it was even on sale for a lower price than Amazon offered.

The oven arrived in less than a week and the shipping was free. It is good looking, easy to operate, and is very utile. We have been using the oven quite a bit and are very pleased with it. It fills the need between a full sized oven and the microwave. it is a replacement for a very old Toastmaster convection oven that has served us for many years. I really feel this oven will serve us better.
