Recently my father's oven exploded, or rather, the element did. This is the second time it has happened so he is in the market for a new oven. The glass door also shattered once.
After doing a lot of research online it's hard to get many good reviews, takes, and experiences that people have regarding each oven/brand. I figure, who better to ask than someone who works on things like this! While we have some idea, more is appreciated :]
Basically looking for general advice on brands and even specific models if possible.
Price: $600-900
Use:
Oven will be used 4-7 days a week except during summer where it will be 1-3. Used for cooking meat for dinner and lots of baking (cakes, cookies, biscotti, etc.)
The range will be used at the very least once a day. My father is retired and cooks dinner for the family pretty much every night. It also gets used in the morning for oatmeal or eggs.
Wants, needs, and limitations:
Electric is our only option. Do not want a GE as we've had bad experiences with them, but will still take them into consideration. Self-clean is an option he wants (preferably steam). Want a convection oven with at least 5.3cu ft or larger, freestanding.
Since he is retired and enjoys cooking/baking the oven will get used a lot!
Thanks again!
