Should have bought the Frigidaire Gallery
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was expecting more from such a pricey appliance. Convection is slower cooking than regular oven. I don’t see browning like normal baking. You have to set temperature higher to get it to cook on temperature you want.

    Great bake
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only used oven once but cakes came out perfect. The tops were even and uniformly cooked without having to turn the pans during cooking.

      Versatile and easy to use
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After only 3 weeks I have pretty much mastered the option of this amazing oven. Using it is so easy that baking is a joy again!

        Wonderful Oven
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only had this a month but can see it is a great asset to our kitchen. I’ve used it for roasting mostly, and it is even steady heat ending in a perfect sheet pan meal of chicken and potatoes with mustard honey dressing. The inside is as beautiful as the outside, print free stainless. Good lighting to peek through the glass door. Fit well in our 27”’space. Only sorry I could not get the matching microwave because we are in an older home with only one 220 line for plug in. Thanks KitchenAid

          Love my convection wall oven
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a home in oct. 2018 stuck in t 1977. The all in one wall unit was sad, needed replaced. Microwave was toast and the oven when set beyond 350 went to 500. I have always loved Kitchen Aid so we went about replacement with our home warranty. It has taken almost 5 months to make this happen. Wanted to buy made in America and Maytag is USA and KAid. Is their top of the line. My turnovers are lite and crisp. Just like bought in a top bakery. My yellow 2 layer cake is better than the bakery. This is the best oven I have ever baked in and...It Is Mine.

            Fun and easy
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced at 10-year-old Dacor oven and it's like night and day. I only wish I would have done it sooner.

              Quiet cool down
              This new over replaced one we had for 15 years.We liked the controls and quiet cool down compared. However we were surprised that the broil function is with the door closed. Even our sales person was surprised when we told her. I would love to know why. There was a lot of smoke in our first grilling.

              replacing an old oven
              (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We bought the replacement about a month ago and really like the big glass door and lighting. It's easy to use and we love the features. The only annoying thing is the fan noise as the oven cools off.

              These are HOT
              (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We bought these ovens after careful consideration of this KitchenAid brand and we are so glad we did. These heat very well and thoroughly cook the insides of every dish we have tried. Love the feature of rolling racks and self cleaning. They are sleek in design and fit our kitchen area better than the last oven because they are less clunky. We think these ovens are HOT, HOT, HOT!

                Saved Christmas!
                (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) My family enjoyed tremendous holiday meals due to my new oven. We entertained over fifty people at one of our gatherings with confidence and ease with the help of the oven. Also the Christmas Day feast could not have been possible without it. My chef daughter was delighted with the oven.

                  The Right Decision!!
                  (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Well, it has only been a few weeks and I am totally pleased with my double oven that replaced a microwave/oven combination. The control panel is easy to use and the adjusting oven racks with the pull-out tray is a very nice touch. This was one of the reason I selected this Kitchenaid oven.

                    Fantastic oven
                    I was undecided about staying with built in appliances; however, I am glad I did. This oven with its large glass door not only looks great in the kitchen, it out performs any other built in or free standing oven I've ever owned, and the large glass door allows me to watch what's baking without having to open the door. One feature I was unaware of and thrilled with is the cooling fan that stays on after the oven is turned off, cooling the interior. I am extremely satisfied with this oven!

                      Double oven, double good!
                      (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Having limited space in a recent kitchen remodel required buying an oven with small dimensions. This Kitchen-Aid 27 inch Convection Double Wall Oven delivered the most interior space with a seamless installation. The blue interior is not only eye poppingly beautiful, but easy to clean. I love having three shelves that fit my cookie sheets! Features are easy to use and I especially enjoy the "bread proofing" feature. This past Thanksgiving meal was a breeze to fix! It's a quality product that I look forward to using for many years to come! I actually enjoy cooking and baking again!

                      I like touch gestures instead of knobs.
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had one before and it croaked after only 8 years. Love the new one. The air blowing is much quieter than the old one when cooling off.

                        Built in meat thermometer!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this new stove. Especially the built in meat thermometer.

                          Great features and great oven
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about two months ago and it’s the best oven I’ve ever used

                            A true Masterpiece
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After making our first use of our new Kitchen Aid built in oven, we finally figured it out and it was quite simple. At our age, a new electronic device can be a real challenge. Now, we would not part with it. It does so much better than our previous RCA Whirlpool unit. It has more interior space and cooks more evenly. The bright blue interior is a delight and so easy to keep clean.

                              Constant failure
                              Got this oven with new house. We cook a lot. After 2 years the control panel went out. A year later went out again. Horrible design.

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't used it a great deal, but it seems to function ok. I am disappointed that GOOD user's guide does not come with it. One thing that is VERY disappointing on the oven is the timer. The volume is so low, one must nearly be beside the oven to hear it when the time is completed.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Convection works well on all things cooked so far. Controls are very convenient to use. Overall a very good purchase. Glad I purchased it.

                                      Incredible Oven
                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new Kitchen Aid oven is nothing short of amazing, it’s so quiet I hardly know it’s on, and the convection feature is incredible- thanks!

                                        So happy with the KitchenAid Convection Wall Oven
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fits perfectly into the spot of the original wall oven, which I had for over 30 years. I hope this one lasts the same length of time! But I would be 105 years old by then. :)It cooks well and quite evenly, even with four cakes in the oven. It heats very quickly, either on convection or regular. It also cooks very well and quite evenly, even with four cakes in the oven. I still have much to learn and much to look forwared to. Thanks, KitchenAid!

                                          Beautiful Oven...just wish it came with a manual
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This oven is beautiful in my kitchen but I wish I had a manual to tell me about all the features its has!! I have had to experiment basically and have looked online but found nothing specific for my oven! What am I missing??

                                            Great oven
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just replaced my first one (same oven) after 22 years. Only negative is the timer. Who engineered the sound?? It has a weird sound and is not as loud as my original oven, thus making it harder to hear above vent fans and other kitchen noises when cooking. (by the way, it is set at loudest setting). As an interior designer who designs kitchens, I often spec Kitchenaid appliances. My clients are satisified with quality and performance.

                                              WORST WALL OVEN EVER
                                              We bought this oven 2 years ago and had one good year and then NOTHING but problems. Constantly shutting itself down Error Codes F2E1, F2E0, F1E0 Good thing we bought the extended warranty or so we thought. 8 service calls, various parts replaced and we still have the same problem. I don't recommend this oven to anyone. In 2 years, we've had over 6 months that it didn't work.

                                                Don’t buy! Nothing but problems
                                                My wall oven is 7 years old and from day one, I have had nothing but problems with it. For the third time since the first of the year, my control panel is burned out. I think an oven that costs this much should last longer than 7 years. It’s a piece of junk and I do NOT recommend!

                                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have owned for two months, we purchased the same model 13 years ago and it died. I would have given five stars for the new oven except we had to wait 11 months until the new unit arrived. One issue we had was a part came damaged. Called KitchenAid and was told the part would be delivered in two weeks. A month later, no part and no update. Not happy with logistics due to delays.
