Outstanding Oven
This oven is outstanding, it literally changed my life in the kitchen. The cooking options are endless but very simple to use and really useful. Roasting a chicken to the perfection, baking fish or cakes, keeping food warm, even baking your first turkey for Thanksgiving, everything is made simple and successful.This is the best appliance I ever bought in my life. I highly recommend it. Oh and also, the wave-touch is a great!

    Oven Love
    I love this oven. Smooth glide racks are important to me as I have back problems and I want to easily lift heavy roasts out of the oven. Other ovens have glide racks but several I tested were not as smooth. When I received this oven, one rack was smooth and the other "screechy". I called the company and they immediately sent me a new, very smooth, glide rack. I have two ovens, this and a Kenmore in our basement kitchen. The Kenmore is inconsistent and I need to adjust the temperature every time so that it won't burn food. This Electrolux is right at temperature, every time. I have cooked triptip to a perfect medium rare, large trays of cookies and many cakes and they have turned out beautifully. No hot spots or burnt back edges. My only complaint is that the oven is a bit narrow. When I put a family size Papa Murphy's pizza in it, about two inches of the pizza must curl up on the glass window of the oven. But I do like that I can cook two pizzas at once on convention (switching them 1/2 way on upper lower racks) and neither burn or stay undercooked. And the curled bit on the window cooks just fine without any mess. I would definitely buy this oven again.

      Bakes perfect , looks beautiful
      The oven looks so nice  in my kitchen. It actually changed the look of my kitchen. My kitchen looks modern and classy. I love all the features. I am a big baker and this oven has consistently turned out great results. The only drawback I can find is the preheat time is longer than other ovens. I have been told it is because the heating elements are all internal. I love the look of that, and the ease of cleaning the inside, so it is a trade off I am willing to put up with. I also have an Electrolux fridge and the combination looks amazing in my kitchen.

        LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new oven!
        This oven is awesome! It is super easy to use. I remember seeing Kelly Rippa dancing around her Electrolux appliances and thinking there's no way these appliances are as nice as they look on TV. I was wrong. I am the worse baker ever so I need all the help I can get.

          baking
          Will take some time to adjust from old oven. Different pans bake better than others.

            Love my oven
            This is a great oven. It heats quickly, cooks evenly and I love the touch controls. It offers a wide variety of options such as bread proofing, the ability to adjust the temp of the oven up and down by 5 degrees with the touch of a button during cooking time, convection baking, defrosting and slow cooking. The racks glide out effortlessly and I like  the "theater"  lighting.

              Couldn't ask for more!
              This oven is a cook's dream!  I have owned this oven since last March, and each time I use it, I am pleasantly surprised, either due to a new setting I have discovered, or by the wonderful results.  The features are incredible - even some features that I thought I would likely never use - I am happy to admit I am enjoying each and every feature,  This oven is easier, quicker, or more precise than any appliance I have used.  The convection convert feature is wonderful, the bread proofing is a handy tool, and the dehydrate function is a fun treat.  Energy efficient and roomy enough to roast a turkey breast, while cooking a vegetable souffle, and heat garlic bread at the same time means not having to worry about one dish for dinner being ready before the rest of the meal.  This oven has effectively eliminated the use for several of my other convenience appliances - such as my slow cooker and my warming drawer,  I cannot wait to use the "Perfect Turkey" setting, this Thanksgiving!

                Electrolux Wall Oven Not As Great As I Expected
                I was disappointed to learn that the racks could not be cleaned during the self-clean process. What good does it do to clean the walls of the oven if you don't also clean the racks? Recently, when I tried to use the self-clean feature, it is not operational, a message repeatedly appearing that the racks must be removed while they ARE removed. There is excessive condensation around the door of the oven which is damaging the wooden cabinetry.

                  Extremely pleased with this oven
                  I have owned this oven with wave touch controls for four months now.  It does everything it is advertised as doing, and does it very very well. When used with the included meat probe, meat comes out just as you want it. The oven converts cook time for you when using the convection feature. I am extremely pleased with this oven. The quality is immediately apparent when you open the door or look at the racks. I recommend this oven without reservation. Well with the money.

                    Resolution of initial failure
                    Familiar with durability and longevity of Electrolux products having resided in Europe and the USA, I chose Electrolux kitchen appliances based on their function, form, and reliability. The wall oven was used three times since installation and after the third use, the main controller circuit board failed. This despite having a whole house surge suppressor on the incoming electrical lines to the house circuit panel. Electrolux technical phone support was efficient and very good at diagnosing and having me confirm the board was bad. I placed a call to the local service provider and was dissapointed when they showed up without the part and informed me they had to verify themselves the part was defective. This led to additional delays as they did not have the part in their stock and had to be located in a warehouse. On top of that, the oven had gone out of warranty due to home construction delays on the part of my initial contractor so this required paying a service charge over $440 to get the oven back in Service. The oven has been operating almost a full year since the controller was replaced without further issues. It gets a moderate amount of use, performs as expected and is very accurate in maintaining temperature. Cooking results are excellent. The self-cleaning feature works extremely well.This oven has many feautures documented in the user manual that simplifies operation so it pays to familiarize onself with the capabilities this oven has. I am fully satisfied with its performance, features, and appearance.

                      Broken Oven
                      This oven worked for five years then shut down!!!!!!! Would not have purchased such an expensive item if I did not expect it to last longer.

                        The oven that can't be fixed
                        I loved this oven for the first year and a half that I owned it. It is now three years old. After the first year and a half, it began to incinerate my food no matter what the temperature was set at. It was repaired 3 times over a two month period. They replaced the temperature sensor. Then the oven did not get hot enough. They replaced the main circuit board. TWICE! It worked for 8 months and once again would not heat up properly. I've had the repairman out 4 times in the last 6 weeks. Again they replace the temperature sensor and the main circuit board. It heated up to 350 yesterday when the repairman was here; when I go to cook in it today, it only heats up to 250 degrees even though it is set at 425. I can't bake and I HATE this oven!

                          Disappointed
                          Ironically, I receive this request to submit a review, and lately I've been having issues with this oven. Its rarely used, as it is in a 2nd home and the control panel had to be replaced after 3 years and now the oven wont heat up past 100 degrees. Looks great, but not standing up to Electrolux standards.

                            Love everything about your wall oven except it tends to get dirty very quickly. Any suggestions on cleaning the racks?

                              I Love It!
                              This is a wonderful oven! It practically cooks itself... I made cookies on three trays using the convection bake setting and they turned out wonderfully. I used the double-walled aluminum cookie sheets with parchment paper linings. The cookies cooked in about the normal time (10 minutes) and all the trays browned well. The very center cookie in the center tray was the least done, but I was pleased with the outcome. I baked a pie on the convection setting, using the convection convert setting and an end time of 55 minutes. The pie had been frozen and browned beautifully! I made my usual recipe of chicken breasts coated with a lite breading and in just 10 minutes, they were done - juicy and moist, too! The manual is easy to follow; I'm learning all the buttons to press and trying to decide which will be my favorite settings.

                                Not all silver parts are steinless steel
                                The piece pooping out above the main handle, and under the wave touch control, which is silver, is just plastic, my kids chipped it and it is peeling, the part is white plastic, VERY DISAPPONTED!!!! We paid for what was suppose to be steinless steel strong long lasting oven, not a steinless steel look alike, white cheap white plastic parts cover in silver coloring.

                                  My wife and I chose the wall oven first of all for the looks, however once we used it we fell in love with it. With so many functionalities we're still finding so many things to do with this oven.

                                      Yes - the oven is amazing - the only problem I am having is the cleaning. Can not get the oven window very clean - is there a cleaning secret for this?

                                        Love to oven!
                                        I love my oven! I have used every single feature! What I did find out is to clear out the demo setting then it will work much better for you :) I set up all my fav's for my husband to use so all he has to do is push one button and its ready! I also love how much faster it cooks. My pefect turkey was so good we did not want to cut it and it cook so much faster then what we thought it would! I was ready before my family showed up! First time for that.

                                          We've had this oven for a year and are still discovering the amazing features and sophisticated cooking programs. The temperature probe is spot on accurate, and the speed with which the oven preheats is astonishing. Great oven.

                                                All around, it is a beautiful as well as functional addition to our kitchen remodel. I have used the "Perfect turkey" and it roasts a "perfect turkey", my 4 year old grandson and I bake a lot together. It is safe and perfect for him to "Wave" the controls on and off. I love the soft, elegant timer sounds, I love the color, I love the absence of the bottom element (ease of keeping the oven clean) but still has excellent even cooking! The cooking racks are easy in and easy out! This is a terrific appliance!

                                                      Thoroughly pleased!
                                                      I purchased this particular oven for two reasons: 1) It was a reasonable fit to my existing cutout and 2) the easy glide racks were a feature I had to have. My husband modified the cutout slightly and installed the oven without difficulty. After using this product for 6 months, I must say, "I am totally satisfied". It's much more than the reasons we purchased it. The racks are a convenience I would never again by without; the cooking speed and accuracy is right on the money; and the ability to customize the controls to meet my recipes is really a handy feature. When we made the decision to purchase Electrolux, we knew we were paying a premium, but it's been well worth it. When friends visit, I show of my knew oven just like my husband shows off his new flat panel TV.

                                                        Some very nice features
                                                        We selected this electric wall oven as a basic unit to supplement a freestanding 36 range. The nicest and most appreciated feature is a bread-rising setting, which we had not been fully aware of at the time of selection. The "wave-touch" part of the control system is a little too gimicky, and not the easiest to get to work. I live in fear that the electronic fancies will self destruct, leaving us with a non-functional unit and a thousand dollar repair bill.

                                                          LOVE THIS OVEN!!
                                                          I bought this oven over a year ago to replace the builder bult-in oven (GE). I have to admit ... I'm not a very good cook so over the years I have had a "love-hate" relationship with many appliances. This is one of the first ones that I love unconditiionally! :-) The oven cooks evenly, quietly and the racks roll out so effortlessly. The cobalt blue interior is just gorgeous, the convection fan is great and the self cleaning feature is TERRIFIC. It has a "temperature probe" you can insert into meats to digitally read out their internal temperature. I have been able to make the most OUTSTANDING prime rib in this oven. So any appliance that makes ME look like a great cook .... is a GREAT APPLIANCE in my book!!! I've read the other reviews and have not experienced ANY of the problems that others have mentioned (a hum, etc.) I did have the unit professionally installed and highly recommend others do so.
