My 15 year old GE oven started giving problems with the keypad/cables (F7) so I decided it was time to replace it with a newer model. Installation was straightforward except the existing gas valve behind the oven interfered with the back of the oven. The valve had to be removed to get the oven to fit flush.
This oven takes much longer to reach operating temperatures because of the hidden element. To get to 450 deg, mine took over 20 minutes. I understand this is normal, but it takes a lot longer than my old one.
The lack of a light switch is dissapointing. You must open the door to turn it on.

Stylish and a great value
One of the lowest price Stainless Steel wall ovens we found. Easy to install and looks stylish.
It's not convection, but I read that convection is not good for baking pastries due to the fan blowing on the goodies so we didn't want convection anyway.
Cons:
The first time you use it, it may smell funny. New smell?
There's no light switch. You must crack the door open if you want to see the status of the baking.
There's a bottom vent that is not completely covered. It's black so isn't that noticeable. Looks like a muffler on a car. Could have been nicer with a Vent cover with small holes.
