Premier 30 Inch Gas Range With Electronic Ignition And 5 Burners, 10 Inch Backguard, White - SFK249W Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After much searching for a new gas range and also trying one of the name brands out there, namely a Frigidaire, we settled on this one. We have had many nightmeres trying to find a simple gas stove as the new modern ones with their electronic controls cost a fortune to replace when they go. My old one only last three years before the electronic oven control went. I hated the sealed burners, everything takes longer to cook and heat up. The only benefit they have is clean up and thats much to be desired. If you cook with a wok, you can't used sealed burners as they don't get hot enough. so our goal was to find a simple stove, so it would last us for many years. Well, you can't fnd them out there. So I started researching on the internet. I found several G.E.s and everytime I would try to order them.....oh, they have been discontinued. So my husband found this premier which you can't find many of in stores in NYS. I don't know about other places. I couldn't find a review either. So we jumped in and took a chance and we are SOOOOOO glad we did. This stove is made in the U.S.A. their website gives you complete details on how well made they are and they have not lied about that either. Its the most well built stove I have seen in many many years. The center burner can be changed to be a griddle. The only problem we had was that the porcelain griddle cover didn't sit flat and so I called them and they said they would put one in the mail to me, no questions asked. Its nice to get a company in this country that tells you the truth and isn't trying to sell you a bunch of gimmicks to get you to buy their stove. This stove has all you need, is well built and will last for years, plus in the event of a power failure, you can still light it with a match, not something you can do with the new electronic controls. so it is the only one out there to me that rates a five star. If the stars went higher, I would give them all to this range. You won't be sorry to give them a try.

Maytag MER7775WB 30 Freestanding Electric Range - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ended up purchasing this item from Lowes because of the price break and a promotion on 0% APR for 12 months. Our stove bit the dust and we needed a new one ASAP. We couldn't believe that for the $589 that we paid for it, we could get a convection stove. Well, the convection is an excellent feature, especially for those who love baking breads and cookies. It also has a special way of keeping the temperature stable throughout the stove, so you don't have spots of different temperatures. This stove bakes evenly even on regular baking mode. It also has the feature of delayed heat, so you can set it to preheat and be ready to make dinner when you get home from work. I would definitely purchase this product again. It looks great with our all black appliances. The heating element is in the top, rather than the bottom, so cleaning is much easier, since things tend to drip down rather than up! You'd think everyone would put the heating element in the top.

Sanyo EM-C6786V 1-Cubic-Foot Microwave Oven with Convection and Grill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have owned our Sanyo Microwave Oven with convection and grill for almost two months, and have attempted to test all functions in order to write a complete review. We rely heavily on reviews to help us decide what to buy, so we did our best to evaluate this oven. At almost $180.00 it is not a trivial purchase.
The design is sleek, and the controls easy to use -- but as other reviewers cautioned, keep the booklet handy!
The microwave functions -- cook, auto menu cooking (limited to microwave), auto reheat all work as well as our last microwave -- a G/E over the range.
However, the conbined functions -- micro plus grill, convection plus grill, leave much to be desired.
The roast chicken function -- a combination of micro and grilling is neat and works well -- but does not save time, although it probably saves energy and kitchen heat compared to cooking chicken in a standard oven. When the chicken was taste-tested our family concluded that it was pretty good chicken and assumed that the time to cook was materially reduced -- which it was not. It was agreed that in a "time-bind" they would eat this chicken, but preferred standard oven baked. Given that the chicken took about ten minutes longer than it would have in the oven, the saving was a hot kitchen in the summer, and probably many BTUs.
Combo 1(Micro and Convection) works well -- but it is not fast! Nor are there timing guides. (More on this later)
We have not used Combo 2 (Microwave and Grill) for anything but hot dogs. Too slow by half! Steak is a treat for us, so we cook it with much ceremony outside -- but my experience with grilling hot dogs fo lunch caused me to turn on the broiler in our "real"stove to finish them.
Combo 4 (grill and convection) is rather a joke. Today, in anticipation of putting our review on paper, I took two defrosted quarter pound hamburgs and put them on the grill rack. Dialed in 20 minutes on Combo 4 and walked away. At 20 minutes, the hamburgs registered about 100 degrees F. internal -- as in not cooked. I added another 5 minutes and temped them and got to 120 degrees. Another 6 minutes got them to an edible internal temperature of 140. Thirty minutes to "grill?" two hamburgers?
The convection function alone works well for small quantities of food. But, it is important to note that this is not a convection oven -- in other words an oven that cooks more rapidly than a "standard" oven.
So, what is this neat little oven good for? As a micro it's great. In the same space as a micro you can heat dinner rolls on convection when your main oven is tied up, or bake appetizers while the roast is roasting in the main oven.
What's missing? A recipe book would have helped. The first time I cooked hamburgs using Combo 4 I figured they would cook faster than the time to heat my T-Fal Compact Multi-Grill (rather a waste for two burgers!) and I was dead wrong! (The reason for today's test.) If there had been a booklet or time sheet that indicated 30 minutes to cook two thawed burgers -- well T-Fal would have had the whole job rather than finishing it up!
For people who live in dorm rooms (I was once one of those!) who want all the functions of an oven and a micro in one box -- I would have been glad to have this Sanyo. But -- a recipe book that might indicate time to cook various things -- would really help.
Are we glad we bought this oven? Well, yes. But, and this is important, it is not a Micro/Convection Oven -- nor does it claim to be one.
This oven is a great microwave -- we are very happy with the micro functions. It is also a nice "auxilliary" oven for entertaining -- as long as you can work out the times. It probably saves energy over heating up our main gas oven for small things and will likely keep heat out of our kitchen in the summer.

More than just a 1000-watt microwave oven, this versatile appliance also functions as a 1000-watt grill and a 1400-watt convection oven. With convection cooking, hot air circulates throughout the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly--great for baking cakes, cookies, and muffins, or even for browning meats. The 10 convection temperature settings range from 285 to 400 degrees F. A grill rack comes included for during the grill function, which cooks and heats items such as fish, nachos, hot dogs, and sausages. When microwave cooking, choose from five power levels: 10 percent, 30 percent, 50 percent, 80 percent, or 100 percent. The unit also provides four combination settings: combination one (microwave and convection) for frozen entrees and casseroles, combination two (microwave and grill) for steaks, combination three (grill and microwave) for chicken, and combination four (grill and convection) for hamburgers.
For added convenience, nine direct-access push-button menu keys make it easy to cook popular items. Menu keys include popcorn, beverage, pizza, potato, frozen vegetable, meat, fish, and roast chicken, as well as auto reheat. Open the door to access the hidden keypad and to use the digital encoder for setting the time, power, and weight input. Other highlights include a 1-cubic-foot stainless-steel interior, a large 12-3/8-inch rotating glass turntable, multi-stage cooking options, a 95-minute cooking timer, defrost by weight or time, a child lock-out function, and an interior light. To clean, simply wipe the inside and outside with a soft cloth and mild detergent solution, then rinse and wipe dry. The stylish and contemporary-looking microwave/convection/grill oven measures 18-4/5 by 20-1/2 by 13-1/4 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.

GE Profile Spacemaker Series JVM1790WK 30 1.7 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bottom-Line: Overall I am very pleased with the GE Profile Model JVM1790WK Over-the-Range Convection/Microwave Oven.
None of us (except the uber-rich, who have enough money to ride the whole thing out) are immune to the economic downturn it seems. My wife and I had decided to put our house on the market this spring, but decided not to when the numbers just didn't add up in our favor. So we decided to remodel our small, but comfortable home instead.
In the kitchen and dining room we replaced the flooring. And we decided to replace our 10-year-old countertop microwave oven with an over-the-range convection/microwave oven, that could also act as a warming oven; we eventually choose the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" over-the-range convection/microwave oven, which we purchased for ($519.00) at our local Grants Appliances & TV.
The Unit
The 65lbs. "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" over-the-range convection/microwave oven is an all-white 1.7 Cu. Ft. capacity, 1000 watt unit that offers the following feature-set:

oConvection cooking - produces flavorful, beautifully browned results
oFast bake - delivers oven-quality results up to 25% faster than conventional cooking
oSensor microwave oven - uses built-in sensors to automatically set power and time based on food moisture levels
oWarming oven - keeps prepared foods exceptionally warm and fresh
oAuto Recipe conversion - automatically converts standard recipe temperatures to proper convection settings, eliminating the guesswork
oBi-lingual scrolling display - provides helpful cooking tips and oven use instructions in easy to read English or Spanish
oThree speed, 300 CFM venting - allows adjustment of ventilation levels according to your needs
oEasy set control dial - allows quick and easy adjustment of time and temperature settings
oStainless steel interior - reflects heat and surface cleans quickly and easily
The unit is of course designed to fit is standard 30" over-the-range opening and fit into our opening rather nicely once the hood was removed. The all-white unit is attractive, and relatively easy to use and operate.
The "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK Microwave Oven" ships with a standard rotating glass plate, along with two stainless steel racks for convection roasting and baking, instruction manual, and cookbook.
During over-the-range installation one can choose to vent the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" outside or inside the kitchen via charcoal vent situated at the top of the unit. Air is drawn into the microwave via vents at the bottom. A two-way light is also situated at the bottom of the unit, but unfortunately it does not provide as much light as the hood it replaced. This is probably due to the face that the light is much closer to the cook top and it is off to the right front of the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK." Push the "Surface Light" button once and the lamp comes on full power, push is again and the light enters night light mode.
The "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" comes with a powerful 3-speed Vent (fan). Push the "Vent" once and the fan comes on High, push it again, medium, once again, low. Both the high and medium vent fan setting is quite noisy, but not annoyingly so.
Use
Microwave operation is pretty straight forward and needless to say the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" with is 1.7 cubic feet of cooking space and 1000 watts of cooking power excels at this task. The ubiquitous Popcorn button (a must in my house) is the first button on the top row left. Push it and the unit automatically adjusts its time to turn out the best bag of popcorn.
Timed cooking is accomplished by the push of a button and a rotary dial to input the cook time. Push the "Reheat Plate" button and the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" utilizing the units auto-sense technology automatically adjusts the time and power to reheat the food evenly. The feature works and works well.
Convection cooking is not so straight forward but it is one of the reasons we purchased the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK". There are a number of options available for convection cooking and one is well-advised to read through the manual to find the selection that best suits your needs.
I baked my first dish in the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" soon after it was installed: homemade cornbread. I pushed the "Convection Bake" button--there is also a Convection Roast--and then dialed in the temperature I needed, in this case 400 degrees. Unlike some reviews I read the oven took less than 30 minutes to warm up; in fact it took a little over 15 minutes, which is on par with my conventional gas oven.
After to required 23 minutes the cornbread was done, well sort of done. The outside was sufficiently golden brown, but the inside middle was not quite done. Something tells me that this convection cooking stuff is going to take some getting used to!
Closing Thoughts
Overall I am very pleased with the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK Over-the-Range Convection/Microwave Oven." Despite the fact that my first attempt at convection baking did not turn out quite as expected, I will over time learn the ins and outs of convection cooking. The microwave portion of the "GE Profile Model JVM1790WK" works as expected and the unit look fabulous with our kitchen full of other GE appliances.
