While most wall ovens sold today are electric, a surprising number of users remain enthusiastic about gas ovens like the Frigidaire FGB24L2AS. This 3.2-cubic-foot compact wall oven, measuring just 24 inches wide, garners praise for its performance, Users report it heats up quickly, bakes evenly and is easy to clean. This is a very basic oven, lacking features such as a convection setting and a self-cleaning cycle. However, it does have a separate broiler tray, touchpad controls and a one-year warranty. It is available in white or black; stainless steel is an upgradable option.
The Frigidaire FGB24L2AS has not been included in any professional tests, but we found a large volume of user reviews for this model.
