In this roundup, Consumer Reports tests 14 wall ovens, most of which have a convection feature. Convection ovens save roasting time and produce better browning. This is the most thorough and comprehensive… review we found for wall ovens. The models are tested for baking and broiling, as well as for capacity. Also included are a features overview and a discussion of the testing methodology, along with ratings and recommendations.

Celebrity chef Cat Cora tests five high-end wall ovens in this report from SmartMoney magazine. She roasts Cornish game hens and sweet potatoes in each oven, while commenting on features, appearance and… ease of use. Each oven is rated on a four-star scale for performance and design. Chef Cora chooses the Wolf L Series (*Est. $3,850), which produces juicy, tender hens and "perfectly crisp" sweet potatoes, as her favorite. Interestingly, despite the catchy title of this article, we're never told whether these ovens cook better than standard ovens, and editors never cook a turkey.
by Editors of Which?
Which? magazine is the United Kingdom's answer to Consumer Reports. For this latest update, editors test 45 single and double ovens -- both gas and electric models -- for performance, convenience and… cleaning. The two top-rated single ovens are the Miele H4250B, which is "flirting with perfection," and the Electrolux Intuition EOB53000K. The Bosch HBN56M550B and New World NW90DOSS are the two best double ovens. Electric ovens and stainless steel finishes are the most popular choices. However, no models reviewed here are available in the U.S. Though this review is thorough, it isn't of much use to homeowners in the United States.

Almost 15,000 consumers participated in a survey about kitchen appliances. Brands (but not individual models) are rated in six categories: Style and feel, performance, price, features, ease of use and… warranty. LG wins in overall satisfaction, with KitchenAid, Kenmore Elite, Frigidaire and Jenn-Air following in the rankings. Although the ratings are interesting, there's no distinction between built-in ovens or cooktops, making this survey less helpful than it could be.

Consumer Reports discusses the 10 most-hyped kitchen products and recommends what to buy instead. One of these products, the steam oven, is a new kitchen appliance that claims to use steam to melt away fat.… Consumer Reports found that food cooked in some of these ovens had just as much fat after steaming as it had before. The advice is to avoid steam ovens because of their high price -- more than $1,000.

GardenWeb is a pleasant place to spend a couple of hours if you love home improvement and gadgets. The forums are full of comments and discussions on every sort of appliance, including wall ovens.… Discussions here point out that speed cookers are too small to substitute for a regular oven, but several contributors recommend them in addition to a wall oven. Contributors also like convection ovens. No comparative product testing or ratings are offered here, but Miele, Bosch and Wolf wall ovens are discussed regularly.

Sears.com allows consumers to review the products it sells. Most of the reviews are very brief, sometimes just a couple of sentences. There are also very few reviews for most models. The Kenmore 47782 and… the Whirlpool RBS245PRQ stand out as having more reviews than other models. Both also have high average scores, between 4.5 and five stars (out of five). This is one of the few websites where you can find user reviews for Kenmore wall ovens.
by Editors of ConsumerGuide.com
Consumer Guide offers expert reviews of 22 wall ovens. Although the reviews are detailed, the ovens don't appear to have been tested. Instead, they are ranked according to their features and relative price.… Because of this, the ratings are less useful than others, but they're worth a look because of their detailed discussion of how particular models stack up against others and what advantages specific features offer in practical use. Some models are given Best Buy and Budget Buy awards, based on how their features and prices stack up against the competition.

Building Products magazine is a trade publication aimed at contractors, but it does offer articles on large appliances from time to time. Although this report is billed as a review, it's more of a… discussion of the newest and most innovative wall ovens available at the time it was written. No specific wall ovens are chosen as the best, but there is some insightful commentary from kitchen designers and building contractors. A photo gallery of the ovens discussed is also included.
by Editors of Choice
