I need a new convection oven. The single (as opposed to double oven) Fishe= r&Paykel looks like a first class oven - bit better than the Electrolux an= d Bosch. However, I am getting mixed reviews about reliability and service = on line for the F&K . My spouse thinks that only the bad stuff is being re= ported. How about an objective survey from some very practical folks on th= e WW group who have an F&K oven (single or double).
Thanks Len

You may get a better response posting this to a group like rec.food.cooking
My impression of F & P is not good though, but never owned one.

No experience here other than they are strongly pushed on "America's Test Kitchen" show.
Doesn't that mean F&P gave them $20k worth of ovens in return for the ATK morons hawking their wares?

No info on the F&P but SWMBO likes the Electrolux a lot - enough that I'll probably be buying another soon after she moves to the new place.
--------------------------------------- Can't comment on F&P equipment; however, if you also are considering a toaster oven, the Breville with quartz rod heating elements is tough to beat.
At $249.00, it's Festool pricing, but have found it worth every penny paid for it.

Is it convection? I've thought for some time about buying a large sized toaster type over with convection capability, but I've been wary of what convection cooking can do in such an oven.
Anybody here use such a beast? How useful is convection cooking in a toaster type oven?
--------------------------------- Yes.

I thought Electrolux was a sweeper? I'd go with Festool before Electrolux.
I bet bet fewer WW's know what a F&K is than what a Festool is. That's saying something...
Nope. It's an appliance manufacturer; one of the largest. Perhaps you've heard of Frigidaire?
8 years of daily baking in both our single and doubles. No issues. Burned out 3 others in the 3 years prior. My wife averages 12 dozen cookies a day and 8 to 10 loaves of bread.
Electrolux is a sweeper, but the other Electrolux is a Swedish appliance manufacturer. About 10 or so years ago, they bought out the company that evolved into Frigidaire.
The original Frigidaire was a General Motors division that made good appliances. It was sold off, but the name was worth quite a bit.
Westinghouse, White, Hotpoint, Crosly, Edison Products and a few others became part of White Consolidated Industries but they changed the name to Frigidaire after doing some market research. The name had a good reputation and was associated with a quality product even though they were cheapened over the years. AB Electrolux bought out WCI in about the mid 90's or so.
