We bought a Jenn Air convection oven with smoothtop electric range in 2003, and it’s been very good. I was looking for Kenmore (our budget was $600) . This Jenn Air one was regularly $1200 at the time but as a floor model , half off! Deal!
What I like: 1) smooth top looks as good now as then. 2) knobs are easy to control —no annoying beeping you have with electronic buttons. 3) big interior with a solid surface that hasnt chipped 4) bottom drawer can be used as a warming drawer but I only use it for storage of huge pans. 5) self-cleaning 6) ENd Cook Time button. I can set it to shut off so I don’t have to babysit it.
What I don’t like: 1) one of the back burners has only worked on the HIGH setting since about 2010. We use it just to boil stuff. 2). I wish I’d measured my widest baking sheets to see if I could put two side-by-side. I can’t. 3) The convection unit stopped working at some point but I didn’t notice. I wasn’t an avid baker and didn’t use the convection feature often anyway. Never missed it.
Definitely figure out your must-haves, then your like-to-haves, and your hate-to haves. You are in a good position to make an informed decision since you are under no pressure. Win!
