What bad things have you heard about the Monogram? I know that one person here is having problems with theirs, but there are many here that have been very happy with theirs.

When we were choosing ovens, we were down to the ZET2's and the Fisher and Paykels. We ended up with the FP's and are quite pleased with them. I recommend that you look at them as well. I believe they run at about the same pricepoint as the monograms.

Thanks for the feedback, - I read on another board that it takes one owner around 30 mins. to get the heat to 350 in their SET2s. Lots of GE Profile oven owners had much better pre heat times but I haven't seen anything from Monogran owners. Any idea how long it takes your oven to reach 350 tamjo44? My other concern was the reported oven failures, hence the post. I also love the sliding racks and my local dealer has one on sale at a great price so I am very tempted.

I have the Monogram double ovens. I love them! Preheat is extremely fast....about 5-9 minutes, tops.

The racks are very nice and there is so much room in the ovens. Another feature that I like, though I thought I wouldn't at first, is that the interior lights stay on throughout the baking process. I like to see when things are browning and rising without turning the light on and off half a dozen times. :)

The fans are EXTREMELY quiet and the ovens do not radiate hot air into the kitchen like my last oven did.

I am glad I went with the Monograms. Hope this helps!

I can second what Cookingpassion has said about the ZET oven. I've lived with the single wall oven (ZET1) for about a year now and am completely pleased with it. Very quick preheat, quiet fan, rolling racks, large oven cavity, easy-to-use controls, very even cooking/baking/browning of food, and easy to clean up. I've run the self-clean numerous times and it does a beautiful job. It is FAR superior to the Kitchenaid Architect wall oven in our previous home. My other top contenders were Thermador and Fisher-Paykel and I'd choose the Monogram again today. We have paired it with a Wolf AG range and the Monogram wins as our go-to everyday oven because of its fast preheat and self-cleaning function. However, you can't beat the gas oven for broiling, roasting, etc.

Hazela- I timed my oven tonight. From 0 to 350 in 9.5 minutes. The manual says 10-15, so I was impressed.

Just baked 3 racks of cookies on convection and they all came out the same golden color. I didn't quite know what to do with myself. With my old oven, I would have to switch racks and turn the sheets a 1/4 turn or the back corner would burn. I actually got the mixing bowl etc washed while the cookies baked. What a pleasure!

Thank you all for the great feedback, that is exactly the kind of user information I was looking for! I am delighted to hear how quickly the Monogram heats, that was the one issue that was holding up my decision, thanks tamjo44!

Okay, calling all Monogram DBL Oven owners that have had their ovens for a bit. Are you still happy with them? I am deciding between the Electrolux, just like the looks, and the Monogram. Wanted to see how yours are performing now that you have had them for awhile.

Is there any functional difference between the Ze2slss, ZE2PLSS, ZET1058PFSS and ZE2RMSS?

Thanks,
Judy

Yolande 1951, I'm not sure, but the difference could be the style of the handles.

If you go to the double oven section on the GE Monogram website, you can check the "compare" boxes, click on "compare" at the bottom and it will highlight all the differences between their ovens.

I am also trying to select double convection ovens for a remodel. I was leaning towards Thermador until I started reading horror stories on the internet about service calls galore and bad customer service. Since I have had decent experiences with Monogram gas cooktop and built in fridges, I am now considering the ovens for my new kitchen. (moving to a different house too). I have Dacor ones in this house and they have been good except the hinge on the top one is not quite right and can't seem to be fixed entirely after 2 service calls. But Dacor ovens are twice the price of the Monograms, so it is hard to justify buying that brand again, even though they are supposedly the "best" baker's ovens.
