Based on the info I have seen, the main points are the "Multi-Option Cooking with Temperature Probe" and the "CustomConvect3" Convection System. However, I am concerned that when I contact Electrolux (both Electrolux and ICON have the same number going to the same person), the rep says that the regular Electrolux has more features than the ICON. However, she just reads them to me. I have called several times, and I have asked specifically about the baking features, and I am still told about the written features. The ICON has the nice glass panel and the three glide racks vs. the "normal" oven door and two glides racks on the Electrolux. I do like the look of the ICON Pro, yet I don't want to not have features of the regular Electrolux if they are significant (yet I cannot seem to find specific issues).

What perfect timing for this posting. I just returned from PC Richards where, almost 3 months ago, I purchased the Electrolux E30EW85EPS Icon Professional 30" Double Wall Oven. I held off on delivery awaiting cabinets. They called last week, would deliver my oven today. They called yesterday to inform us that model is no longer available! I called Electrolux in GA yesterday and they confirmed the model no longer is available (however it is still listed on their website..go figure) but it has been replaced by the newer, more features, Model E30EW85GPS. They said it is exactly the same just more features. I noted that the newer model comes w/a meat probe and more features than the discontinued model I originally ordered. Due to PC Richard's error, we have now ordered the newer model (more money) which they/Electrolux will absorb so I feel it's a win/win situation for us. The new oven arrives tomorrow!!!

If you go to the Electrolux Web-site and click "Support" a window drops down, and written in red is "Contact Us". If you then click that, you will see "This" : Contact us by phone: 877-435-3287 Fax: 706-228-6615 Address info Electrolux Major Appliances North America 2715 Washington Road Augusta, GA 30909 Google Dacor oven reviews, then do the same for Electrolux Oven Reviews. I did, but I will let you see for yourself , as I own an Elux oven, (Over 5 years now), so I'm biased! Good Luck on your hunt! If You have question about my Elux oven or Speed oven, I will be very happy to answer them. You can also do a search in Garden web for dodge59 Electrolux, and see probably more posts by me than you really wanted to? Gary

Kitchen Aid Architect II Double Wall Oven or Electrolux Icon?
Q
Comments (8)
Hi - We looked at both and went with the Electrolux Icon double set and absolutely love them. We've been in our kitchen since March, so it's not forever, but they've been a dream. Cook really well and I really like the controls. Easy to figure out - and I didn't expect how much I'd like that they fade out when you're not using it so it's a clean front except the clock. The gliding racks are fantastic - don't know who's had problems with them (read one who cleaned the gliders with something which had an affect on them?) But that was one of my KEY decisions. All three racks in both ovens glide - as opposed to the one in the KA Architect II. I asked and you can pay extra to get the gliders for the other racks but if I was spending for a double set, why would I want to pay more! The only feedback I have (and I posted this elsewhere) is that we placed them above the Electrolux warming drawer for a full stack. That makes the controls slightly above my eye height - and I am 5' 11"! I don't use the top rack of the upper at all b/c even though it slides, I have to lift the food up to get it there. Even the mid is a little higher than usual but I'm tall and hubby is 6'2". My advice would just be to put them in a regular double oven cabinet - I would have liked them slightly lower. That said, my 9 yr is a budding chef and even she can reach the controls so it's not that huge of a deal. Pics below - I think you'll be really happy if you go with the Elux Icon set, but best of luck either way! Alexa P.S. Not sure if this is a remodel/new with cabinets or a replacement, but we put a "tray" cabinet in above the oven and it's fantastic.

Electrolux Icon E30EW85GSS Double Wall Oven issues
Q
Comments (12)
The first Electrolux oven (a single) we had wouldn't fit in the cabinet. The cabinet hole was square, but the oven was not. The box looked fine,but the whole thing was racked. We had our contractor take it back and we ordered another one. We were there when he unloaded it. Box looked fine, When we opened the door, both corners of the box down by the hinge had an alarming amount of distintively-blue "powder"-- fine glass shard from the enamel. We couldn't see visible cracks,but that was just too scary after reading about the blue enamel issues of the past. Took that one back, ordered a third. Were starting to think that maybe a whole container got dropped onto a dock or something. Something stressful had happened in the door hinge area. Third time, we unpacked the carton ourselves on the loading dock at the warehouse. There was some blue dust, but not nearly as much as before. We accepted this one, and now counters have been installed over it and work is marching on, but it hasn't been used yet, so only time will tell if we should have accepted that one or just moved on. We were also considering a Bosch as a contender. Then just recently, I read here about one catching on fire. You can always get a lemon, but it's not like there are some 100% reliable options out there. Fingers crossed for both of us!

Electrolux wall ovens - Speed/Icon questions
Q
Comments (4)
This may be too late for you, but I have the Electrolux Pro Icon oven and speed oven. Love them both! Have almost never used the speed feature in 4 months but it is used daily as a microwave (often several times a day) and I have used it lots as a regular and convection oven. I am having a harder time wrapping my head around the speed oven but I am planning on using it tomorrow to cook sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving. The one thing it was fabulous for is cooking my baked beans which take over an hour to bake and for the bacon to get crisp, and it took 30 minutes or less in the speed oven. I LOVE my Electrolux oven! It has lots of features I didn't realize it had which I have loved. For example, speed cook. I have a crock pot which I love to use but it is stored inconveniently and I plug it in on my island so as not to hurt the marble countertops. I worry someone will get burned or knock it over. The last two times I would have used my crock pot (for ribs and for chili), I used my oven instead. Worked beautifully. The ribs I did in foil pans and I could make more which was good because we were feeding more than would fit in my crock pot. The other feature it has which I haven't used but would have liked to know about is the warming drawer. This is a great feature! I have a warming drawer, which is probably good since I just have the one true oven, but if you are doing a double oven (and probably if you are not since you can used your speed oven), it eliminates the warming drawer (which I love and use lots). Then you can have just a drawer for storage!

The main change I've noticed from their website is that the new Electrolux Icon E30EW85GPS models have (6) *six* gliding racks, and 2 standard racks.

Are there any significant differences between the Professional and the Designer series, (besides the shape of the handle)? We've just decided on the Electrolux Icon series, but haven't gone to the next level of detail :-). Our ovens will be near the Samsung french door fridge, so the curved handles on the Designer series might be better, though it's a different sort of handle.

Going through this same exercise, I am wondering if anyone has any updates on the differences of these two ovens, minus the extra easy close rails and more stainless steel. My wife is leaning towards the Icon for appearance reasons but I am hoping that there is more than that for $500 more.

Sorry, I can't help you with the newer models. I bought the Electrolux Icon Convection oven and have been using it for 2 years now. Trouble free. Door front is very cool (temp and looks wise) we love the easy ball bearing glide out racks, and it has the cobalt interior and no flaking from it, etc. So I add this, just to give you our experience with the reliability of them. We also have the speed oven and that is our most used cooking appliance.
Like the other oven, completely trouble free.
We just bought the Electrolux Icon Full induction 30" cooktop. That thing is a blast to use, easy to clean up, etc , so It will give the speed oven some competition as to which we use most.
Good luck on your new selections!!

I installed an Electrolux wall oven into my new home last year. I recently wrote a quick opinion of it after one year's use. See below for a link to the thread.

Good luck!

Newer model is probably also because they moved production from Montreal to the U.S.. easier for them to upgrade the models at the same time.
