Need help w/ Miele oven choices - speed and steam
Comments (9)This is why we decided to go ahead and do a convection oven below the combi-steam oven. It's sort of hard to add one at a later date if we realize that we need it. We were going to put our countertop microwave in the pantry but decided to go ahead and get a microwave drawer since there was space for it. It's a bit far from the other appliances so we won't run into the different colored stainless issues people ask questions about....See MoreDiva and Miele Induction cooktops, Gaggenau and Miele Ovens
Comments (4)Did you try the appliance forum? I haven't seen the new Miele 3 element, but their other models have true timers and 17 power levels (hidden in the programmable features), whereas Diva, as of a few months ago, had 9 power levels only, and said they had no plans to have either. Both are high quality products with good reputations for reliability and customer service. Both Miele and Gaggenau are excellent ovens as well. I'm completely familiar with model numbers, but as I understand it, Miele ovens are known for the system where you choose what you're cooking and the oven figures out the settings. I'd be concerned about the side opening of a Gaggenau oven in an undercounter installation. The obstruction of a drop down door seems like it would, by creating a barrier, be safer, whereas the side swing seems like it would be more easily disregarded and perhaps become a tripping hazard, down where people's legs are. Both are efficient and precise ovens. Gaggenau are known more for their engineering than customer service. If you have a local Gaggenau service center, they're great. Otherwise, you might have to work harder to get a good response--it's not that you won't, it just might take longer and take more effort on your part. Miele has an excellent customer service reputation, and are especially pleased if you have one of their certified installers do the installation. They give you an extra year of warranty to encourage it. In other words, you've spec'd excellent units. Choose the features you like the best and I'm sure you'll be very happy with whatever you end up with....See MoreAppliance Forum X-Post: Planning 24" Miele Oven Install
Comments (4)Yes I do have this oven. I am relatively satisfied with it. Only negative for me is that it cooks somewhat unevenly which of course shows up as browning more to one side. Have to rotate the food if I want it to be browned evenly. But I am happy with the size (no problem with a large turkey), quick pre-heating, plenty of cook modes available, wide temperature range, and timing features. Re my original post: We used the Specs document opening height (not the Product Manual) dimension so that there is no gap at the top....See More24" cooktop over a 24" oven in a 24" Ikea base cabinet?
Comments (19)@wdccruise, that is correct. Akurum was discontinued and we now have Sektion. That is why I made the call-out. @MJ, I don't have any recommendations for installers. I know I had considered the kitchen couple and also Traemand's, but in the end, I ended up using Apart & Together, but he has since moved to a different state and has retired. I would reach out to Traemand's with the question if you are thinking of using them. Or if you plan on using a different installer, please ask them. They can review your kitchen (sometimes for a fee) in order to make sure that everything that is needed will be ordered....See Moresandmtn_gw
