They got this one on sale at local lowes for under 1k. Seems the only complaint people have is you need wifi for air fryer to work, stupid but whatever, my TV is on the wifi, who cares if its an otherwise good unit

I got rid of a double oven and looking for a single under counter one now, electric. Seeing some with air fryers, the Mrs said she kind of wants that

Thanks
 
We have two GE Profiles with air fryers. Yes you need to use the stupid ass wifi app to operate the air fry. Also you will need the air fry baskets as trying to air fry them in a pan obviously doesnt work with a **** as the air cant circulate. It does work well and gives you crispy stuff.

you got two units side by side? well thats damn cool. Big family, or ?

So do you control the airfry through wifi, or thats just needed for it to work but actuslly used through the keypad?

Yes two units side by side. Was cheaper to do this than go with a larger 48"-60" unit by a long shot. We like to entertain and I like to cook meals that use multiple pans as the same time to cooking space is required. Notice I have the two large pans on separate stoves, that keeps them centered over the burner. The front left burner on this and many other units is a super high heat boiling burner and its either too hot or too low to cook a lot of stuff so the second unit gives me room. That and I can cook my tortillas on the griddle now while doing everything else. I've used my 36" Blackstone once since getting this setup... Its also ***s for cooking frozen pizzas, no more soft bottoms or un cooked tops when doing multiples, just split them between the ovens and cook on multi rack. We can do a turkey in one and scaloped potatoes and stuffing in the other, or the turkey on the smoker and all the sides inside. Tons of options with two full size ovens.

You can control air fry through both, but for whatever reason it requires the app to be downloaded and connected to use the feature even on the keypad. Theres a few app only cooking options like Convection Bake Multi that are useful as well.
 
I think that oven should work with a Google Nest Hub. I use the Google Nest so I don't get grease on the touch screen. IIMHO: Their phone app sort of sucks.

I have the Cafe double oven with the Wifi bull ****. The built in microwave was replaced with a small table top unit that sits out of the way on a small shelf. <$100

I have the same oven and wasn't too impressed with the air fryer feature. I never use it

I have a very similar range with the air fryer but not wifi. Never used the fryer feature. Barely used the oven....mostly recently when I started baking bread.

Seems like the mess it would make "frying" in the oven, it makes way more sense to contain that to a counter top fryer.


And wifi on an oven is ****ing ******ed. Especially if you can't use a main feature without it. I can't wait until ~10 years down the road when manufacturers decide to stop supporting the apps or backend services that run these things and people are stuck with bricked ovens, washers and refrigerators. :shaking:
Kind of like how Belkin just decided to discontinue support for Wemo devices - completely shut down the app and cloud service that ran them. I only had a few outlets, and they're apparently still working locally, I just can't get in them to make any changes or connect them to a new network if anything ever changed with my wifi....but there are people that had their whole houses set up with their switches that are now basically useless. People are absolute pissed and I think some are pursuing a class action suite.

100% agree wifi appliances are ****ing ******ed. Unfortunately its built in to 99% of them now.
 
I just bought an LG. It has some Wi-Fi bull****, but all the functions are available on the oven itself. The Wi-Fi is really only for remote starting it, or setting timers that will give you notifications on your phone.
I haven't even setup the Wi-Fi and never plan to.

The "convention" oven works great for pizzas, but that's the only thing I've used it for since I bought it. Wife says it's good at baking bread.
 
is GE the brand to get? whirlpool? lg?
I think GE is pretty solid. Whirlpool is also good. I really hate all the WIFI and touch screen digital crap; would love to have old school knobs and dials. But my 18mo/old GE oven has been rock solid. The oven has a fan to cool the electronics. I crank it up to 550 at times for steaks and prime rib.

IMHO: Stay away from Wolf and Viking!
 
Here, let me Google that for you...

yeah, nowhere does it mention a fan
it's all about density gradients and ****

therefore ovens with fans in them are not convection ovens, they are forced draft ovens and ovens without fans in them are convection ovens
I will now die on this hill
 
isn't convection currents the temperature difference in the juice causing the stirring
And the fan forces the flow so that's it's faster than just the hot wire radiant heat.

Radiant heat convects until it reaches stasis temp, instead of the fan forcing the convection cycle without trying to get everything to stasis

Well...damn, I didn't read the whole thread :laughing:

You are clearly not on the up and up for marketing whizz bangs.

Watch what happens to the sales man when you ask if the oven is side, up or down draft :laughing: confusion will ensue.

I had a thought fall out of my head talking to a gal about paint "it's like a color from a scion, the little Toyota affiliated car company"

She says "no cyan is more of a green"

Ah, nevermind, sorry that wasn't supposed to be out loud.







That's how a sales call will go. "Yes [486] is looking for a forced side draft oven" .....uh, all we sell are gas and electric, apple or android compatible?

:rasta:

Convection is the transfer of heat through the physical movement of fluids (liquids or gases), where warmer, less-dense material rises and cooler, denser material sinks.




So are you of the mindset the physical movement is through non-mechanical methods?
 
Yes.
watch smoke rise from a fire or steam from a pot or any other thing you've doubtless seen
Okay. You're wrong and can continue to be wrong so an oven description upsets you. Physical movement involves mechanical methods regardless of what your opinion is. Have a better day. 😃

The whole principle of convection is that it is natural and does not require mechanical methods to be applied.

Unless you are saying the physical transfer of energy counts as mechanical, but that's silly
 
well this is complicated.

so conventional oven isnt a convection oven and different than air fryer

is conventional or convection the way to go for oven?
 

hiws a used one of these? miele supposed to be top ****, guess it was like 5k new. guy asking 450

My combo wall mounted microwave oven the oven took a **** recently. A new unit is around $1800 to start. We had the local appliance repair guy come out and fix it. I asked him what brand was best to buy and most reliable. His answer was, they're all **** from the cheapest one to the most expensive. Just get whatever has the features your want and the best deal you can find on that model.
