I wanted to love it, but it did not love me back., August 11, 2009

If you want a real counter top oven do not waste your money on a microwave, for healthy cooking, baking and eating a convection is the best.

This oven is everything I have been looking for; great capacity, convection, stainless steel interior, excellent price and good looks. It bakes, and browns and roasts, and broils. It is easy to use.

I just cannot get a properly made one, the oven seal fell off the first one and one of the racks was broken. So i sent it back for a replacement. Got the replacement and the convection fan is much loader than the first, sounds ready to break, the oven seal falls off again and the door is not flush, you can see the hot air leaks.

Back she goes, again.

....also Amazon informs me that they have heard of problems with this model and will not be replacing it a third time. So there you have it.

If you can get a good one (I still cannot vouch for its longevity); you may luck up.

The previous rating of 2 was much too kind. We kept our oven rather than returning it. Yesterday it caught on fire and filled the house with smoke. It was 19 months old.

Front Door Seal, March 9, 2010

This review is from: Waring CO900B Professional 8/9-Cubic-Foot Convection Oven (Kitchen)

I purchased this oven to off-load our main oven of the smaller cooking tasks. The oven does work well, but the door seal has failed 4 times since I purchased it in November of 2009. I've made complaints to Waring about this issue. Each time they sent me two different seals, one too large and one that fits snugly. And, every time after about a week of light usage, the seal falls apart.

Now that I've been dealing with Waring over this on-going issue, my window for return at Amazon has expired and I am left with an unusable boat anchor sitting on my counter. Because of this I cannot recommend anyone purchase this oven. This makes me suspicious of other Waring products as well.

Some thoughts from a not too happy customer.
