A:Answer YES, not only is it noisy, but the temperature is horrible to control. It takes 20 min to preheat to 400 and then when I open the door to insert the food, the element turns back on and stays on so long that it burns the food. I actually bought another oven and installed it on my patio (an outdoor kitchen?). My previous oven was a GE which lasted 35 years with no problems. Good Luck with this lemon!
