Whirlpool - 30" Built-In Single Electric Convection Wall Oven - Black

I just purchased this oven and installed it. Today I tried to use the delayed start so it would be preheated when I returned from work. There is a limit of a 9 hour delay that is NOT specified on the web site or in the user manual. I even contacted Whirlpool directly to find out what the maximum delay could be and they couldn't find the information. I then wanted to return it and Best Buy wants a 15% restocking fee. The delayed start is useless if you are trying to set it before going to work. Yet the consumer will be left holding the bag for a restocking fee. Also, the delayed start is confusing. Say it is 2:46 and you want it to start at 5:15. You don't tell it start at 5:15, you have to figure out that you want it to start 2 hours and 29 min from now. Poor human interface. Bad specification definition. And terrible that the consumer is stuck with the restocking fee.

Poor User Interface. The delayed start is limited to 9 hours so trying to program it so it is warm for cooking when I get home for work won't work (or else I need it preheat for hours before I get home). Pre-heat takes almost a half hour, Opening the oven causes it to cool and again it takes time to reheat. The display shows the programmed temperature and not where the oven temperature actually is. I tried to contact Whirlpool - 4 chats and 2 calls. No one knew anything and gave conflicting information. Thought about returning the unit except Best Buy wanted a restocking fee that would run several hundred dollars. I tried to elevate my displeasure but got blown off.

We bought this oven to replace a 25 year old Whirlpool oven that was still working fine but we wanted a second convection oven and the old black one didn't match our new stainless steel appliances. The oven looks great and the size is very spacious compared to our GE Profile range. The oven works very well, cooked our Thanksgiving turkey almost 30 minuted faster than the GE and it came out perfect. The fan does run for a short while but that is normal for a convection oven.

It is early, but I like everything so far about the oven. Installation into an existing cabinet was routine. I will need to order trim for a small gap in the cabinet. Broiling and baking seem to be working great. Warm up and cool down times seem right. An improvement over the older Whirlpool that came with the house. Nice looking. Fan noise is comparable to or less than the previous oven. Has a variable fan noise, no whistling. No problem.

Fan makes a loud sound while heating up or otherwise on high, like its scraping on the side. Probably need to get that fixed under warranty. Otherwise, this oven works well and looks great. I took up more space under our counter than our old GE so we had to move the gas line and electric outlet adding significantly to the install cost. However, the installers indicated that most/all modern ovens would have this issue.

We replaced our 10 year May Tag elec.oven (that never really worked that great) with this one... I love this oven, it is so great to have an oven that pre-heats very fast, cooks even and fast and the fan we found not to be a problem..as I have read on other reviews that it was loud, compared to our old oven this one is extremely quiet. I can not wait to cook more.. Thank you Whirlpool

I knew after the first time I used this oven that the fan noise would drive me crazy. The fan runs constantly (not just in convection mode) and continues to run after the oven is turned off as the unit cools down. How loud is loud? Well, when you are talking on the phone and are asked 'what's that noise?' by the person on the other end--- that should give you an indication. Had the oven pulled out and replaced with a different brand.

16 yr old oven was flood damaged by Harvey. Chose this model based on ratings, size, convection design, and best price & delivery by B.B, to complement over the range microwave from Whirlpool Gold. Easy self installation, set-up and operation. It’s been used to baked variety of food with good results for 3 weeks and no issues. Recommnend buying extended warranty from Whirlpool online.
