9 Solid Reasons To Avoid Microwave

Fisher & Paykel


Performance
Broiling functionality comes in at 3,000W on Fisher & Paykel's 24" wall oven and is bumped up to
An impressive 4,400W on their 30" ovens. Here is some of the higher amounts We've come
Across and means that these products pack some significant heating punch. On the 24" model

Their Aerotech cooking system. This trademarked system is advertised as being able to provide
Even heat distribution throughout the whole oven cavity that helps to ensure to get a more consistent
Cook across the whole item. Beyond this, there are plenty of cooking styles that further help to
Ensure optimal cooking performance.
Capabilities from the smaller (and cheaper) 24" models, if you update to the larger model you will get
To enjoy modes like Aero Bake/Broil/Pastry, Maxi Broil, Classic Bake, and more.
Features
The Majority of the features you expect to see are present and there are also a couple that help the Fisher &
Paykel wall ovens to stick out from competition. Standard in all units are things such as an
Advanced cooling system that reduces how long the oven stays warm after cooking, self-cleaning,
In the bigger model, you get to enjoy all
Of the Aerotech modes mentioned above as well as things like a catalytic venting system,
Control panel key lock, audio feedback, CoolTouch door, multi-piece broil system, meat probe, and
more.
Item Selection
Product choices are a little limited, with you just actually getting to choose from 6. There's a separate
Warming tray which you could buy but we doubt anybody would buy only this and jump out on the
wall oven. For the wall ovens that are available, you have the choice of two doubles of different
Colors and 4 sisters of 2 unique colors. All but one example come in the 30" model with the only real
Exception coming from the much smaller 24" example. All These products are the traditional
Electronic wall ovens that we're accustomed to dealing with so individuals who want to go for a steam or gasoline
Another big thing missing with these units is a combination wall mount that
Has a microwave.
Looks
Fisher & Paykel has managed to create a product that has some progressive cues but still sticks to
The origins of what a traditional wall oven looks like. The first thing you will notice is that they have
Decided to stay with mechanical turn knobs rather than going to buttons like many other premium
brands. Normally we're turned off by this but they are able to pull it off in a way that gives it
An almost classy look. Another thing you will quickly notice is that the layout of the buttons and
Digital readout are not in a normal configuration.
Knobs put on the far right side with the buttons in the center. We're used to seeing the screen
being more centered.
May be a bit turned off by it. The body of the oven comes in a very sleek black and brushed silver
Color they pull off quite well.
Durability

Similar in that there are a lot more electrical issues than you would hope for. The common theme
Revolves around there being issues with the self-cleaning functioning properly and the thermostat going
out. Also, there can be quite a bit of difficulty in getting an official Fisher & Paykel technician out to
Actually look at and repair your wall oven. This means that you might have to find a third party who
Can work on it and it is unsure if they will be as comfortable with the particulars.
Price
These units certainly aren't cheap and are firmly placed in the mid to upper price range. The only
Reason we even mention middle is because of their 24" model but seeing how a majority of their
Products include the 30" oven standard you should basically consider this a superior brand (not
To mention that the larger model is loaded with more features and all around a better product in our
opinion). However, for this high asking price, you do get to enjoy one of the most powerful heating
Elements in the industry as well as gobs and gobs of features and accessories.
Overall Rating
Fisher & Paykel wall ovens do a great job in several classes: their performance is awesome, their
Features are endless, and they have a refreshing look. But they do come with a rather high
Price tag, the product choices are somewhat limited, and they're cursed with the same durability
Issues that we see again and again with the more intricate wall ovens. When You Have someone
Who's familiar working on these goods in the case that there is an issue after a couple of years and
You especially want either a single or double wall oven and are ready to pay for the best then this
Isn't a terrible purchase.
