Moderately high end. When I renovated my kitchen ~18 years ago, I wanted
a convection oven and this was the first European style oven that was
30" wide to appear in this neck of the woods. In those days US makes
were coming out with *******ised versions with a fan to circulate the
air but the heat supplied by that stupid, exposed bottom element. I
bought it on the name. Big mistake! In convection mode the temperature
remains within a degree of the setting. In roast mode it swings +/-
50F!!!!!!
It's noisy too.
I have a Bosch dishwasher that became very noisy just after the warranty
expired, although it still cleans well. A Bosch rep told me that they
build them to have a 10year lifespan (Miele is 20yrs).
