2.0 out of 5 stars Workmanship leaves much to be desired, December 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Haier RTC1700SS Stainless-Steel Convection Oven (Kitchen)

The first time I tried this oven the heating elements would not get hot enough so I sent it back (it cost me 14.95 to have Haier send me another one). I just tried the new one and the door does not shut properly.To make a long story short, I wish I had never ordered this brand oven.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Appliance - Get yourself one, January 8, 2005

This review is from: Haier RTC1700SS Stainless-Steel Convection Oven (Kitchen)

My wife wanted a convection oven because she was sick of uneven baking in her old range oven. I agreed, but neither of us wanted to spend the big bucks for a new range with a convection oven.

She's a retired home economics teacher, so her demands are stringent. The oven we bought would have to replace the one in the old range. We settled on the 1700ss. It has as much real usable space as the old stove oven, since the standard 1/2 size cake pans hang edge-to-edge on the sides of the oven cavity. And it bakes perfectly evenly. As a bonus it uses only about half the

electricity. We haven't used the old oven in a year and a half, and the Haier is still like new.

Like anything else, the appliance will give you service commensurate with the care you give it. It is miles above the other little convection ovens offered in many stores, which are only a little over 1/3 this size and have a plain piece of glass for the door. This one has a solid double-wall construction throughout, including the door, all stainless steel, and I don't see anything cheap about it, if you look at it as a home appliance. Of course you could spend $1000 or more on a high-end commercial brand and it would be a little heavier, but for home use, with reasonable care, it is more than adequate.

We bought ours from Amazon with free shipping. The first one that arrived had a loose motor cooling fan. I could have fixed it, but Amazon wanted to send me a new one, which arrived a week later. It was perfect, and we couldn't be more satisfied, with Amazon and with Haier.

2.0 out of 5 stars More problems than pluses, October 9, 2005

I bought one and the plate that diffused the air was off center so it baked unevenly. I called and was told it was a defect and would do a warranty exchange. I was under the impression they would send it out but when I called, I was told I was supposed to send in $14.95 for shipping or I could give them a charge card and they would charge it again to ship out a new one and credit when I returned it. The new unit I received has had problems with the digital timer displaying the timer but rather than to have a short so rat her than do the return thing again I just used a manual timer. It baked a bit more evenly and was fast but still needed to rotate pans. I just recently had a power spike that took out all electronics plugged in, including the oven but I doubt I will reorder this product. Too unpredictible.
