Clearly, every aspect of that ad was conceptualized and tailored exclusively for readers of Playboy. There is no way that it could have appeared in any other magazine except perhaps Penthouse.

That's a good point Dan
24" wide wall ovens are no longer standard. It's 27" and 30" wide now.
Also, this item above looks unusually tall for a built-in. After all it is 3 ovens stacked. Most cabinets made for built-in wall ovens can be adjusted but not by as much as the picture above shows.

I agree with you Ralph
"...exclusively for readers of Playboy"
It doesn't look like an ad one would see in Redbook, Ladies Home Journal, or TV Guide.

Actually I don't think it's much taller than a standard double oven; the configuration gives it the illusion of height.
As for oven cabinets, most lines have versions either with no bottom drawer (blank panel), or shorter doors at the top. Any of the better manufacturers make them to specifications, and have lots of modifications that can be made. For example, I have a download of the Fieldstone Cabinetry Specification Guide, and it has over 700 pages. So getting a cabinet to acomodate it wouldn't be a problem.

Hey Bradfordwhite!
Then why do all the major US maker STILL offer 24" ovens? Can you explain that?

24" Wall Ovens Are Still Very Much In Vogue
In fact its about all that is sold in much of the world.
24" models are more energy efficient and pre-heat faster as well.

As replacements. People remodeling or building new would most likely want something with features like a rotisserie and air fry features. Plus a certain "look".
GE does offer 24" but they are nothing special. They all have the same bland plastic looking control panel.
Frigidaire only offers 1 single door oven in 2 colors.
Whirlpool offers 1 model in 2 colors.
Jennaire offers 2 single door models in 2 diff colors. One is a specialty steam oven for $3K more likely intended for undercounter.
And the outrageous prices.... OMG!

"24" models are more energy efficient and pre-heat faster as well."
I agree with you 100% there.
However "vogue" .... not so much. Not in the U.S. market and that's what we're focusing on here.
I didn't organize the manufacturers priorities.
If you want an oven with a custom look and more features you'll be looking at a 27" or a 30". That's where the manufacturer's put all their attention.

Hi Brad, how many ovens did you find with rotisseries ?, Air fry is just relabeled convection.
I agree that new ovens don't offer much, none self-clean well, non offer microwave cooking along with full heat and broil and all use more energy than ovens built 20 or more years ago.
I am keeping my 24" double Thermador-Convection Micro-Thermal ovens, I use them almost every day in the micro thermal convection mode, and if something awful happens to this one I have a spare one stashed away.

My aunt had a 70s Thermador double oven. I thought as a kid it was so cool that the ovens vented to the outside. She had a Frigidaire early smooth cooktop with Tradewind hood, and a Kitchenaid Hobart dishwasher and trash compactor. She remodeled the kitchen several years ago and I don't know what the appliances were replaced with. I know she still has the same hood.
Another thing that to me that I liked about Thermador was the distinctive pattern in the interior oven porcelain. I remember seeing that pattern in the ovens on Julia Child's cooking show.
