Stoves are pricey at Home Depot unless it's a regular price that's deeply discounted from time to time.

For some reason, RCA and a few other brands aren't eligible for Home Depot's swap-out service and haul-away, only delivery.

You can pick up Frigidaire's rear-control induction stove with multiple convection oven modes like Air Fry, No Preheat, Air Sous Vide and a temperature probe for less.

Yes Chet, easy to clean the knobs, but not even a steam clean oven cycle. I wouldn't trade my 2007 GE Profile dual fuel for one. Controls under glass. Only drawback is if water from a pot on a front burner drips on it, it sometimes will clear off. Only higher end ranges today have controls under glass. Thermador, Wolf, Five star, etc.
 
The market for 24" wall ovens here in the US has been a replacement market for years, which is why they're generally lower or at best middle range models. Anyone doing a new house or kitchen will spec a 30" unit, with the possible exception of a small high-end condo where space is at a premium. Even 27" ovens are getting harder to find, which is too bad as that is a useful size.
 
24-in with oven is a joke for a wall oven
I have a double 24" wall oven (my third wall oven counting the one originally there when the house was built in 1967).
I find it plenty big enough for my purposes.
Between the two ovens, there are five racks.
I've never had an issue with any pans or dishes not fitting in it.
No joke!😜

I respect your point of view. There are people who love their self clean oven. Personally I haven't used the self clean cycle in over 10 years. I find that it dulls the oven's interior, is hard on the oven, and uses lots of energy. For me keeping clean through aluminum foil, covering and keeping splatter to a minimum in addition to wiping up spills afterwards helps keep the oven interior clean. An oven without a self clean cycle is something that I can live with.


If I had a say in preference I would like to so the RCA control system migrate 27, 30 inch and full size range ovens. Buttons and touch pad displays are to complex and confusing for me. The settings divided across 3 knobs in secession are a usability blessing for me.
 
Ok, a bit of an update from my research. After coming across a thread on reddit of a similar Dalxo model like this RCA oven and an Empava model on Ebay, it seems like the internals are 100% analog with no electronics. There appear to be two high limits on each side of the incoming mains, an adjustable probe thermostat, a mechanical winding timer with bell like a toaster oven, a function selector switch, a thermostatically activated internal cooling fan, an inner and outter coil broil element, a bottom bake element, a convection element, a convection fan and in incandescent cavity light. The selector switch simply activates each of the elements and fan in various combinations to achieve the listed functions.

In some way yes this looks like a glorified toaster oven, in other ways it is a start to a nice conceptual of not having any electronics. I love the simplicity, design and safety of the control system and would not mind having such beefed up and stretched to a larger model. Of note the OP complains that his oven never stops heating, I am guessing because of the two brown wires being mixed up at the selector switch however with better quality control and testing that is something that would not happen in a refined version of production. This concept has potential and is worth improving in my opinion.

Question is what country of assembly? Likely Chinese parts. To me, it's another off brand like Cosmo, Hisense, etc.


The sticker for the Dalox oven says made in China as are the other off brands. Design seems like a combination of IEC and Chinese standards with good but not great quality control mixed in. An American manufacturer could and would produce the next Maytag Dependable Care of wall ovens if they took and improved on the concept.

I wish I could get a hold of one of these ovens and try them out.
