I still don't see the big deal if a oven is not self cleaning.
As long as you don't let it too bad, it is 20 minutes tops for me to clean my oven.
If I owned my own home, I would pick up that beauty in a heart beat.

I would grab it!

I just can't live without self cleaning.
I wish somebody made self- cleaning/self-washing household ovens. Then it would be really awesome.

self-cleaning
I am like you, Thomas. I wouldn't buy a non-self cleaning oven.
Maybe because of getting in trouble for cleaning my mom's oven when I was young.
My family had a Tappan "Fabulous 500" which had the ovens on top (somewhat like Samantha's Frigidaire range in "Bewitched.) I thought I would help my mom out, surprise her and clean the ovens with a spray cleaner. I believe it was "Easy Off." It was caustic, like lye, and stunk things up.
I got the ovens nice and clean, but somehow I had gotten over-spray onto the control panel. (I was so short I was probably having to aim the spray can up to get it to go into the ovens) i didn't realize it and it sat there and the caustic material pitted the control panel. Not badly, or at least I didn't think it was that noticeable.
Well, my dad saw it and perceive the damage to be a lot worse than I did and unleashed a verbal tirade on me saying how the range had looked brand new and was now "ruined, simply ruined." There were some other comments I won't repeat, ha.
Last time I ever cleaned an oven by hand.

Very Nice Vintage GE Wall Oven
Thanks for posting Barry.
This is a rare model as most people were buying GEs great P-7 Self-Cleaning ovens by the time this model was being built. This oven would be very simple and reliable and would be good for light use if you don't mind cleaning it your self.
However the GE P-7 ovens were one of GEs greatest home major appliance innovations of the 1960s. The P-7 version of tis oven not only baked much better [ more even heat ] pre-heated faster and used 50% less energy, even the bake elements lasted far longer on the P7 ovens.
Make mine a true Self-Cleaning oven any day, Who has hours to try cleaning an oven by hand? with a SCO it takes less than 5 minutes to do a quick touch-up before cleaning before and about the same after the oven cools to wipe out any ash and oil the edges gf the racks.

P-7
That good information, John. I often wondered, with all the extra insulation, if the self-cleaning ovens had better performance.
My mom's first self-cleaning oven was a GE P7. She was thrilled to not have to clean the oven again. It was the model with the small oven over the burners and the large bottom oven that had the microwave, It was a 1974 model or there about. My mom, I think, loved the self-cleaning feature even as much, if not more than, the microwave feature.
I am like you, John. I would rather flip a lever and let the oven clean itself, and avoid the dangerous chemicals (the oven cleaners did not use enzymes back then, but brute force chemicals), and the awful mess.

agree with John....
Late '60s GE P-7 wall ovens were among the great baking devices ever, my folks had one in a house bought new in '68. In that regard we bought one some years ago, hardly used and in mint condition and with dual P-7 to install in our dream retirement home and we've stored it properly ever since. Now it looks like that house isn't going to happen, so we'd like to offer it to the AW.o community for what we paid for it, $75, in order to find it a good home. In Coppertone, one of the best colors ever, it needs a caring home. Please contact if of interest. Will post separately in SS as well.
