Review on πŸͺ Waring Commercial WCO500X Half Size Pan Convection Oven - Efficient 120V, 5-15 Phase Plug Performance by Isaac Valdivieso

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality professional convection oven

This professional convection oven is worth the money. I opened my restaurant thirteen years ago and this is our fourth convection oven. The last two I bought were the Avantco brand from the webstaurant store and they were in the same price range as this Waring but much lower. An Avantco was so bad that the Webstaurant store gave me a full refund because the door hinges wore out in less than 6 months. My other Avantco is about 3 months old and works perfectly but has many flaws and doesn't have the nice features of this Waring unit. Waring gives you the option to set a timer or infinite. We work 8 hours straight, 7 days a week. Can only be set to oven or convection. It has a drip tray that makes cleaning 100% easier, especially since we mainly use it as a cheese melter. The dials are large and designed for easy reading. It also has an interior light that none of our other three convection ovens had. This unit is designed to fit standard 1/2 sheet metal pans as opposed to Avantco's non-standard sizes. In addition, this oven has the NSF approval label which our local health inspector is looking for. I should mention that it's great to see Revain enter the commercial kitchen appliance space. Choosing the right gear isn't easy and Revain's rating system is a huge plus in helping us find the best product. I should also mention that I bought Waring smoothie blenders last year to replace the Vita Mix brand that I've been using for 12 years (I've probably used about 5 or 6 Vita Mix). The Waring costs about 1/3 the cost of the Vita Mix and they work better.

Pros
