Looking for a 24 inch electric wall oven preferably under $2,000

Submitted by patrick2099 t3_y32s57 in BuyItForLife

My electric wall oven that appeared to be at least 30 years old finally died and you can't even get replacement parts for it. The size of the cutout is 22.5 width, 26.5 height, 23.25 depth. It looks like there isn't much of a selection in this size range, and Lowes is telling me this is a special order item that cannot be returned if it doesn't fit or I don't like it. The brands that seemed to be in my price range were Cosmo, Fotile, Empava, Magic Chef, and Beko which I've never heard of or Sharp, which I have. The Sharp documentation says the depth is 24 inches, which may make it stick out a little extra.

There are multiple widths listed though:

Product dimension: 21 11/16" width (recessed), 23 7/16" width (overall)

Standard installation: Cutout width 22"

Flush installations: Cutout width 23 11/16"

I don't really know what the multiple types of measurements mean. There are no models in the store to measure myself and no one from Lowes is willing to tell me if these fit -- only that I can't return it if it doesn't. Does anyone know how to interpret whether this would fit or not or have any brand suggestions in general for electric wall ovens? I really didn't want to spend more than $2,000 for one of the better known brands, unless it's really worth it. Thanks everyone.

I went to a store that sells donation from contractors. I was able to buy a once trendy oven, but it had an attached microwave, so I had to hire someone to make it fit. That was 15 years ago and it's still going strong.

Otherwise I would have had to buy a custom unit, so it is not only hardy, but cost saving as well. These stores have a lot of new and lightly used merchandise.

It was also a wall oven, which was trending in the 60s and 70s.

I have a contractor that is going to build the cabinet up to make it fit, but if I get one that is too large, I will have a much bigger problem. I just don't understand the various sets of measurements listed in the product literature, and can't find one in person to measure myself.

Have barely looked into Miele, but as far as I can tell they’ve got some high quality products.
