Avantco CO-14 Quarter Size Countertop Convection Oven, 0.8 Cu. Ft. - 120V, 1440W

This is the most amazing countertop oven I've ever purchased. It is definitely commercial. It bakes much faster than my regular household oven which I have in my business. It Cooks like the big $5,000 commercial ovens but is more compact I personally can fit 12 leg quarters in it at one time and they come out lovely. A must have for an economic chef

I searched for months to find an affordable but heavy duty half-size convection oven. The home models were too flimsy or small, and most commercial models were way out of my price range. The Advantco was exactly what I was looking for. It runs on normal household current, but is still plenty powerful. It is all stainless construction and comes with four baking racks. The oven fan is quite powerful. You really need to be careful about opening it while it’s running, because you will be blasted with hot air. I did notice, as other reviewers have commented, that it has a hot spot, and you really should rotate the food half way through the cooking process. One unusual design is where the heating element is located. I would have expected the element to be at the top and/or bottom of the oven, but it coils around the convection fan in the rear. My single biggest complaint is that it has no oven light. I have to keep a portable clip on light handy to hook onto the oven handle in order to clearly see inside while the food is cooking. I sure wish Advantco would consider putting in an oven light – it would make this countertop convection oven near-perfect. Cleaning involves taking off the for screws that old the housing around the fan and two screws on the sides that old the chrome rails that the baking racks fit into. Then you have complete access to the interior. I’ve done one thorough cleaning since I owned it, and it came out looking like it was brand new.

So far so good, this oven actually does a good job when we bake our signature pay de queso a leaves it nice and golden brown.

Worked great for 13.5 months (with the 1 year warranty! Isn't that always the way!) before emitting a loud HUUUUUMMMMMM from the blower motor. You get what you pay for!

Works great so far, I use this to cook baked Mac n cheese throughout the day. Cooks evenly and the timer is great when you are busy..no problems so far. Best part it’s 120 volt..

Amazing little ovens that keep warm even with constant opening and closing. Size is perfect for our little kitchen, fits on top of counter or on shelves. Easy to use and fits more food inside than you would think.

This oven is great. We bake all of our pastries at our coffee shop: scones, loaves, muffins, cookies, brownies, all kinds of baked goods. We also use it to cook off chicken and bacon for our salads. The items are best rotated, like most convection ovens, to prevent browner spots or lopsided muffins from the fan blowing, but with a turn or two mid bake the items come out lovely! I don’t always use a timer, but with the recipes I’ve used with times on them it is fairly accurate for completion on a cook/bake.

Good professional quality as expected. Always great service and products from these guys. I can always rely on the great shipping options and friendly customer service.

I have a small boutique pie shop. I use this oven to bake our pies. It seems the back, right portion of this oven is hotter than the rest as my pies on that side tend to burn. So I have to regularly rotate my pies during the cooking process to prevent them from burning. Other than that glitch this oven bakes my pies very well. Flakey crust cooked all the way through and much quicker than our regular electric oven. I would buy another one if I needed it - I really like it. I recommend it for a small bakery/shop environment on a limited budget.

This oven has its quirks! I know they say every oven is a learning experience, so let me share what I've learned. The hot spot is the back right-hand side of the oven. If you bake with more than 2 trays, the temperature will drop too much to keep a consistent bake, so you will have to add time to all of your items. You will have to rotate SOME items, not all. Anything in rows. Surprisingly enough, I have baked cakes and cookies at the same time, and I found that the cakes do not need to be turned at all. They bake really evenly thanks to the circular shape. From time to time, this oven rattles. It is not completely stable inside. Make sure your trays are not directly touching the back of the oven, and be sure to clean it frequently!!!!! Also, take good care of the seal. Mine seemed to be a little worn on day one, and I kick myself for not speaking up about it. The seal on the oven door must be watched closely. I would recommend this oven for very light use. If you are starting a small business, this is not the right oven for you.

I have had no issues with this countertop oven. It puts off very little heat, which is great in the small space we have it in. Like any oven, it does have some hot spots, so I rotate my sheets halfway through. I have had no complaints and am contemplating purchasing a second one!

Purchased this oven for our mold manufacturing company and it works great. Tons of room inside the oven for running prototypes. Heat is pretty consistent as well. Highly recommend for anyone that wants a tabletop solution that's still spacious enough for larger capacity items.

I have been using this oven daily to bake Focaccia bread and toast sandwiches for my small café. It works wonderfully so far, I have no complaints!

I love the size of this oven. It worked very well for about a year and a half, only using it for a few hours a day. After 1.5 years the motor went out. Spend the extra money and upgrade.

Love these ovens! We own 3 of them. 2 of them weve had for about 4 years. Had to replace the fan motors in 2 of them, but we do bake 250 to 300 biscuits a day in them.

For several months, I have been researching countertop convection ovens, and have seen how expensive they can be. I originally thought about purchasing This half size Avantco 120v, but hesitated based on reviews and my own opinion about wanting an oven with an interior light feature. I bit the bullet since I didn’t have 2k to cough up on my dream oven... I purchased the Avantco CO-16 half size countertop convection oven, and boy was this a great buy! The oven itself is bigger than I had anticipated, it is also very quiet. I am learning how to use my new oven since I have never owned a convection and it is indeed a learning curve. When you first plug it in, insure that is has its OWN dedicated outlet, this is important in preventing the unit from overheating. The unit comes oiled or greased from the manufacturer so it will slightly smoke in the back ventilation system, this must occur in order for the unit to complete its first time usage cycles, the more you use it the quicker the unit adjusts itself to the temperatures that you need for your baking. I tested my unit 5 times back to back for 5 days. I plugged it in, placed my oven thermometer inside, put the temperature to 350, I noticed the unit heating up gradually,I noticed the slight smoke, assured my unit was 12inches away from my walls, noticed the temperature light shutting off when the unit reached my desired temperature. By days 3,4, and 5. Zero smoke from the oiled fans, and the unit reached temperature in about 3-5 minutes! This oven is quiet and absolutely a bargain for the price. I am still learning how to use my convection oven since the degrees on my internal oven thermometer read differently than my oven temperature control knob, an exact 50 degrees difference. This is normal for convections, although depending on the brand this may differ. Overall, I am loving this oven, it is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful addition to our kitchen. This is your sign to get yours, if you are patient and willing to learn how to use your oven and understand that all ovens are not made the same, then go ahead, for the price you really can't beat it, it is a great oven and we love ours. ??

We let this run almost all day 10am-8pm. Does a nice job for toasting sandwiches and light baking.
