After reading this forum, we narrowed down our 30" double oven search within our price range to Electrolux, KitchenAid and Bosch. My wife prefers the KitchenAid due to the looks and the large oven cavity (getting our pizza stone in the Electrolux was a tight fit, even though I know GardenWeb members are partial to Electrolux). Consumer Reports rates the KitchenAid highly, appliance store guy says he sells a bunch and never hears complaints, but I can't seem to find any raves on this forum about the ovens.

Specifically, we're looking at: KEBS207BSS

Before we pull the trigger, I'm just wondering whether anyone has a recent model and has no problems with the following issues, which seem to afflict the KitchenAid

1) Fan Noise
2) Slow Preheating
3) Overall performance

Obviously I don't want to shell out $3,000 for an oven that takes 45 minutes to preheat! Or have a fan that drowns out all conversations in the kitchen! Is it really that bad? If so, how could it be such a popular oven?

Thanks to everyone for any input. It's greatly appreciated!
