Prizer-Painter BlueStar BWO24AGS 24-inch built-in gas oven

Date Published: 4/18/08

New for 2008, the BlueStar BWO24AGS gas wall oven is a 24-inch model unlike any other. Specifically designed for residential use, this oven is unsurpassed in commercial quality and style.

Compatible with both natural gas and propane, this model has a remarkably powerful 30,000-Btu burner and an equally impressive 15,000-Btu ceramic, infrared broiler. This combination will speed your cooking and give you restaurant-quality performance.

The door of this BlueStar oven is of a unique swing design that we can't help but like. Because of this design, you will need to take the swing into consideration as you plan your kitchen. Make sure the door swing allows room for loading and unloading the oven. You will also want to ensure that this style is convenient for use with your countertop layout and that it works efficiently with the traffic pattern of your kitchen.

Equipped with convection, this model offers an unusual heat-assist element that quickly heats the oven to the desired temperature -- then shuts down. Three solidly built, full extension racks also come with this oven, making it a convenient choice for easily getting even heavy roasts and birds in and out of the oven.

As you would expect for an oven that costs more than $2000, the BWO24AGS includes the bright, effective halogen lighting we favor. What it lacks, however, like a true commercial oven, is the convenience of a self-cleaning cycle, a clock and a timer.

An incredible product, this gas wall oven has an incredible price tag to match. Also offered in a double version and a whopping 190 colors, the BlueStar BWO24AGS is truly a special model for an inspired and selective cook.


Pros: Incredible quality, swing door, high intensity burner and broiler, halogen, 190 color choices, convection, 3 full-extension racks, elegant/simple controls
Cons: No self-cleaning, no clock, no timer
