This stove is a slide-in model, which means there is no back panel like you'd see on freestanding ovens. This design feature means there's nothing to block the view if you want to show off your backsplash.

Some of the oven's cooking modes include convection bake and convection roast, which use two built-in fans in the oven cavity to circulate air for more even baking.

The oven's capacity is 4.6 cubic feet, which is kind of small compared with other ovens.

Like other stoves in the $2,000-and-up price range, the EI30EF45QS comes in a stainless-steel finish.

The touchpad controls are easy to hit accidentally if you lean too far over the oven.

This illustration shows the average time it took to broil six hamburger patties in the EI30EF45QS. The burgers located in the front corners cooked the fastest, which shows us the hottest points of the broiler.
