Why each brand scored what it did

BertazzoniIts colored ranges have no matching wall oven; the only non-stainless one is near-black.
6/10
Who makes it

5/10
Warranty

Two years parts and labor, stated on the oven page.

8/10
Repair

Its own North American service team, and it will let you use your own technician with live phone support during the repair.

9/10
Safety

No CPSC recall found. The Carbonio ovens are new models.

3/10
Owners

No reviews on either Carbonio oven at AJ Madison, and no owner discussion found. The brand scores 3.1 on Trustpilot from 431.

1/10
Color

Big ChillBuilt by BlueStar's maker, and sold only in color.
4/10
Who makes it

The oven's own manual carries '© Copyright 2019 Prizer-Painter Stoves Works', the maker of BlueStar. The product page says only 'Designed in Boulder, CO' and 'Assembled in the USA'.

2/10
Warranty

One year parts and labor from installation. Cosmetic damage must be reported within seven days, and removing the oven from where it was first installed voids the warranty.

2/10
Repair

No published service network for the brand. The oven manual makes you pay mileage beyond 50 miles one way from an authorized servicer.

8/10
Safety

No recall on this electric oven. Its maker's 2018 recall covered Big Chill ranges and BlueStar gas wall ovens, where the convection fan could ignite gas.

2/10
Owners

4.6 from 7 on its own site, and two of the seven are listed twice. One owner's oven shorted 30 minutes into its first burn-off. Not sold at big-box retailers.

10/10
Color

Seven standard, six premium (+$495) and 200+ RAL custom colors (+$795), with a $5 swatch. Sold only in color. No way to recolor it later was found.

7/10
Price

$4,495 for the 30 inch electric single, direct

4/10
Delivery

Built to order: 'Allow 3-5 weeks for production', plus one to three weeks transit. Custom color adds two weeks and $795.

9/10
Who makes it

Warranty

Two years parts and labor only if you register within 90 days, otherwise one. Paint 30 days. You pay past a 100-mile round trip.

5/10
Repair

An authorized servicer network with a locator, but no published coverage promise and a 100-mile service limit.

4/10
Safety

Two recalls on its gas wall ovens: about 940 in 2013 for fire risk after one fire, and 2018, when the convection fan could ignite gas. The electric ovens were never recalled.

2/10
Owners

2.6 from 5 on the 24 inch gas oven, all 11 to 17 years old, citing a gas leak and fumes. The electric ovens have no reviews. A BBB owner: two wall ovens not holding temperature.

9/10
Color

750 to 1,000+ colors and custom color matching, plus six trims. But color adds $1,495, $2,495 for specialty or $3,895 for a custom match, and takes 6 to 8 weeks.

5/10
Warranty

Two years in-house on Forno's brand site. An oven-specific term was not found.

GE CaféMatte white or black from a mainstream maker, with handles you can change later.
7/10
Who makes it

GE Appliances, a Haier company. The page says 'Produced In Our American Manufacturing Plants' but not which plant. The color is a matte front with a separate handle.

3/10
Warranty

One year parts and labor on the entire appliance, nothing longer.

6/10
Repair

Service through Café Authorized Servicers, booked online. Best Buy owners describe a month waiting for a repair visit and a $114 service charge at 13 months.

9/10
Safety

No recall on a Café wall oven. GE's 2008 wall oven recall predates the Café brand and covered GE, Profile, Monogram and Kenmore ovens.

7/10
Owners

4.6 from 31 at Best Buy, 94% recommend, and 4.4 from 193 syndicated from Café's site. Complaints: an oven that broke after five days, another not heating at 13 months.

ILVEOn pre-order, shipping from late November 2026.
8/10
Who makes it

ILVE's own oven, 'handcrafted in Italy'. It sells 'six signature body colors' but does not say whether the whole cabinet or only the front is colored.

5/10
Warranty

Two years parts and labor, from the oven's own spec sheet.

2/10
Repair

Its US distributor went bankrupt in February 2024, and buyers report ILVE unable to find a technician. This oven is new, so it has no service history yet.

9/10
Safety

No recall found, but the oven is new and still on pre-order, so there is no record yet.

3/10
Owners

No reviews anywhere: it is on pre-order. ILVE's brand record is a BBB D+ with 27 complaints.

6/10
Color

Five colors plus stainless, and three trims, all at the stainless price. The Emerald, Midnight Blue, Glossy Black and RAL colors sold on its ranges are not offered on the oven.

Who makes it

Samsung's own oven. Where it is made was not researched for this table.

3/10
Warranty

Not researched in this pass.

5/10
Repair

Not researched for the wall oven. For its fridges Samsung puts a national in-home service network in writing; whether ovens get the same was not checked.

Safety

No Samsung wall oven recall found in the CPSC list.

6/10

SmegSmeg's retro colors stop at ranges and hoods; its only colored wall oven is dark grey glass.
8/10
Who makes it

Smeg's own oven, 'Designed and produced in Italy'. The color is a full-glass door front, not a painted body.

5/10
Warranty

Smeg's full two-year warranty, the same terms as its ranges.

3/10
Repair

The dealer first, then one outside firm, ADCO. A reviewer: ten local repair companies refused because they will not work on European closed-system appliances.

9/10
Safety

No wall oven recall found. Smeg's one recent US recall was about 900 fridges in 2024 whose doors could come off.

3/10
Owners

No reviews at all on these ovens at AJ Madison, and no owner discussion found. The brand scores 1.3 on Trustpilot from 243 reviews.

1/10
Color

One color: Neptune Grey, a dark grey glass front. No retro or pastel Smeg wall oven is sold in the US, and no custom colors. It costs the same as stainless.

VikingAmerican-built, and color adds $1,500 to the price.
8/10
Who makes it

Built in Greenwood, Mississippi. Its owner, Composition Brands, also owns AGA and has been 51% owned by 26North since February 2026. How the color is applied is not stated.

5/10
Warranty

Two years, per the AJ Madison listing and Viking's brand warranty.

5/10
Repair

Authorized third-party servicers by zip code, plus its own showrooms. One oven owner says the installers were unprepared and had to borrow tools.

6/10
Safety

ZLINEA white matte door on a stainless oven; the recall covered earlier models, not these.
5/10
Who makes it

Origin here comes from the CPSC record for its earlier wall ovens: 'Manufactured In: China'. The product title is clear the color is a white matte door on a stainless oven.

2/10
Warranty

One year parts and service, shorter than ZLINE's own hood warranty.

4/10
Repair

The largest service operation of the small brands, but owners describe weeks to schedule. An oven owner: ZLINE sells only the full door, not the hinge, and repairs cost $1,300.

6/10
Safety

About 5,000 earlier wall ovens recalled in 2024: the door hinge could release its spring. 95 reports, one minor injury. The current white matte models are not covered.

5/10
Owners

4.6 from 77 at Home Depot, 96% recommend, but pooled with stainless and ZLINE's own site. The low reviews repeat: hinges failing, doors not sealing, uneven temperature.

2/10
Color

One color: a white matte door, with four handle finishes, $85 to $270 over stainless. Black stainless too. No blue, red or custom color.

9/10

There is deliberately no overall score. The trade-off is the point. A buyer choosing on looks weighs color and price; a buyer who cooks every day weighs the warranty and who turns up when it breaks. One number would hide exactly what this table exists to show.

A brand we do not sell can win a column, and several do. The scores come from the same sources whether we sell the brand or not.

What the review scores mean. A retailer star rating measures the product on the day it arrives. A Better Business Bureau record or a Trustpilot score measures what happens when it breaks in year one. Where the two disagree sharply, the gap is the finding.

Sources. Manufacturer warranty documents and FAQ pages; US Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notices; US Customs import records; Trustpilot, Better Business Bureau, Home Depot, Lowe's and Best Buy review records; Reddit and Houzz owner threads. Read September 2026.
