LG LRG4115ST vs Electrolux EI30EF45QS

While most ovens have a heating element at the bottom, this oven has a heating element mounted at the rear that works together with a fan for true convection. This eliminates burnt bottoms when baking biscuits or cookies. Also, the convection allows you to cook meat with excellent results.

This is one of the largest single-oven consumer level ranges you can buy. It has a massive 6.3 cu.ft oven capacity and allows you to use three racks at once.

This range’s cooktop is large and versatile, with four burners of different sizes and heating capabilities. There is an oval burner in the middle that can be used with the included griddle or other types of long cookware.

The oven will let you know when it has reached the designated preheat setting, so you can place the food inside at the right moment and minimize energy waste.

This range has a timer that allows you to preset a time for cooking, so you can, for example, have hot food when you arrive home. You can also use it to schedule the self-cleaning modes.

The cooktop has an oval burner where an included griddle can be attached. It works well for cooking things like pancakes, eggs, or bacon.

The front right burner can quickly produce lots of heat, which is great for boiling water in almost no time at all.

Thanks to the continuous cast iron grates, it is very easy to move heavy cookware around the cooktop.

Since the broiler is not very hot or powerful, broiling doesn’t produce as much smoke as with some other ranges.

You can keep your already-cooked food warm while rest of the food finishes cooking.

The control panel’s display is clear and easy to understand. The responsiveness is also quite good.

The burner knobs are angled towards the user, making it easier to access them.

The range has two cleaning modes. Steam cleaning is meant for gentle cleaning that makes it easier to remove grease from the cavity. Pyrolytic cleaning, on the other hand, burns off tough stains, but this takes more time and is harsher to the oven.

Thanks to the efficient heating element and the well-insulated cavity, the oven preheats very quickly. It only takes about 8 minutes to reach 350 ºF, which is faster than other large ovens that usually need more than 10 minutes to reach the same temperature.

The range resembles a top of the line slide-in unit, but it doesn’t need to have an additional countertop behind the range. Its high-quality stainless steel body looks truly elegant.

When in double convection mode, the oven performs very well, since the heat is dissipated evenly throughout the oven.

The cooktop consists of 4 burners and a warming zone. The two back burners deliver medium power, being perfectly suitable for simmering or keeping the food warm. The front burners, on the other hand, can be set to either provide a significant amount of heat or keeping a relatively low temperature of 180 ºF. The right tri-ring burner is very versatile, supporting three different cookware sizes: 6", 9" and 12".

Since this is a top of the line Electrolux appliance, it comes with the company’s Platinum Star warranty. It grants you an additional three-year warranty for parts and a five-year warranty for the cooktop.

A standout feature for the oven is its very accurate wireless temperature probe. You can wirelessly monitor the food temperature while it cooks.
