Probably the wrong group to ask this question of. Though there may be
opinions and experiences here, you'd probably be better served in a group
that is about this kind of thing. Lord knows - you'll get a lot of opinions
here, but it's questionable how many of them are "practical".

Can't comment on F&P equipment; however, if you also
are considering a toaster oven, the Breville with quartz rod
heating elements is tough to beat.
At $249.00, it's Festool pricing, but have found it worth
every penny paid for it.

8 years of daily baking in both our single and doubles. No issues.
Burned out 3 others in the 3 years prior. My wife averages 12 dozen
cookies a day and 8 to 10 loaves of bread.

Is it convection? I've thought for some time about buying a large
sized toaster type over with convection capability, but I've been wary
of what convection cooking can do in such an oven.
Anybody here use such a beast? How useful is convection cooking in a
toaster type oven?

Doesn't that mean F&P gave them $20k worth of ovens in return for the
ATK morons hawking their wares?

I thought Electrolux was a sweeper? I'd go with Festool before Electrolux.
I bet bet fewer WW's know what a F&K is than what a Festool is. That's
saying something...

No info on the F&P but SWMBO likes the Electrolux a lot - enough that I'll
probably be buying another soon after she moves to the new place.

Electrolux is a sweeper, but the other Electrolux is a Swedish
appliance manufacturer. About 10 or so years ago, they bought out the
company that evolved into Frigidaire.
The original Frigidaire was a General Motors division that made good
appliances. It was sold off, but the name was worth quite a bit.
Westinghouse, White, Hotpoint, Crosly, Edison Products and a few
others became part of White Consolidated Industries but they changed
the name to Frigidaire after doing some market research. The name had
a good reputation and was associated with a quality product even
though they were cheapened over the years. AB Electrolux bought out
WCI in about the mid 90's or so.

You may get a better response posting this to a group like
rec.food.cooking
My impression of F & P is not good though, but never owned one.

Nope. It's an appliance manufacturer; one of the largest. Perhaps you've
heard of Frigidaire?
