Purchasing Oven! Which brand?

deluxe

i got mine from jim wilmot at restaurant solutions in marietta ga

www.restaurantsolutionsinc.com

he gave me a better price by a long shot than the deluxe guy in bradenton fl

who offered a discount but was kinda pushy too--

he said, 'price won't last long'

phffft on that

this was about 6 years ago

i love my deluxe oven

call that guy and see if he is still in business--get a quote maybe

get a few quotes

you have to have an electrician anyhow to install

i got the three deck

it was exactly six years ago

4499 was list price for cr-2-3 at the time

2569 for the oven from restaurant solutions

39 to palletize

139 freight (ga to tn)

20 for liftgate

delivered to my drive way

we had to bring it in

2767 total

bradenton could not touch that price

then we had some more involved electric issues so it was $500 to do the wiring

so $800 for delivery & install & new electric wiring

but if your bakery spot has your commercial electric lines already in or going in--you are getting gouged because all it is is a plug that has to be 'installed'

i mean most restaurant supply places don't do certified electric wiring anyhow

the $500 we paid was to wire the building

all the oven needs is the plug (they come without any electrical cord atttached)

haggle is a great idea

find another supplier sounds reasonable too

but i mean i don't know all the facts or anything but have fun

love to buy equipment!!!!

it's heavy and wonky but two guys got it in--three woulda been better

up some outside stairs and in the doorway and just a lateral to the bakery

i got some of these but they didn't even use them

but we used them to scoot it around some since then

it's a table top and that's where you gotta get some strong guys to place it up on the table

nice to have the table up & ready so it can be once & done

it does weigh 200 pounds or something--but it weighs less than the freight --you won't need to bring the pallet in

idea for you

tape together a couple boxes to make that approximate size and

see how that goes through your door and down your steps

i gotta deluxe book right here if you want me to look it up assuming it hasn't changed

in some cases i think you can pay to get the item moved in by the freight company?--costs more---not even close to a thousand dollars--but you gotta be zoned commercial --some restrictions apply i think

I am beside myself with the $1000 thing! my freight was $200--your contractor/electrician can wire this for you

i also have the deluxe CR-3 and i got the stand for it too.  Got mine from Strattonsales and they also beat the price the company quoted me,  it even included delivery.

K8- what temp do you bake your cakes on, im finding they take alot longer then in a normal oven.

longer? wow interesting mine bake much quicker

especially compared to my home oven which is just about shot

i hover about 325 350 for cake--i've mostly been doing cookies lately

i keep thinking i probably should be baking at a lower temp

but the almost correct temp is working--the temp maybe needs to be a  little lower

i've had the oven for 6 years but only had it hooked up for one year--don't ask

i can't explain it myself

but nevertheless i love it

i just got a stainless steel table to set it on

it's a wonderful piece of equipment
