Our micro wave does not sit above the stove but is on the other side of the kitchen.
Is a convection oven feature necessary on an electric oven? We want the glass top covering the elements, the flat bottom of the inside of the oven too. Not a fancy oven
but around $500-900. Any features we should/should not have? Any particular brands you like or avoid?

Realizing this thread is few years old but curious what you decided and how you like it.

We're in the market for new electric appliances. Stuck with electric but have always preferred gas. I guess its just something to get used to. Someone told me Electrolux produces Kenmore and fairly decent. Some of the negs is the top easily scratches and you have to be careful with cleaning. The labeling / silkscreen comes off. Besides that, I've heard the cycling of heat is not consistent. Lots of heat, then off, repeat. That would suck for cooking with a wok. We want a five burn or ribbon element.
