Just my experience aboard several boats: While the cooktop on the Force 10 is superb (love the hinge-up grate!), the oven design is poor. While a seeming neat design, in order to get the articulated hinge door to "disappear" underneath rather than simply hinge down, the heating element is located along the far back edge, creating an enormous hot spot in the back of the oven, a cold spot in front. Brownies are a disaster! (try explaining that to 12 year olds). The Force 10's broiler is pretty nice though. Practical Sailor liked the Seaward when reviewing ranges a few years ago which is why I installed one. While I wish it had a couple of the Force 10's features (did I mention the hinge-up cooking grate??? My Seaward has a porcelain-coated set in cooking rack), it is a rock solid unit. Oven keeps a wonderfully even temperature, very close to the thermostatic setting. Peter Willard 36 San Francisco
