Our new oven was delivered today. All things considered, we really did get it in a timely fashion, although on Sunday, waiting until today seemed like an eternity!

I can’t say enough good things about Best Buy. Aside from the great deal we got, from the free delivery and haul-away (I love the word free!), to the good sale price and the additional percent off on top of the great financing, the delivery itself was awesome. They told us on Sunday that it could basically be delivered anytime today, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., but that they would call the day before delivery with a smaller window. Yesterday, they told us that they’d deliver between 10 and 12, and they arrived promptly at 10:02. I was ecstatic about this, because usually in these situations, you’re still waiting around 15 minutes after the promised window has passed.

We took a break from our schoolwork to watch them get the oven ready outside before bringing it in. They actually took a pretty long time reading the instruction book out there, to the point where I was getting nervous. Once it was inside, however, they had it hooked up and running in a flash!

Isn’t it shiny?

I love how modern it is, from the appearance, (loving the stainless steel), to the features we didn’t have on our old oven, (since when do they enclose the bottom heating element? That’s absolute genius!).

I’m relishing the fact that for today, anyway, the inside of the oven is absolutely pristine, (as is the floor underneath it, thanks to a lot of scrubbing and elbow grease!).
