We need to replace a 22" wide in the wall oven. Mrs. Plant doesn’t ant to spend $700. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Try a used appliance store.

If you’ve got time, try checking in at the local Sears Outlet store.

Are you sure it’s 22"? AFAIK, 24" is the narrowest wall oven available. It’s crazy what these things cost. $650-ish gets a manual-clean oven, but for $300, you can get a freestanding range. Still manual clean, but it adds four burners on top. 😕
