I’ve not been overly impressed withthe performance of any electric oven, but we did have an XLT electric air impingement oven in here for a short time about a year ago. As compared to its gas counterparts, it took longer to bake, and the temperature had to be set higher, but the bake was ok. As for leasing an oven, I’m not even sure anyone does that anymore. Check with the various manufacturers (Edge, Lincoln, Middleby-Marshall, XLT) to see if they have an electric flavored oven they got as a call back that they will sell as a refurbished unit. I know that XLT reinherited the electric oven we had when it was swapped out for one of their gas flavored ovens. If that doesn’t work, begin checking the classifieds as well as the used equipment companies to see what they have available. Also, don’t forget to check out any local pizza show(s) to see if one of the manufacturese has brought in an electric oven. Many times you can pick these up at a significant discount right off of the show floor.
Good Luck,
