ᐅ Looking for an oven with a temperature range from 30°C to 300°C and minimal electronic components

SepppHello,
I found a few high-end Miele appliances that can reach up to 300°C (572°F).
Some forum members complain about the extremely inaccurate temperature control at low settings, especially around 30°C (86°F).
I suspect, and hope I’m not the only one, with the following desired features in this order of priority:
Minimum temperature: 30°C (86°F) (for dough proofing...
... any reasonably good 2-point temperature control should manage this).
Maximum temperature: 280°C to 300°C (536°F to 572°F) (for pizza...)
Top and bottom heat, convection, and grill are standard anyway.
Electronics: Timer for automatic shut-off (for safety reasons...)
Program automation: Please no (what for, really?).
Pyrolytic cleaning: okay, but not necessary.
Oven size: One rack position (enough for roasting chicken height + grill clearance).
Special request: Microwave
Model to follow: professional pizza ovens; unfortunately only partially suitable for baking cookies.
Has anyone had experience with this?

From a technical standpoint, I don’t find this too difficult. Just go to, for example, gh . de, browse to the oven category, and pick through the options—you’ll get a nice product list.
What’s really interesting is this:
This leads to a completely different appliance size if you specifically want it to be “small.” What’s wrong with a standard-sized appliance? Anyway, gh . de shows 36 ovens meeting your 300°C (572°F) max temperature and 45cm (18 inches) niche dimension. The cheapest is an AEG KEK74220M for €371. It even has a minimum temperature setting as low as 30°C (86°F).
Accuracy of temperature controls is nowhere listed in the specifications. You’ll have to rely on user reviews for that. The problem is that such precision is simply unnecessary in this product category. These units operate in temperature intervals and cycle on/off when a threshold is passed.
For proofing dough, I’d look more toward a steam oven (or a combination appliance). Otherwise, if the lowest temperature is still too warm, try wedging a wooden spoon in the door.
