Should You Buy a New or Used Commercial Pizza Oven?
Are you wondering if you should you buy a new or used commercial pizza oven? The answer would depend on a lot of variables. Many people find themselves shopping for used commercial pizza ovens simply because they think that these would be cheaper. That is not true in many cases. There are some new models coming out that are affordable as or even less pricey than the used commercial ovens. Aside from price, some of the more important considerations you should be looking into are:

1. The actual use of the oven.

Incredibly, there are a fair number of people who look at ovens first before they think of the actual food products they intend to sell. In other words, they make their food suit the standards of the oven, rather than the other way around.

It is important to know first what you intend to sell before you go shopping for an expensive piece of equipment like this. If you want to sell 16" pies for most of the selling day, make sure that you get an oven that can fit the bill. You will not find the range of new and used models lacking. However, you still have to make sure that you get the correct sized oven and the right style (conveyor or decked) to suit your needs.

2. Check product specifications.

One of the cons of getting new models is the attachments of expensive features you may not be willing to use or pay to for. Read through product specifications with a fine-tooth comb. Some snazzy descriptions like "automatic broiling and browning functions, complete with baffle fan to ensure uniform heat distribution" can add a lot of zeroes at the end of a price tag.

But the truth is: most commercial and convection ovens have these functions already. So you are basically paying for more money for nothing.

On the other hand, if you are looking into used commercial pizza ovens, try to make sure that these are in perfect working condition before you put your money down for a sale. Replacing parts and cleaning the oven thoroughly may be necessary.

Just remember this simple rule: if you estimate that the price of patching up a used oven is about the same as a newer model, then go for the newer one. If not, then you may find a good investment with a previously "loved" commercial pizza oven.
