Southbend Commercial Convection Ovens in Toronto & Canada

Southbend Commercial Convection Ovens in Toronto & Canada

Southbend was founded in 1898 in South Bend, Indiana, and it now builds its commercial cooking equipment in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina as part of the Middleby Corporation. It makes convection ovens, ranges, broilers, and steam equipment, and every Southbend convection oven is made in the USA. Why choose Southbend over a brand like Blodgett? Southbend's convection ovens have a patented slide out control panel that's easy to service, a coved porcelain interior that's simple to clean, and dual door seals to hold heat. They come with a 1 year limited parts and labour warranty through the manufacturer, and Southbend's warranty covers Canada. One standout is the Southbend BGS/13SC High Efficiency Gas Convection Oven. Its patented, non-clog Inshot burners mix air and gas much like a jet engine, and the oven is Energy Star rated. We also carry the Southbend BES/17SC Electric Convection Oven, plus double stack gas and electric models. Southbend ovens are typically special order with an estimated lead time of 2-6 weeks. Phoenix Food Equipment ships Southbend from Vaughan across Toronto, the GTA, and the rest of Canada and the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What is the warranty on Southbend products?

Southbend's warranty goes through the manufacturer, and it covers Canada. The Southbend convection ovens we carry come with a 1 year limited parts and labour warranty. Items like glass, seals, bulbs, and igniters are covered for 90 days. We can assist with any brand that isn't in-house, so if you have any questions, or your oven arrives defective, damaged, or not what you ordered, contact us at sales@phoenixfe.ca or 1-833-669-8003.

Where are Southbend ovens made?

Southbend convection ovens are made in the USA. The company was founded in 1898 in South Bend, Indiana, and it now builds its equipment in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina as part of the Middleby Corporation. The gas models we carry are CSA certified, and the electric models are ETL and CSA certified. If you have questions about a specific model, contact us with the model number and we'll help.

What are Southbend Inshot burners?

Inshot burners are Southbend's patented high efficiency gas burners. Each burner mixes air and gas through one large opening, much like a jet engine, which gives a consistent burn and can't clog. They also help keep the oven low, so a double stack fits more easily under a hood. The BGS/13SC and BGS/23SC use Inshot burners and are Energy Star rated, so ask us about qualifying rebates. If you're not sure which oven fits your kitchen, contact us and we'll help you compare options.
