The range is GE. It has a rear fan with a circular heating element
surrounding it, covered by a shroud. GE makes a variety of models with the
same convection feature.

The countertop model is a Farberware T490C commercial convection oven. It
has a top mounted fan with enclosed heating element around the fan.
