I don't think they made that type for 30 years now. You are the first
person I ever heard say they liked it.
IMO, Continuous Clean was really "always looks dirty"

I don't have experience with the continuous clean type, but I have a kitchenaid self cleaning and it works fine. Not much left but a little light ash, no black stuff coming out the vents. Also, I think all these ovens continuous clean to some extent. It's just that at the very high clean cycle temps it can oxidize the gunk even more. If it wasn't burning some of it off all the time I think it would get dirtier a lot quicker.
