I've been wanting a ceramic top stove for quite some time, and I finally took the plunge and bought myself one. I'm a little paranoid about scratching / cracking the top, but it's great to not have to worry about a huge mess to clean up when I have boil overs. No more removing burners and having to clean out the burner liner and the inside of the stove top. I find that the elements don't seem to heat up quite as quickly as coil elements, but that's just a small trade-off. Both the elements and the oven can make funky noises when they're on. I really like the indicator light that shows me when the stove top is still warm after I have used a burner. If I had young grandchildren, I might be a little bit concerned about having the control knobs on the front of the stove, but that's another trade-off for not having to reach across steaming pots to reach the controls. I've only used the oven a couple of times so far, but it works great.
A reliable stove with a big oven, easy to clean, and straightforward to use. I somewhat miss the timer and how the oven light came on when I opened the door on my old coil range, but I love the flat cooktop of the new! My pans don’t slide off the coil anymore.
Very interesting feature of control the heat. Due to the slow heating speed, I normally prefer using gas stove to stir-fry chinese dishes. But I believe this one might work well on stir-fry.

Bought it just months ago. First we preferred another one very similar to our old one, then my wife found it. Looks more fancy and has 5 elements, one dedicatedly for keeping warm, it sounds more advanced than our old one. Though we have not use the keeping warm or try to stir-fry on it yet, the other normal cooking we have done on it are very good, at least not worse than our old one
I bought this stove as a surprise gift for my Mom. She did want to part with her previous stove of 46 years. Now she tells me it is the best thing I could have done. Everyday she calls me to tell me how great her stove is.
After using this oven for several weeks, I've been generally pleased with its performance and features. The oven's design is sleek and modern, fitting well into my kitchen aesthetic. It heats up quickly and cooks food evenly, which has significantly improved my cooking experience. Overall, the oven is a reliable choice for anyone looking for a modern, efficient oven with excellent cooking results.
