All the knobs are breakings
on October 25, 2015
Posted by: knobless
from Illinois
I am okay with the overall functionality of the stove top. HOWEVER, we have only had it since May of 2014, and already (October 2015) 3/5 of the knobs have broken. The PLASTIC...(plastic is cheap) split on the cylindrical part that holds onto the metal control switch. I would really like some better quality knobs, and feel that the broken ones should be replaced waaaay cheaper than $15 something each, especially if my only replacement option are the inadequate plastic knobs. Also there is no consistency on which way to turn the burners for high or low...so you have to check each time. It would be nice if HIGH was always to the top or left, and LOW was always to the bottom or right. this isn't the case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

"Easy wipe" but impossible to clean

I have to use a razor blade to clean the surface, always concerned about scratching. Sure it's easy-wipe. But wiping isn't cleaning. I bought the Whirlpool cleaning kit, but it's worthless. The cleaning compound is difficult to remove, leaving streaks. The compound itself works only with the razor blade. Still I have some spots that will be there forever.

I like the simmer setting and the variety of other burners.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this cook-top for a few weeks and like how quickly it heats my food. My only complaint is that the settings are so hard to see and that some burners are turned to the left to become hot while others are turned right to become hot.

Nice cooktop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted to replace my cooktop since I bought my house. Original was a circa 1984 tappan with standard burners, that finally died. This is obviously a night, and day difference which is expected.
Once used to heat settings, this cooktop does what it needs to do. Fast heat with alot of temperature control. Plenty of room for stock pots, or large pans. It makes cooking more enjoyable.
Only downside is keeping clean, and I only mean that by it looks better when spotless. Hard to clean between knobs (unless removed).
Install instructions were to the point since I did it my self.

Nice oven but can't be cleaned.

The lower door has openings to allow to air to escape. Unfortunately, this also allows spills to enter between the glass panes on the door. After three months the door looks filthy. I contacted Whirlpool regarding how to clean this and I was advised that I needed to have a service tech come out to clean my door. It is considered a "cosmetic" problem and is not covered under warranty. There is no way to avoid normal spills when using the oven. While I do like the double oven feature, it's not worth it to have my oven looking like I haven't wiped the door down, even though it was just cleaned. I was very excited when I purchased this very expensive oven and I'm sorry I wasted my money.

Love the double oven

from Seabrook, NH, United States
We bought this a year ago. My hubby did alot of research into what we wanted in a range. There is only the 2 of us so the small upper oven comes in very handy. On the holidays it's great because I have room to use both ovens. The stovetopss have different heat settings and they can boil water for pasta really quickly. The stovetop is a little difficul to keep shiny.

ease of use

I've had the oven for about 4 months now, cook every day, and have used the double oven feature ~6 times already. Most things can go into the top oven without using the energy required of a traditional single oven. The top oven rack is nearly flush with the door when open, making it a little easier for my husband to burn himself. The bottom oven door opens almost to the level of the floor. It is somewhat awkward and I can use it with ease, but someone with mobility issues might have a harder time. The warming plate is a nice convenience. It is a gorgeous appliance! I got it in stainless and black cooktop.
