Great Oven-Fair Cooktop-Terrible Control Panel
on March 24, 2013
Posted by: Jednick
from Wisconsin, USA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ovens are the only good thing about this appliance. The main oven heats quickly; maintains temperature; the convection feature is excellent. The baking drawer takes longer to heat, as the manual states, but it also works well and adds a lot of convenience.
A certain consumer magazine claimed the range elements heat well at high and low settings. Forget about it. You have to set a burner at High or you'll wait a long time before cookware is ready. Then crank it way back to avoid burning or over-boil.
The instruction manual is confusing and badly written.
But the worst thing about this appliance, and the reason I won't recommend it, is the control panel; it's mounted flat and at waist level. That's a design that's just asking for inadvertent contact. Because they're in a flat plane, it's easy to brush against them while using the cook top. You can lock the digital controls only when the oven ISN'T in use. If the oven IS on, you can accidentally turn it off. If you don't hear the little "beep", you won't realize it. You can also reset the timer by mistake. Either issue can ruin dinner. The mechanical range controls aren't immune from this. On two occasions, a heating element turned on when I, again, leaned against the front of the range, pushing and turning the control.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best ever range I have had.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This range is just fantastic! Cooks like a dream!! Heats up very fast and cooks evenly! The options on top of the range are just great! You can cook in any type of pot. You can keep an item warm on top of the range at the same time you are heating up another item. The grill is just wonderful. I am totally enjoying this range!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased this model so I haven't used it much yet but I have used the griddle, which I love. This was such a big upgrade from what we had that I haven't figured out how to use everything yet. It looks just great in my kitchen and I love the convection oven and oven drawer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This oven works great - I love having gas stove with option of regular or convection bake. The baking drawer is great, although I mostly use it for warming. It also looks great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best range I've ever had!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this for a few months now and wanted to really use it before reviewing. First of all, obviously it looks great! I love the center griddle and the power boil features of the range. Also, having a warming drawer that can actually bake meals is fantastic especially if you're just baking something small like a pizza or garlic bread.
I could go on and on....!

love this range.

from Sudbury, MA, USA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way it looks. All the features work great. Cooks and bakes evenly. Very easy to clean as long as you clean up right away. Love having the extra baking drawer. The only 2 slightly negative comments I would make is the touch pad is very sensitive and if you lean into it, you could turn on a button. But once you get used to this, it's not a problem. Also, the oven fan comes on and it's not exactly quiet, but again it's something that you can get used to. I would highly recommend this oven.
I would recommend this to a friend!
