Great disappointment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks great, but that's about it. The flames dance and takes 20+ minutes to boil two cups of water. Very hard to clean. Just a huge disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love cooking on this stove. the oven cooks very evenly and has lots of room. I like the design on the grates for cleaning but is not suitable for little pans. I only use two burners on the stove becausethe other two have smaller burners. Kitchen aid is the only appliances we allow into our household. They are very bueatiful and of great quality.
Pros: Performance, Convenient Features, easy to use
Cons: grates are not efficient for smaller pans
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this back in january. It looks great was easy to install and works very well. There are a few flaws. 1 the burners are so far from the grates the flame heats the handles of the pots. 2 when using a griddle the burners are sized so different the griddle is hotter on half then the other.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Don't do it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not sure how Kitchenaid is screening these reviews but, if your reading this as part of a purchase decision, do yourself a favor and read reviews on other sites. For example, try the largest retailer on the planet. You'll see the 2.5 star truth, which I feel is generous.
I just had this range and so-called matching micro hood professionally installed yesterday. When I got home, I couldn't have been more disappointed. The overall design, quality, and value is shockingly poor.
Here are a few points I noticed immediately.
1. The handles on the range do not match the micro hood. They are a different shape and color. No mistake. The micro hood is the architect II series as well. 2. The LED clock is so bright, you could read by it at night. It also doesn't match the micro hood clock. It's so bright, you can see the whole control circuit board. 3. The cast iron grate on the right side is warped upward 1/4" in the middle. It's visible from the front of the stove. 4. The knob for the duel burner sticks out further than the other knobs. 5. All igniters come on when turning on a single burner. 6. There is no "high" stop. You have to find the point just after the igniters stop. 7. There are razor sharp edges where paper thin stainless is wrapped around the oven door. 8. The overall quality is very thin cheap feeling. You could fold the warming drawer in half with your bare hands. 9. The cheap chrome bolts with brown plastic pads molded on them for leveling legs are visible from the front. There is no attempt to hide them. Really cheesy. 10. The color of the Kitchenaid logos do not match between the stove and micro hood. They are distinctly different colors. They don't even control their logo color.
I just don't know what to say other than while this may be on the lower end for Kitchenaid, if this is any indication of their overall quality, good luck competing long term. I will never, and I mean never, purchase another product with the Kitchenaid brand on it.
I hope this helps. I develop products for a living and know the difference between good and poor design and manufacturing quality. This is a really poor example of both in my opinion.
Again, check the reviews on the largest retailer on earth. I think you will find it amazing how radical the difference is from this site. Makes you wonder. Sure wish I would have read those first. I understand from those reviews, although I haven't even used the product yet, the right front and left rear burners will barely even boil water and to do so, it takes an excessively long time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wonderful range

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really am liking the new range , I replaced it from an almost 3 yr old GE Cafe , that was a lemon, Very happy I went with the KA , Yes it is MUCH louder when going on to reach temp and it does a pop sound, But you get used to it, I have more of a problem with a vibrating noise that happens when its cooking , I cant seem to locate where it is coming from to stop it. I also would change the open hole/pipe that the air escapes from in the middle of the burners, I am afraid something will get dropped in there , plus the cover is not coated with any type of feet so that also vibrates, I was very spoiled with being able to put LARGE baking sheet trays in or even average sized sheet trays but with this oven, its not possible , The depth is VERY short compared to a regular oven, there is a huge area behind the stove that it wont go back any farther , I have to find something to cover that area now, last stove was a 30 inch as well but went right up against the wall.It said 27 an 3/8 depth but its only 15 depth for a tray inside, where I was able to use 2 trays on a rack i only can use 1 width wise. these are all little things but I hope to add some good information so KA could become even better. I love my over all stove and would not mind at all too be a KA tester LOL! IF i could change one thing it would be the depth of the stove to go back farther and allow for a longer sheet tray. The warming drawer is terrific!! the controls are great, they do not get scorching hot when the oven is on, and they also have a rubber area on the knobs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I had to replace my range that I really liked, and was no longer made. , I had seriously doubted I would find one I liked as much, nor would I find one that would slide in properly in my granite counter tops. This range fit right in, looks great, and I am still learning how to use all the features it has. Great product, great price; I couldn't be happier with my new range. Now I finally have all Kitchenaid appliances in my kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!
