GREAT Range-Top
on February 14, 2019
Posted by: GRock
from New Haven County, CT
I cook a lot. ALWAYS using the range-top. Bought this model in early 2018 & couldn't be happier with it. I have used other people's range-tops since purchasing mine, & they do not compare to this model. Even some of the high end unit from Viking can't touch this.
One of the features that I especially appreciate are the knobs for the burners. There is a long "travel" on them & they are numbered 1-10, so it makes it very easy to control the cooking temp. This is something that I took for granted until I used someone else high end unit where the knobs only had a 1/4 turn on them & it was IMPOSSIBLE to control the flame.
My unit also came with the optional middle griddle-top. This works really well for pancakes, especially.
Finally, there are several different sized burners (including the dual, super burner which is AWESOME!). These are very handy when cooking multiple dishes. You can put the rice on the smallest burner to keep it rolling, boil water super-fast on the dual burner & have another pan going on a medium sized burner.
I REALLY enjoy cooking on this unit.
I don't use the oven too often, but it seems to do a good job & is consistent.

Nice range with one recommendation.
on February 7, 2019

from Spokane, WA
This was a replacement range when we moved into our current home. Overall, performance is very nice. If I could change one thing, it would be to have a smaller burner located close to the front. Both large power burners are at the front, so many times I am reaching far to the back, which is a bit frustrating. I also wish the small burner in back would go a bit lower. Even the lowest setting is too "high" at times. The bottom drawer oven has worked quite well, so I am pleased with that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not so great features
on December 13, 2018
Posted by: MaggeeB
from Fort Wayne
My newly built home came with dual fuel stove which sounded great as I love to cook. Sadly it is too easy to accidentally hit controls while leaning in to stir pot on the back burners, leading to problems. The temperature of the elec oven cannot be adjusted up or down without turning oven off and resetting temperature. In my haste to increase temp, I hit lockout and had a terrible time getting it working again (only after finding and reading manual). Then the oven lights (interior) have never come on again. Hate the flat back surface. Love the 5th griddle/ burner and gas controls but touchy panel is not safe in my estimation. Use the timer on the “matching microwave” because the oven timer is a pain. Hate the microwave because it does not have a soften/melt feature that I use frequently for baking (cream cheese and butter ready to use in seconds). I wish I could trade these two items in and replace them. I feel angry every time I use these and get frustrated by their short comings. Did you you talk to people who cook all the time (2 and 3 times a day) when you designed these? I would not want this touchy controls panel in my kitchen if I had young children or even boisterous pets. All knobs and touch control on a stove should be out of reach to children a pets.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Owned just over a year and a few issues
on December 11, 2018

My oven lights go out all the time. Sometimes they randomly come back on. They are not loose and I keep replacing them. I am an experienced cook and I am having trouble roasting. Either the skin is not crisp or it is over browned. Convection roast burns the food and leaves it tough.
The self clean feature does not clean the oven. Sort of disappointed for the money I paid.

I LOVE my stove
on November 23, 2018
Posted by: DrTBW
from Virginia Beach, VA
I am new to a gas stovetop, and I absolutely love this stove and the precise control of the burners. I also love the dual fuel larger over with the "baker oven". Even though it's a smaller oven, I use it like a full oven for everything that does not require a larger pan/pot. I love having 2 ovens in my smaller sized kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’ve had a year and no issues. Power boil is great, easy to clean, oven is roomy. I love the center burner, really glad we went with that option.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No problems... love everything it does.

This range is going on 8 or 9 years old. I’ve used it frequently... and still operates like a champ. No issues. I don’t use all the features all that often, but when I do... it never fails to impress.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works flawlessly so far. Only had it for 3 days, but the range seems solid and easy to use. Oven worked great. I like the different burner settings and it looks nice in my kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!
