Just what I needed, but. . .

The range was installed yesterday by a pair of courteous and careful delivery men.
Unfortunately, I already have a warranty repair scheduled.
The "oven heating" light is mis-wired so that the light remains on continuously and does not cycle on and off with the heating element.
On a separate (design) issue, I was disappointed that the (blank) backsplash had to be a part of the range. I use ADA front panel controls. The backsplash is wasted metal with no clock or controls.
From a marketing perspective, this model would sell like hot-cakes if it was a glass top with self-clean in approximately the same price range.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Has pros and cons

I have only had this in use for about 3 weeks...I will update if needed, as time/use increases. After 35 years of extreme cooking...and after a few apartment and then owning 3 different houses I have used just about all cooking type of ranges. Last 3 I have had were smooth top and wanted to get away from that. No gas available in my area and too expensive to fit for propane gas...I went back to my second favorite...the coils. I now have MS and also wanted front controls. This range is simple which I like. Here is what I do not like and feel these features could have been added for the price range. My biggest number 1 issue is that there is no pre-heat alert...either audible or a light coming on/off to alert that the oven is at temp. I find this VERY important because I COOK! I had to buy a little thermometer to check. Number 2 issue no clock.... I miss a timer. I do never did use any other clock feature such as delayed start/timed shut off etc. Just a simple clock and the ability to set a timer...especially due to disabilities and forgetting I have something in the oven or on the stove top. My 3rd issue is minor...but has happened to me about 5 times now in
the past 3 weeks.... the front knobs turn on too easy.... one little bump from an arm/body part will turn the knob. Yes, there is a light to alert that something is turned on however if you are not expecting it...just walking by it and bump it the wrong way...it turns on. By the time I have realized this has happened has been 10 to 30 minutes later...with either a red hot burner going or a hot oven...or happening to notice an alert light is on.
As for the function of the range..so far so good. It cooks well, oven temp did need adjusting by a few degrees but expected. This was also shipped with the rear adjusting legs extended to their highest level...and the front to their lowest... which was a pain to properly adjust having MS. Would have been best to receive with all at their lowest level...putting it at true counter height...and if needed tweak from there. Oh and, drawer is larger than other ranges I have owned....but a little hard to open.

Works very well

I bought this a few months ago to replace an old built in range. I like the larger oven and the knobs on the front of the stove. The oven and all the burners work very well. My one complaint is the "backsplash": it looks like there should be something on there...a clock...a timer...something. Works well for a no frills stove.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Apartment owners like this one

Simple, straightforward electric range with dials that old folks with arthritis can use. Self cleans in people move out leaving it greasy. A bit more expensive than the cheapest, GE, but made better.
I would recommend this to a friend!
