We love our new ceramic top stove/oven. It heats up far faster than our old range top. The only drawback is that our pans tend to slide when being stirred. It would be nice if some type of grating could be built into the design to prevent this. Otherwise, great product!
Solid stove and oven with some extras at a terrific price!

We previously had a higher end range from another competitor (purchased new 3 years ago) with convection, rapid boil, self cleaning, etc. We decided to purchase this basic stove because we had so much trouble with the other brand!!! The other brand smoked every time a little drop of something hit any part of the oven...even if the food steamed, like with cheesecake. There are 4 people with asthma in our household and this was quite detrimental. We had to open windows and have people leave the house. It was ridiculous.We went back to the trusted Whirlpool brand and I am thrilled. The oven keeps the right temperature, it doesn't smoke. I just love it! It has a timer, the racks adjust easily, the oven light is bright enough to actually see the food baking without opening the door and it was quite inexpensive.The rapid boil is terrific (we love pasta), the top cleans fairly easily, the knobs work well for my grandmother who is 100 years old. She can easily tell when it turns off because it clicks. You have to push the knob in so it doesn't accidentally turn on...a great feature for people with seniors or young children in the family.The price versus quality is amazing! We paid a very modest amount for a solid range. It even looks sharp with the stainless on the front.We have not used the self-cleaning yet.I highly recommend this range to anyone wanting a sharp looking appliance that does what it is supposed to do. I am relieved to be able to bake without worrying about smoking everyone out of the house. I am an excellent cook who cooks/bakes from scratch so I use the range every day.
I am very happy with my purchase. I have had it for two months and everything is great so far. I am not happy with the timer and the clock. I like to use the timer but the only way to set the timer is by pressing the button until you get to the desired time. I feel that this button is going to break because of the overuse. Same for the clock. There isn't any easy way to set the clock. The only option is pressing the button till you get to the appropriate time.I would recommend the stove because it does the job and it looks nice.
We purchased this range to replace an older white top maytag stove in our new florida condo. After a couple of months I could safely say it has great features and it is very easy to use.It is also atractive looking.
