Crumbs get around the edges of the top and the top doesn't clean up very well even with the supplied cleaner. If you clean too much it leaves marks in top.
After 28 years, we upgraded our appliances. We bought the stove at the lower end of the price range, so maybe that's the problem. I love the oven! It's spacious; heats up quickly; cooks evenly and performs perfectly. However, when it comes to the top cooking surface, it's awful! It's hard to regulate the heat and it tends to get too hot too quickly and doesn't cool down very fast. And it's almost impossible to clean. No matter what cleaner we use on it, it takes forever to get the streaks off and leave the surface shiny. The very first time we used the cook top, it left a small mark that won't come out. We would have preferred to have gas, but there is no gas available here unless we replumb and install a propane tank. Looks like we are stuck! The other complaint I have is that the drawer under the oven is pretty flimsy. It feels as though it could be bent if I shut it the wrong way. It's so flimsy that I am actually storing my plastic ware there and not anything heavy like a pot or pan. If I had it to do over, I would NOT buy this stove.
We received this oven as a wedding gift as we were in dire need of an upgrade. Boy did we get one. It is simple to use, easy to clean and makes cooking more enjoyable. The only thing I can point out is that the broiler almost works too well. It gets so hot, so quick I have burnt one or two things. (I think it is the man, not the machine though.) Overall, great experience so far.
