Whirlpool has, for me, made appliances that are cost effective with an abundance of features. This stove has a great glass top with large burners up front so large pots are easy to accommodate. The rapid dual burner boils water in half the amount of time a regular burner does. The only negative is that there is no red oven light to tell you the oven is still on. All in all great value for the money. Self cleaning works great.
