Very pleased

This electric range came with our home when we purchased it. I really wasn't sure what to expect, since it had been used for over three years by the previous family. I am very pleased to say that this range/oven has been great for the three years that we have been living here. I have not had any problems from it baking unevenly or not heating, etc. I love the sleek design and how easy it is to keep the glass top clean. I have not used the self clean feature yet, but I am glad that it is there for when I do choose to use it. The dual burner is very nice to have, especially when you need to utilize the entire cook top efficiently. The only complaint I have with this model is that I don't like the blue clock face, but that is becoming the norm on most kitchen appliances. I would recommend this model to anyone that is looking for something durable and of good quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible electric range WFE510
on July 1, 2020

from Morris County NJ
Owned many Whirlpool applilances - mostly Gold - washers, dryers, ranges (Ah, my Accubake!) over the years. This junk is nothing like in any little way those products of old. The new owners trashed Maytag as well. Of course, they don't care - too much money to be made on all those ill-informed buyers and consumers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Crowded cooktop, annoying controls--not impressed
on July 18, 2020

This range is an okay performer, but it has some serious cons. We've had ours a little over 4 years and are eager to replace it in our upcoming kitchen remodel.
Pros:
-It's pretty easy to keep the top clean;
-Self cleaning mode for oven works well;
-The two big burners put out plenty of heat and seem to heat up pretty quickly;
-The oven is a consistent performer.

Cons:
-The layout of the burners makes this essentially a two-burner cooktop. When I use the two large burners in front at the same time with meal-sized pans, the back burners are basically unusable. For example, if I have stock pot on one front burner and a 12" skillet on the other, the two back burners are impossible to use with anything other than a tiny pot (1-quart). This is by far my biggest gripe with the stove.
-The two small burners on the back don't put out enough heat, don't seem to heat up as quickly, and are little too small to be useful very often.
-The push button controls for the oven and the timer are annoying to the point of cursing frustration. They are difficult to manipulate with clean, dry hands and require way too many pushes to adjust. It's like an 1980's alarm clock. Don't even get me started on the timer controls.
-The single read-out for the timer/oven makes it hard to tell what's going on when the timer and the oven are both running. I've accidentally turned off the oven several times thinking I was turning off the timer.
-The blue-light on the led clock is cool but unreadable unless you're standing right on top of it. Even in the dark, your eyes simply will not resolve that blue light into numbers. Almost as a party game, I have asked many guests to try to read the numbers from 10-15 feet away. Most fail.

If you're only looking for light-duty cooking, this unit might be fine. If you're like me and you really enjoy preparing more complicated dishes or meals that require a lot of cooktop activity, I highly recommend that you look elsewhere or at least that you bring you pots and pans to the store and experiment with the cooktop before you commit.
At a little over four years old, the controls of one of our burners is beginning to act up. Sometimes, the burner simply ignores the nob when you turn it up or down. It started about a month ago and happens only intermittently, but as time goes by, it's happening more and more. If it keeps deteriorating, this will be a 3-burner range in another few weeks. I know they don't make appliances like they used to, but I'm not impressed

Smoke comes out of sides of back panel
on March 16, 2022
Posted by: Daisy
from Kingston, Ontario
I bought this range almost 4 months ago thinking I was finally treating myself to a great appliance. I paid more than double what I have ever paid for a range in 55 years and am so disappointed with this purchase. Although it looks great, here are a couple of issues I have with my new range - 1) there is a wire hanging down in the oven that interferes with my casserole dishes and roast pans. I am afraid I am going to do damage to the wiring in the oven one day and 2) when something spills over and burns, smoke comes pouring out of the sides of the back panel. This is something I have never experienced before with any range I have owned!! I also initially had an issue with the temperature, but I just up it a few degrees. I would not recommend this range to anyone
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
