My previous oven was also a Whirlpool with Accubake and a ceramic range top. The preheating on the new oven is significantly slower (~ 8 mins vs. 4 mins 30 sec to 425 degrees) and I also find the rangetop burner heating can be quite variable compared to the old one. It can also be quite a challenge to clean the stovetop, it seems to require more scraping and more frequent application of cooktop protectant. I don't know if I chose a lower-grade model or what but I feel the old one was better quality.
I brought the stove about a month ago and i love the style of the oven. It is very nice and heats up fast. The only downfall is that the stove is hard to clean off (even using the stove top cleaner that came with it)
happy with my new range.It has all the bells and whistles the other companies have, at a great price, Easy to use and no complaints.. Best thing of all its a Whirlpool!!!
the range has a lot of features of the high end ranges for less money. The oven heatsevenly and is quite visible thru door. I am very happy with purchase.
