Overall a good small stove

Needed a small stove for my apartment. I spent hours looking for one that could fit my full size baking pans and this was the only one I could find. Happy to find that I can use all my normal baking sheets! The white markings on the surface are deceptive though, the actual heating coil is 1” smaller in radius than the markings. Also, this does not have any indicator that the oven is on other than the temp dial. There is a light that comes on when the oven is first turned on, but goes off when the temperature is reached. I would have liked a light somewhere that is on the whole time the oven is on, like the light for the hot surface. I found it useful to purchase a thermometer than I hang in the oven to read what the temp actually is. I’ve found that the oven doesn’t keep its temperature as stable as I would like, but it’s not clear what causes the fluctuations (tied maybe to opening the oven?). Precision of temp is not great, only really have 50 oF markings and it was hard to get something like 375 oF. Overall happy with it, but just be aware of its limitations.
I bought this about a month ago and Love it. Heat food up quickly and boiled water within minutes; also have steam clean. So far I'm very happy with my purchase.
Purchased for a small condo kitchen. Perfect even cooked a turkey on Thanksgiving w the convention. No basting need. I’m a big bastet so was shocked but the out come.
So happy I finally have a glass top stove. Cooking and cleaning on this is painless compared to the coil top stove I had before. Both the cooktop and the oven heat up quickly, and I love that the controls are in front instead of at the back above the cooktop. My only complaint so fat is I hoped the display had more functions, as it is it only shows the time, turns the oven light on/off, and has a cook timer. A digital readout of the current temperature of the oven would have been a fantastic feature.

Hello Cookman69,
We appreciate you writing this awesome review! We're so happy to hear how much you are loving the glass cooktop. We can understand your concern about the oven having more functions. We'll be sure to pass this information to our product team for future developments.
We have used the range for about a month and so far we are satisfied. Certain aspects of the range seem a bit "thin", i.e. the storage tray and the sides and bottom inside the range, so the true test is how long will it remain dependable. Time will tell.
This appliance was installed last week. I've put it to the test baking, cooking, ect. It all works just fine, nice even heating. Honestly, looks better in person than from what I saw in the picture.
