[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the double oven - this is what I wanted. A lot of room when making a big meal and when you just want to make a pizza or whatever you only need to heat up the small oven.
When we came home from vacation, there was an alert on the stove "knob on, auto gas shut off" (or something like that). Here our cat must have been messing around and hit one knob and the stove knew and shut the gas off! :). Nice to know that someone was watching out for something weird like that to happen.

The only thing I would change is the thickness of the backsplash. The cooktop would have more room if the backsplash was thinner. It is impossible to use the front burners and the back burners at the same time. In the test kitchen they should have caught that. If you use two small pots, but.... With the way tech is, iPads, phones, ect, you know the backsplash could be thinner and that would give the extra space needed for larger pots on the burners.
Over all I really love this stove and I am glad I saved up for it! :)
Pros: Design
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My oven has been operating well since my purchase almost a year ago. However, when the oven is on, it heats the top of the stove and the top controls as well. It is not well insulated and seems to be cheaply made and not as heavy as my older stove I got rid of. I like the way it looks and I like the convection oven and the convenience of the double ovens but cannot recommend it because of the way it allows heat to escape and heat up the outside of the appliance and the kitchen.
Pros: Design, Convenient Features
Cons: controls get very hot; heat leaks from the oven.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

nothing but oven trouble

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The range is a beautiful addition to any kitchen.
However, I have had nothing but trouble with the oven. I never know if it will first light, and then second, stay lit during a cooking cycle. Two hours to cook a meat loaf is not my idea of a great oven.
More often than not, it won't light. Then when it does light, it is unpredictable as to weather it will maintain the cooking cycle or not. Midway though a cycle, it tries to come back on but will not, and the temp of the oven drops off.

I am waiting for a second visit from the tech. He said he ordered a new burner unit and electrodes. Oh by the way, I have only had the range for 5 months.
Pros: Design
Cons: unpredictable oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I`ve only had this range for a few weeks, but so far it`s been really great. It`s everything I could want in a range. It took a while to get used to all the bells and whistles, but I`m am so glad I decided to purchase this one. It`s perfect for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So easy to use AND clean!

Verified Purchase:No
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My idea was to have the convenience of a double oven. I was concerned that the range top would be awkward and hard to keep clean. I am amazed at how easy it is to clean the stove top and I love the ovens so far. Very easy to calibrate and set the temp and timer. Designersseem to have thought of lots of effective performance possibilities. So far, excellent!!

Burner Valve failure

Verified Purchase:No
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this double oven gas range because I wanted a double oven with gas range when I remodeled the kitchen. Has worked mostly as expected, but had the right front burner valve go out after only 3 years. Should last longer than that. The top is also difficult to keep clean, even if you stay on top of it.
The racks in the oven can be difficult to move around.

Pros: Design, easy to use, Convenient Features
