IT REALLY BAKES!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new stove. My old stove would not get hot enough to bake or cook anything in the oven. I never knew if the food would be done or not. Anyways I just installed a new kitchen without new appliances. This KitchenAid had everything I wanted. It bakes and cooks great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

love that the oven is both gas and convection, best of both

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stove. it is fabulous with the design of either regular gas oven cooking or convection cooking. it is the best of both worlds and I hope this feature never goes away on kitchenaid ranges. it is fab. also love having that 5th burner. and the burner grates go across the whole stove top and not just the burner. so you can easily slide a pan/pot off of the burner without having to lift it off. just fab!!! do wish the light on the control panel was blue and not white so it would match my other kitchenaid appliances, microwave and fridge. makes cooking fun again.
Pros: gas and convection oven, continuous grates across top, Convenient Features, Design, Innovative, easy to use, Performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE having double ovens - the double ovens give this range 4 stars in spite of the design issues I have with it.
Issues that could be improved:
1. The face where the knobs are is rounded and sloped. You have to watch pots on your front burners because if you aren't paying attention you can set a pot down or move it and have it tip toward you. (watch your kids!)
2. The face where the knobs are gets very hot when the top oven is in use and because it's sloped you are more likely to touch it than if it was completely vertical. (watch your kids!)
3. The top oven is short (out of necessity) and you must be careful because the usual clearance space for your hand as you scoop under your item isn't there. It's very easy to burn yourself as you reach in or pull out.

Bake more in less time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I specifically chose this range cause the dual oven seemed practical for quick baking. Happily, that was a good call and I find it much easier to bake small batches on the spur of the moment. The smaller oven takes less time to preheat and the beep sounds as soon as the temperature is at its proper setting !

Nice looking...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this range almost a month. It has a very large oven window, which makes it easy to watch whatever you're cooking. It does not come with a broiler, so save the 1 from your previous range. I wanted a convection oven option because I understood it baked more quickly, evenly & browned things better. I have not found that to be true. I baked sugar cookies that normally would bake between 8-10 minutes, they took 15 min. in the 'regular' baking mode...18 min. using the convection option. Also, the electric cord is not centered in the back; we live in an older home that does not have a behind-the-range outlet. Our outlet is just above the countertop, so it barely reached the outlet. The butter/chocolate burner works fine & is the only burner that allows you to have a very low flame. The other 4 burners have a low option but it's still fairly high. My old gas range allowed me to have a wider choice on the flame height...the 2 front burners keep things too hot at times. I was trying to keep a pot of soup warm during a holiday party & the only burner that worked well was the back one....so ladling soup from that position was messy. I haven't used the griddle yet but think it should work well. I don't care for the 2-piece grid on top...if you want to wipe up a minor spill, you need to remove the whole top & find a place to put it. It's interlocking so the 2 'locks' link in opposite directions so it's not a matter of just lifting up in front.

Amazing Double Oven

Verified Purchase:No
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this range about a month ago. I love the set up of the temperature controls for each oven. Having two ovens allows me to cook with different temperatures. The broiler cooks so evenly. I can not rave enough about this range, one of my best purchases.
I would recommend this to a friend!
