Not ready for prime time
on August 21, 2024

from Naples, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly, Hello ALL range manufacturers listen up! I did a lot of research trying to find an electric coil range that didn't look the same as 50+ years ago. I wanted a self cleaning one with no controls in the back so I'd have a nice unobstructed view of my gorgeous backsplash to my hood. The housing development where I live, offers NO gas. I needed an electric coil range because I use cast iron pans. I was advised not to get a smooth top because the cast iron pans would ruin the top if the pans were dragged. Well jeez, here's a news flash; cast iron pans are heavy and of course they will be dragged! It's ridiculous there are no other electric coil top models that have an updated appearance with 2 large coil burners and 2 small coil burners and a drawer under the oven. I looked. I bought it for the look of it and the large oven. I am renovating my kitchen, it appears a little more modern than the still archaic looking coil ranges 2) All Whirlpool did with this range was take the rear top, where the knobs are, and weld it on the front, therefore it juts out quite a bit in front because of that. So the rear burners are harder to reach. I'm a woman at above average height of 5'6", with long arms and I have to stand on tippy toes to see the entire pans on the back burners! How this is rated ADA compliant is a mystery. I'm sure someone got their palm greased, $$. Yes, a person in a wheelchair can better reach the controls in the front, but there is no way they can see and maybe not even reach, the back burners AND there ar no models in the store to see or try this out 3) Because all Whirlpool did was take the back knob control unit off and weld it to the front, the burners and controls are all backwards, not a big deal but you'll have to get reacclimatized to which knob controls which burner. 4) Again because whirlpool took the clunky control panel from the rear and welded it to the front, your oven is lower and the drawer is smaller. 5) There is a huge gap between the front controls and the oven door. So even with the door closed, you can clearly see all the stickers (model & serial #, warnings, etc) on the inside of the door face, the stickers are white and neon orange. The huge gap makes this expensive stove look cheap. 6) It came with no instruction booklet, only a booklet for installation. There are no instructions online either. Not a big deal you say? Well, you're wrong. If you don't use the Lasagna or Pizza button to preheat the oven you'll be waiting hours for it to get to temperature. 7) The top doesn't open so be careful not to spill anything that can get past the drip bowl there is no way to clean it. 8) It cooks well, I haven't had any issues with it shutting off as others have commented on, but I use heavy Calphalon and cast iron pans 9) The handles are too bulky and high, just as another commenter said. But remember Whirlpool chose a cheap update why in the world would they put nice, new, sleek, smaller handles, which would probably cost them 5 cents each due to their buying volume, on a barely thought out remodel such as this? 10) In conclusion: I'd say buy a different range, if your reasons are the same as mine, but there aren't any if your only choice is electricity. I'd have switched to gas if I could, many more options in gas.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the frozen bake technology!

Posted by: ohio senior
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being old fashioned in my tastes, I did not want a ceramic glass top preferring to have the coil burners. Was very happy to find Whirlpool still producing them. I have my new stove almost a month. Happy with the overall design. My one problem with the stove is the oven light. It is too dim to see what's going on with the food on the bottom shelf.

It works alright so far. Longer preheat. Cooler.

from Berea, Ky
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not as quick heating as our previous unit. Doesn't run as hot on the burners or the oven.
Drawer doesn't hold as much on the bottom. It has worked and is better than not having it. Just not the quality of the 14 year old stove it replaced. There isn't an attached backslash offered by Whirlpool. Only wall mounted ones.

enamel is coming off

from Memphis, TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I noticed the enamel is coming off already when I was washing it. It has not been scraped by anything. It has hardly been used. I I will need to get paint even thought the appliance is brand new. That was not a great discovery.

Good but shortcomings are obvious
on October 7, 2022
Posted by: Whirlplop
from Great Falls, VA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new range was installed last week so we don't have a long track record with it but overall it's very good. Where obvious shortcomings are evident is: 1 - the Bottom Drawer seems like an after thought - you will struggle to get it open - basically, metal on metal tracks - the storage space is almost useless - our old Amana had an easy to access drawer that held large pots - this one can't do that. 2 - the center sensor on each burner discolors with use - really? It's obvious after only one week of use. Eventually, they will look burnt out - not a good impression for a new stove. Come on Whirlpool, this is the best you could do? So far, everything else works as expected so that's good but the 2 pts I just made taint the overall impression.
