My wife loves the burners
on January 17, 2023
Posted by: dboo
from C.H. Virginia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this for only a few weeks, but so far so good. My wife did not like glass tops so we opted for this one with burners. Very nice features, looks great, and works perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than a glass top
on February 8, 2023
Posted by: Pat O
from Holiday Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stove top is easier to keep clean than a glass top style stove. All the controls are easy to use. Knobs are on the front, no reaching over the hot burners. Oven is large. Self cleaning oven is a nice feature
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product because I didn’t want a smooth top range. This model is nothing fancy but just what I wanted.

Review of Whirlpool Coil Range
on May 23, 2023
Posted by: Kathie
from Ft Worth, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this range because of the coil top features. I had purchased a different brand with a glass top from another mfg. I DID NOT like it from almost day one. Started a fire on two occasions which burned into the glass. Hard to clean, had to clean after every use or it looked awful. The location of the cook nobs at the front caused the fires. You accidently just bump and it turned on the burner. UGH!
The Whirlpool was exactly what I wanted, even though some thought it was the newest type fashion. Sorry , I love it. It is easier to clean and safer!

Good stove/oven
on March 5, 2024
Posted by: Not so hot
from Northern Virginia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We enjoy this stove/oven except one of the large coil burners had to be replaced, after about 18 mo moderate use - intermittently cut on/off when boiling water for pasta. Took forever. We initially swapped it with the one in the back that did the job fine so we ended up calling Whirlpool and they sent us a replacement coil. All is good now. The metal used on the center disk of the burner is poor quality and turns a burnt color with little use. Makes the stove look old. Not sure why they did that.
The controls are now up front which is the right place to have them.
The top black surface is shiny and collects water spots even with constant cleaning. The top surface should have been painted a matte finish so that water marks would be less visible. Not sure what the reasoning was behind this shiny surface. Bad idea.
There is a digital readout that says, Countertop is Hot but does not tell you which burner was used or is "hot". It would have been really simple to put a small light next to each burner (and controller) to identify which burner is in use. There is a tiny painted-on graphic of which burner corresponds to which controller. Again, this is not very helpful once the burner is turned off and the stove top is hot. Lazy designers? We've been designing stoves for how many decades now and little has changed since the first electric stoves were made. You'd think that by now indicator lights would be common but not yet - this would add little to the cost too. Come on folks, design a functional alert system and show that you put some thought into this. Otherwise, the stove functions as expected.

Not ready for prime time
on August 21, 2024
Posted by: SusanL
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.
