Not ready for prime time

[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.

Good but needs one change

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced a 30 yo GE range. Appears to be a close replacement but wish the reminder tones were either louder or adjustable high/low like washers/dryers as the reminder tones aren't loud enough, especially if there is other noise nearby.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bottom drawer is “sprung” and does not fit squarely into the space. The drawer sits 3/8” lower on one side and sticks out 3/8” from the stove on the dropped side. If the dropped side is pushed up, the other side drops down and sticks out. Drawer is definitely not square.

Disappointed, Would not buy again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Because we like the coil-electric stoves and not the glass top ones, we bought this sight unseen. Our color choices were white or stainless steel. We chose stainless steel, only to realize upon delivery that the range is black, with some silver trim pieces. Very disappointing.
The range itself works fine, but the knobs that control the burners are completely opposite of what you would normally expect. The off position is at 6 o'clock and you turn the knob counterclockwise to go from Low to High Temp.
The stovetop is difficult to clean because there is a ridge all the way around it that makes it nearly impossible to remove and crumbs or debris from cooking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
