The Jury is still out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started out with a gas range 17 years ago and switched to electric for the last 14 years. I decided to go back to gas because I enjoy being able to control the temperature of items being cooked on the stove better. However, I was unprepared for how loud the oven is when the gas kicks on while it is heating up and cooking. It actually startles me every time because of how loud the sound is. I am trying to get used to 2 big, heavy grates on the cooktop rather than 4 smaller ones that are easy to put in the dishwater and clean when they get dirty. So the jury is still out on that one. The racks inside the oven that come with it appear pretty cheap compared the racks I had in the electric oven. The real test, of course, will be time. How long will it be until there is a problem with the circuit board or some other element? How long will the range actually last? It never ceases to amaze me how long our appliances used to last the farther back in time you go. My sister has a duel fuel range she bought 26 years ago and it still looks and acts like brand new. Our parents had stoves that lasted their whole lives and we are doing good to get one to last 10-15 years now. Why doesn't anyone want to make a heavy-duty quality product that will last a lifetime anymore?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blue numbers on the clock and digital screen are Terrible! Standing 4+ feet away you can hardly make out the numbers. Any further than that and it's all just a blurr, you can't see the numbers at all. The Gas oven sounds like a bomb goes off every time it ignites, scares my kids every time I Bake something. Not a fan at all, I will be replacing this appliance with a Samsung or LG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice looking stove. I have mine attached to propane and the burners are far too powerful. Even on the smallest burner at the lowest setting, food comes to a rapid boil and splatters over. In process of trying to figure out a way to decrease the intensity of the burners
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We have owned the range for two months. The oven heats up to temperature quickly and cook evenly. We are still getting familiar with the stovetop. The front burner is very hot and we must adjust temperature down so as not to burn food.
