Well, it looks good, just like the online pictures. I wondered why I couldn't find actual models of ranges I was seeing online. Once this one was delivered I understood. The tin feeling this range has over my former range of 22 yrs makes me wonder just how long this one will last. But then the economy is fueled by replacing items more frequently, doesn't it. On the flip side I may have opted to spend more on better quality, unless they are all made the same these days.
Even though the range is the same size, the drawer is much smaller...and seems to made of tin. Nothing sturdy about it. When I move pans on the stove top you hear a very tin sound as well. It cooks very fast so I assume the conductively is grounded in lighter material.
It's annoying to have to hit start for the oven and timer to start. I also wish the timer counted down in seconds as sometimes you need to cook an ingredient for 30 seconds.
I start baking cookies this week, so can't wait to see how that goes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new oven ruined our Thanksgiving meal. It worked fine for the first three hours and then decided that it would no longer heat. We tried turn off and turn on, tried resetting the breaker, tried the broil setting, nothing worked.
No one was excited about raw turkey and cold green casserole.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear your oven stopped heating especially during the Thanksgiving holiday. We know you said you tried resetting the breaker, if you haven't kept it off for at least 2 minutes, please try that. If you still have issues with the oven not heating, reach out to our Bodewell service team by calling 1-833-426-3393 M-F 8:00-8:00 EST.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Food cooks evenly as advertised and preheats very fast. Love the 5th burner for keeping food warm. A pot of water boils in just a couple of minutes. Make sure you run your oven on 350 for at least 15 minutes before using for the first time to get rid of chemicals. Display and buttons/knobs are easy to use and there's plenty of room inside and out for cooking. Cooked plenty of food for Thanksgiving with ease.
