[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this stove and have been using it just under a month. Have used almost every feature and function so far and love them all. It offers the kind of conveniences you didn't realize you were missing. Finally, it's a really nice looking piece of quality equipment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had this stove/oven unit for 4 months and use it nearly every day. Heats very quickly and effectively. Stove top burners offer combination of sizes for different sized pans and cookware. Easy to clean. Grates are sized to accomodate all but the smallest of pans. The oven cooks evenly. Racks are easily moved in and out with one rack on rollers to make pull-out very easy. Bottom warming section keeps cooked items warm for serving. We have not tried to cook anything in the bottom section yet, although the capability exists. With control knobs on the front, we have to watch that we do not unintentionally push to ignite a burner or oven.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this stove about 2 months ago and I am so happy with my new stove. This stove has a professional look to it. I spent about $800 more to get this model because I wanted the all-stainless steel top and the separate baking drawer on the bottom that has a separate temperature contol. I like the large capacity oven with the easy glide rack(this is truly a great feature) and it also has a steam rack(which I have not tried yet). So far the top of the stove is easy to keep clean (I haven't tried the steam oven clean feature yet). I know a lot of people complain about the heavy cast iron grates when cleaning. It is manageable but, I would have preferred if there were more than 2 grates(should be at least 4, this way its not so heavy). I would also love for KitchenAid to make an accessory for the top of the stove to somehow cover the other burners when only using one or two of them, as it would cut down on the amount of mess and cleaning. I like that you can pick either regular bake or convection. I usually just use the regular bake, but one time I tried the convection when making a whole chicken and it worked great, it cooked the chicken in almost half the time and it came out moist. I was impressed. One thing I think they should change is that the simmer burner is in the back, I would prefer that to be in the front and the high BTU burner I would prefer to be in the back(better for boiling large pots of water). Also, when cleaning the top front glass control panel, the timer and oven controls tend to turn on, but can easily cancelled. I love to cook, so this stove is winner in my book !

Unhappy with cooktop controls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a new appliance and we have not had it very long. We use LP gas. The controls for the cooktop don't seem very responsive to me. When I go from High to Medium there is almost no change. Medium to Low changes, but Low seems more like Medium. The left front with the simmer does go much lower, but I end up almost always using that one burner to get what I consider LOW. That means I have 4 burners that only go to MEDIUM, in my estimation. I just don't get why that would be so difficult when they have a gazillion other features for the range. I use the cooktop ALL the time, the oven some of the time. I can also see that the seam in the stainless behind the oven controls is going to be a bear to keep clean. The oven seems great so far, but I've barely used it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy I chose this particular Slide-In Range. It looks just beautiful. It really makes my kitchen look upscale. It had to fit it in an existing granite counter top hole that I have and it fit beautifully. I was concerned there may be a gap in the back between the tile wall and the stove because of an existing gas pipe back there so I was prepared to use a stainless kit offered for that purpose but didn't need it after all as there was no noticeable gap. I love the burners - the 2 in the front have much more BTU than my previous range. I cooked my first roast chicken with the convention feature. The controls are so easy to use for the convention feature - there is an automatic choice that I used so it figured the right time to cook it automatically. I used that in tandem with the included wireless meat thermometer and it was right on the mark - both features said chicken was done at nearly the same time and it was juicy and delicious. The wireless thermometer was handy as I could sit out on my patio and watch it's doneness from there. I have not used the smaller baking drawer yet. My daughter talked me into buying it since she used to work as a server in a restaurant and is familiar with using one. I am going to try it tonight with rolls. The range came with an accessory - a flat grill that I didn't notice anywhere in the description. I have been using the suggested method/stainless product in the range booklet for cleaning it and has has worked great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Much hotter than our old range. Still getting familiar with "cooking with gas". It would be nice if you could order the range ready for LP gas instead of natural gas. Changing it to LP is a pain in the butt.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The range keeps setting off my smoke alarms! I have washed the interior and all grates. Read about "break in" procedures & have run at 500 degrees for an hour. When it cools, I'll wipe everything down again. Hopefully this will do the trick
