The flat top style is new concept for me so there was a little bit getting used to it to do. Now Now that I'm familiar with it I've come to like it more than my old electric coil range. The burner controls seem very responsive and the levels of heat seem very accurate. The control panel is basic and straight forward to use. The oven temperatures seem accurate. It would have been nice if it had an electric outlet on the panel. Overall, I'm enjoying it!
