Our kitchen is all white, so we loved this white range the minute we saw it. Our other stove lasted 25 years, so it was nice to get a new one with modern features such as built in timer and digital temperature settings. The area under the burners is all one piece, so there is no place for overspills to seep down and cause a problem. The burner dials must be clicked into place to turn on, so there is no accidental turning on by a child. I like the lit up digital clock on the stove also.
