We have had this range for several months now, and I've been pleased with the range's performance and the oven. I had been a little worried that we wouldn't like cooking with a gas oven, but I've seen no difference between a gas oven vs an electric oven. The cooktop is large at 48" and I like that everything is at the same level so I can easily move a pan/pot from one burner to another by sliding it over. I had read some reviews that the dials get hot when the oven is in use, and they do get hot, but not so hot that I or my grandchild would burn themselves so this hasn't been a concern.
