we purchased appliances ahead of the actual work of a kitchen update, which afforded us the time to research our options. this range has all the features we were looking for to replace our previous gas cooktop and electric wall oven. the burner output is substantially higher than the old cooktop, with more and more versatile burner options. it is also much easier to clean the inevitable spills. we like the angle of the control panel, as it is a good compromise between vertical and horizontal layouts. the oven has worked great, though we haven't yet had time to explore all modes. overall, we're very pleased with this range, and would purchase again, and recommend to friends and family. we received compensation for this review but the review is my own.
