I wasn't really interested in getting an electric range, but our gas range was not dependable and emitting CO.  My wife insisted we get an electric range.  I always desired to see the flame and know the amount of heat I was getting.  May daughter just purchased a GE electric range and encourage me to do so.  Now that I have one and have used it, I am impressed with it evenness and dependability of heat. So now my wife is happy and I am happy.
