When I remodeled my kitchen, I had limited space for all my appliances and so downsized every single one of them, including my stove.  How often did I ever fill even half of a full sized oven up?  Never!!  So I ordered this 24" stove and never looked back.  It has a very simple, clean look to it. The controls are on the front, just in case I need that as I age.  It's very simple to operate.  All the necessary controls, but no bells or whistles to break down or need repair.  The one thing that thew me was the "steam clean" feature.  I haven't used it yet, but really, it's just putting water in the bottom and turning the stove on low.  No fancy self-cleaning cycles or locked doors or anything. It's perfect for me and my space.  I love it!
