This is the first gas range I've ever had. My husband insisted on it and I had my doubts but I do like it. The control panel is a bit hard to get used to for the oven(s) as you have to hit three buttons to turn the stove on. The bottom stove is very low, but that's the trade off for having two ovens. Th only downside to gas so far is that it is MUCH harder to clean that my old solid surface cooktop. But for speed and consistent heat, you cannot beat it!
