Bought this range after considering many more expensive models for our kitchen rehab.  It fits our lifestyle and cooking habits perfectly, from the instantly controllable heat on the brass burner cooktop to the variety of burner heat capacity, it has been a marvelous addition to our kitchen.  I love the ease of cleaning around the burners due to the one piece surround porcelain cooktop.  We also got the grill/griddle plate and it has been easy to keep seasoned with every use.  The oven is wide enough for my largest sheet pans and it holds temperature to perfection.  It is very predictable in cooking times when baking or roasting.  It is also a gorgeous piece of kitchen "art"  It and the hood/chimney work very well together.
For the price paid, we believe it to be one of the best values available.
