We had to trash our expensive big name range after only 3 years because the oven would no longer light and the top burners were starting to fail. I discovered that other people I know also had to replace their digital ranges. The warranty had just run out and repairs were horribly expensive. So I had decided to get an old fashioned and reliable range. Not an easy thing to find. However I found just what I wanted in this range.  The flame seems to be hotter so I can cook and bake quicker on lower settings and save on fuel and time. Love that! The sealed burners make cleanup easier.  The stove top surface finish is fantastic. Spills and such come right off without scrubbing or special cleaners other than dishwater. The low-cost was definitely a positive too. I am extremely pleased,  praising and recommending this range to EVERYONE! I wish I can add photos (but I can't. Keep getting error msg.) We look so beautiful in my kitchen. Thanks so much for such a great product.
