Bought this stove to replace an aging GE model with the heating elements on top.  What an upgrade!  The elements heat up so much faster!  One of the great features of this stove is the ability to only heat the size element needed to heat the cookware being used on two of the surface units. Additionally there are three more surface units one of which is for keeping food warm only.  Care has to used to prevent scratching the radiant glass top but after using an electric stove with exposed elements for years and cleaning up after a boil over or spill, the glass top wins that battle hands down!  To be honest I’ve only had limited experience using the oven but everything has worked perfectly so far.  The ovens heat up quickly and really retain the heat.  The kitchen doesn’t get nearly as warm as it did with my old stove.
