There is one problem that we have with this. My wife and I are older and the the sound cannot be turned up high enough to hear at any distance from the range. My wife can't hear the timer go off when she is in the same room! I have it set on high and it is barely audible. Our still working original range had a nice audible beep. We did a complete kitchen remodel, otherwise we would still be using the 28 year old original. Other than that we love the range so far. We have been using it for about 3 weeks now.
