Our Whirlpool oven was starting to fall us after 20 years (parts were no longer available)  This oven is simple and I think it might be easier to use.  I was able to install it myself (save money).  We bought the service contract for 5 years.  It has really paid for our washer/drier/refrigerator.  So far we like the light in the oven.  On our old oven the light was not as bright.  The store we bought the Oven recommended GE.  We also paid extra for buying a convection oven.  We bought the oven at a local appliance store.  They have a good service department.
