You definitely get what you pay for.  Can't tell you how many stoves I have used over the years but I can say this "This stove is by far the Best stove I have ever cooked with"  We are so glad we purchased this product.  Just one example of how well this stove cooks: I have a hand hammered Wok I have had for over +20 years, just made my Steak Stir Fry and it was the 1st time the Wok actually worked the Correct way. The 2 burner worked so well.  The Oven is Great also... Best stove I have ever used!!!
