I've been using my new glass-top, front-control electric range for about two months now, and I couldn't be happier with it. I chose this stove because my old one had the usual design with the control panel at the back of the unit. I never felt comfortable reaching across the tops of boiling pots in order to turn a burner up, down, off or on. This range solves that problem. The burners all heat quickly, as does the oven. The glass top is easy to clean, and I love the smooth surface (no more wobbling pots like I had with my old stove with uneven coil burners). I'm really pleased with this purchase!
