Now this is strictly a male point of view.  When our gas stove finally gas stove finally gave up the ghost. we went shopping for a replacement.  This was a sobering event!  I hadn't realised how much costs had increased over the last 20 years!  Holy smoke - choices!  Different styles and options, colors, self cleaning and even wi-fi!  Finally, willing to agree to just about anything, I said, okay, I will go with the LG 5.8 cu ft with a griddle.  I chose well! This thing is like a battleship!  It is now an imposing centerpoint in our kitchen.  Tell you what, I love the griddle, self-cleaning function, and finely adjustable gas jets,  No doubt about it - this is a man's stove!  I think we could just about cook and ox in this thing!  My wife appreciates that my decision to purchase our LG stove was an act of a discerning husband!
