For over 30 years we had an electric stove with ceramic sealed burners.   They took forever to heat up and forever to cool down.  I just love having a gas stove back in the kitchen.   This Frigidaire is really beautiful.  I just wish the power cord was a lot longer than it was.  It wouldn't hurt to give some extra length to allow for every situation.  I had an old style big outlet low on the wall behind the stove, but this stove came with a basic grounded plug that was about 2 feet short of my power outlet nearest power for 3 prong.   I had to use an extension cord. Also the directions for setting the timer weren't clear and I finally just tried different things until I found how it worked.
