Our old stove only had 4 burners and now we have 6 which give me a lot more options (i.e. cook more pots or use the griddle). It used to take me up to 45 minutes to boil water on our old stove and now it takes me up to 15 min! The look and feel of the stove is really nice and it feels very durable. The oven doors are solid as well as the knobs. Love the dual oven as we had never had one before. It uses less energy (i.e. not taking as much time to heat up water, not heating up a big oven) so our bill has gone down.
