We bought this after our old range broke. I'll admit that it wasn't my first choice but, due to availablity, we went with this. We love everything about it so far. The burners light really easily, the stove hearts up quickly and cooks evenly, and it just looks great. My favourite part is that the entire thing is gas (our old one had a gas cooktop but an electric oven) so it only needs a regular wall outlet and it draws much less power. We recommend it.
