My wife wanted a black oven, I wanted stainless steel. This color combo had us both happy! We previously had a glass cooktop oven & it would take a LONG time to cool down. Was also a pain to keep the glasstop clean. These burners are great, they have the pushdown sensors on them... good feature. She didn't want a convection oven  but this regular one cooks very well. When done the top cools down quickly.
