Although I do not do a lot of cooking in my household I do do a little. I find the top of the range very easy to use, I especially like the  rapid boil feature. I haven’t had a chance to use the oven yet, but my wife assures me it is very good. I like the simple layout of the controls and found them very easy to master. Overall I am very pleased with the range and would recommend it. My only negative to date is I would improve the backlighting for the controls as from time to time it can be difficult to see.
