I haven't had a new stove since 1998. I went from store to store trying to find a stove that I liked. Stoves have certainly come a long way since 1998. I did some kitchen remodeling and decided to buy a new stove. This LG is absolutely perfect. The color of the oven is blue, which I have never seen before. The burners and the oven work well so far. I love this oven and I'm glad I made the purchase.
