I bought this range because I was replacing my GE range that I had for 20 + years. My old range was pretty much just like this, except for the Griddle (burner). It was a dependable one, which I am hoping this one will give me. The new range is sturdy, looks well built, and has a nice appeal to me. The new feature it has is, instead of it being a self cleaning oven, it is now a quick, "Steam-Clean" one. You just put water inside and around 30 minutes, it's clean. No more waiting 3 hours for the process to finish!
