still learning the ins and outs of the range. Nice to have smart controls as it will let me know when the oven is preheated. There are also safety functions so you don't accidently preheat the oven when not intended. It will notify you when your timer is up as well. Used the meat probe on a loaf and turned out perfect. Gas stove top (LP converted) is nice, some of the burners are multi function (simmer all the way to a quick boil and the center can be used as a circular burner or the elongated burner if you want to use the included cast iron griddle plate / reversible grill plate
