I have been using this range for about a month and am still learning the features that are different from my previous, 32 year old, range. The burner settings seem to be lower so I have to turn those up a little. The oven settings seem to be about right. I really don't like the black finish because it shows every little speck of dust and smears and is hard to keep clean, but I could not find my original almond color. I would like it better if it was a textured finish like my black refrigerator.
