I got this new stove a month ago. I don't usually buy things new, but I cook a *lot* and I my old gas stove was on the fritz, so I went for it. Things that mattered to me were powerful burners, a broil function inside the oven, and a bottom drawer for storage. This has all of those things, and the burners are so powerful I almost never use any of them on full-blast. Bonus features I also enjoy are the ability to steam clean, the way the knobs are set up so you can't accidentally turn them to low and extinguish the flame and gas yourself for several minutes before you notice (my old stove had this problem, it was lame), and the convection feature. My only complaint is the racks in the oven have bars spaced out a little far so my external thermometer won't really stay put and sometimes gets knocked into the bottom of the oven. That's really minor. I am really pleased with this purchase!
