Product review (4 stars): If you can't get a gas range...
...this one will do. I've always used gas ranges but we couldn't hook up gas at our new house for various reasons so we had to go with an electric stove for the first time. After researching for quite some time, we settled on this model.

PROS:
*The oven preheats quickly (7 minutes or less) and maintains consistent temps...essential for bakers like myself
*The coils are spaced very close together for even heat
*Ceramic coating on the drip pans makes for easy cleaning.
*Temps get high enough to use a wok, which is uncommon with electric ranges
*Alarms and other "beeps" can be heard easily without being shrill
*Controls are on top rather in front where they get spilled on and accidentally bumped while cooking.

CONS:
*The oven light does not turn on automatically when the oven door is opened
*It doesn't meet Energy Star requirements for energy efficiency (if that's important to you)

So in all, it's a decent stove compared to a gas range. It also has the best features (like self-cleaning, which isn't always available on "cheaper" models) for the price based on what I researched.
