Product review (1 stars): The burners will BURN your food!
When my old, trusty electric stove (that I bought used and then used it for 8 years) finally gave out, I bought this model of Whirlpool stove. There's only one thing wrong with it but, to me, it's a big deal. The burners. Until I bought this stove, my old stove and every electric stove I've EVER had would work according to the dial. (I'm only using 3 settings to keep my description simple). If you set it on Low, it would act as a warming burner. If you set it on Medium it would keep food at medium by heating up to Medium and staying there. If you set it on High, it would go to High and stay there.

With this stove, burners set to High stay on High, but this is what it does with all the other settings from Low to Med: The burners literally heat all the way up to HIGH, then turn OFF (no heat/no red) then spike all the way back on HIGH until they reach the set temp and the cycle repeats until your food BURNS. Your burners are rarely at the temp you set them to and it's very difficult to cook this way. Now when you're cooking on High or Med-High you should stay at the stove top stirring and watching that burner like a hawk, but you shouldn't have to do that with the lower temps. With this stove, I can't turn my back on it to microwave, clean as I go, empty the dishwasher, etc. I promise you that this includes the very lowest setting.

I had bought a 5-year protection warranty on it and actually called a serviceman out and he swore to me that this is how the stove was designed to act! According to the serviceman, the burners are supposed to act this way (thus burning your food). How is this an improvement over older standard burner stoves? Now this is the first cooktop stove I've owned, but I've cooked on other ones (my mother's and my daughter's) and didn't have this problem. So unless the serviceman lied to me (a distinct possibility), the technology for this stove was regressed to the very first electric stoves ever made and they probably worked better than this. Plus you get to pay today's fancy dancy prices for this piece of crap. I wish I had done more research before I made my choice, but at least you are warned...crappy burners and/or crappy service...RUN THE OTHER WAY!
