Product review (1 stars): I agree with other reviews - BUYER BE WARNED!
Let me preface this by saying that I did not buy this range through Amazon. I bought it through a high-end appliance store, which is even more disappointing. How any qualified salesperson can sell this range to someone and still sleep at night is beyond me.

The disappointment started Day 1 of using this range. It has an absolutely terrible chemical smell that off-gassed for two weeks. We had to keep all of the windows in the house open to try to rid our home of the smell (thank goodness it was summer  note to self: never buy a new range in the winter!). I felt a whole-body response to this, including watery eyes. I guess it didn't really matter much that we used no VOC paint and other environmentally friendly elements in our new kitchen just to install this toxic piece of garbage. Most large corporations have no regard for the health impacts to consumers of their products. I will forever find that sad and inexcusable. Upon doing research, the KitchenAid website and manual say to remove pet birds from the house because of the very off-gassing that we experienced.

Another thing we noticed on Day 1 was the awful shrill high-pitched sound of the exhaust fan. It runs constantly when the oven is on. The store that we purchased it through sent a repairman and he told us the fan noise was perfectly normal. A company that produces whisper-quiet dishwashers created an exhaust fan that can be heard throughout the house? We had a guest staying with us and when I turned on the oven, she rushed up from the DOWNSTAIRS guest bedroom to ask what the terrible sound was. KitchenAid should be sued for the terrible quality and poor design of this range.

The oven takes 20-30 minutes to heat up to 350 degrees and higher. The heat on the burners is inconsistent and so is cooking in the oven.

I really cannot think of one thing we like about this range. We run our overhead fan when using the oven so that we can try to mask the shrill sound of the exhaust fan. We won't be hosting any gatherings where we would have to have the oven on for an extended period of time  including Thanksgiving. And this is from someone who used to love to slow-roast in the oven. You can remodel your kitchen, but if you end up with garbage appliances, it ends up being a room of the house you don't enjoy being in.

Negative reviews can often be difficult because my question is always  NOW WHAT? It seems so many appliances on the market disappoint and fail customers who invest a great deal of money and trust in the manufacturers. My only advice would be to research non-slide-in ranges. Weve heard that the exhaust fan is so loud because the controls are on the front and overheat easily. We also anticipate this to be the reason this unit eventually fails 2-4 years from purchase (knock-on-wood). Also, weve heard that most, if not all, electric ranges have these issues, so perhaps researching gas ranges would be better as well. We have friends with gas ranges and all are whisper quiet. Good luck!
