Product review (5 stars): Great value in a range-wonderful cooktop power and even baking in the convection oven
I had this range installed about 6 months ago. It replaced a nine year old Frigidaire gas range which was generally satisfactory but I was always frustrated with the lack of speed of the burners, despite the fact that it had what was, at that time, about the highest BTU burners available on a regular gas range.  Water took ages to boil, and with pasta, it almost never came back up to a real boil before the pasta got soft and stuck together without the benefit of a proper boil.

This new one has a more "pro-style" appearance, much sturdier iron grates, and wow, the burners! The 11,000 BTU burner in the old one has morphed into a 17,000 BTU in the right front, and the next more powerful one is 15,000 BTU in the left rear.  That means the fastest burner is nearly 50% more powerful than the old one, and boy, does it show!  Water boils so quickly I can scarcely believe it.  I can stir fry in a wok! There is a long oval center burner that I've not had occasion to use.  The grate for it can be replaced with an included griddle, for pancakes, eggs and bacon, and more.  I expect it will be very useful for making my Thanksgiving turkey gravy.  The roasting pan will fit very nicely on it.

The convection oven is terrific, but I have found it takes longer to preheat than the beep would indicate.  I've no idea why I would want a "pizza" setting, however. I've not tried the broiler as I use an outdoor grill, but I expect it would work as well as any gas broiler, moderately well.  I've also not yet the need to use the self cleaning cycle but as it worked very well in the old range I expect it will do so with this one. I love to bake and have found the convection oven allows me to actually bake three pans of cookies at a time very evenly.  I expect to put the flexible half shelf to use this Thanksgiving, stacking the stuffing and vegetable casserole to the side of the turkey, and that will give me a chance to try out the temperature probe (and undoubtedly the self cleaning feature!).

My only caveat about the rack that pulls out when the oven is opened is to be careful of it.  It must be the lower rack, and it will make it easier to burn your hands as it is raised up higher than the oven door when the door is open.  Just be aware of it, and know that you can disable this feature if you choose to.

I feel that there is excellent value in this gas range, and as an avid and skilled cook and baker, I'm enjoying it to the max.  I paid about $900 for it.  A great price for an excellent range. I cannot imagine how a range costing twice as much could improve my cooking. I couldn't be happier!
