Product review (2 stars): Great oven, poor burners
We bought this range for a re-model as a replacement for a 30" Viking gas range; we loved the Viking's burners but hated the gas oven. With the Electrolux it is just the opposite; love the oven, hate the burners. We use propane so I know they're not going to be as hot as nat. gas, but these things are ridiculous. Compared to the Viking, these burners are under-powered and lack adjustment. As one reviewer noted, one can turn the burner knob quite a distance without changing the flame. It takes a absurd amount of time to bring water to a boil, and simmering is a joke with the exception of the largest burner. On the other hand, the oven is great, although it is slow to heat up. There is a rapid pre-heat but it is marginally quicker and I think it doesn't heat the oven thoroughly. If surface burners are important to you, I would pass on this range.
