Product review (4 stars): Good Quality Basic Stove!
I recently purchased this range, and am very satisfied. It is a good quality, simple, straightforward cooking stove, with no "bells & whistles" to complicate the matter (and reduce the lifespan).

It is an "open" range, which means that, yes, some spills can collect under the top, but there is an excellent pan underneath to collect them, and it makes for an easy-clean range top.

The only improvement I can see to make is that you need to turn the burner knob to the highest setting to start. Then, to turn down to simmer, you are at risk of accidently turning it off . . and then you must try again. I'd prefer to have the piezo igniter click on when you first turn it to high, then have a hard-stop at the lowest "on" end of the settings. Hence, 4 stars, not 5.

Overall, though, this is a great, basic range from a good company for not too much money.
