Product review (4 stars): Quality Item
I have had this range for a few weeks and am quite satisfied with it.  I do not find it difficult to keep clean. However, the glass touch controls always seem to have fingerprints, and you must shut down the panel to clean it without engaging all the functions. To power boil, the burner requires a 12" or larger pan. After purchasing, I read that it takes approximately one half hour to heat up the small lower oven. What? I thought it would be great for a small dish, but it certainly is not a time saver.  Eventually I will use it when I need the space, or for warming. I do love the griddle and find it works very well. I'm just getting used to the convection baking. It is terrific to be able to put in three cookie sheets of Christmas cookies at once with even baking or three pizzas, etc. My Thanksgiving turkey convection roasted to a nice golden brown and was very juicy. My biggest problem was finding that the delivery men did not pull off all of the plastic protective covering from the surface.  We had to take screws loose from the back of the range top to release this strip of plastic.  If I hadn't noticed it before I first used the oven, the heat from the oven would have melted it and caused a big mess with fumes. The oven will indeed smell dreadful the first time you bake with it regardless (mentioned in manual). Allow for ventilation that day! Although the panel behind the control knobs gets pretty warm, I haven't found it to be a problem, but I agree you might need to use caution with little ones.  I haven't broiled anything yet and am looking forward to that. All in all, I made just the right choice for me and am very pleased.
