Product review (5 stars): Everything I need including a low price!
When we found that we were going to replace a washer/dryer, range and refrigerator all at the same time, price quickly became one of the top 5 priorities. I purchased mine at a home improvement store during their rebate drive for major appliances. (so I can't rate this seller) In speaking with the sales person I found that if you are into canning, a smooth surface is not for you. ( I also fry in a cast iron Lodge = high heat) He owns one and said that while they love the look of the smooth, clean-up can be an issue - say with boiled potatoes over flowing. Those two scenarios are the reason I chose a standard coil element.

At first I wanted a self cleaning oven, however, I only use the feature once a year as I live by the old rule of clean as you go. So the extra $$$ for the feature was put to better use on another appliance. I bake/broil about 4 times a week and have not had any issues with simple clean up of the oven. We were not fans of the plastic knobs and almost purchased a Frigidare for the same price that was sitting right next to it, until we opened the oven door. This range has much more heft in the handle and opening mechanism (since I use my oven this is a key item) and the oven view larger. So we opted for this model and we deal with the knobs and the cheap drip pans( I can buy those)

I prefer a gas range BUT I have to say the response time for heat up and cool down is excellent on all the elements of this model. When boiling you do not need to remove the pot should you come close to overboil, turn it down, wait and then replace the pot. Same with the oven. The broiler is fantastic, heats up quickly and steaks are done in just a few minutes. Broiler is within the oven, not the bottom drawer, which I prefer.

It has the basic features of an oven timer, oven light, glass door, 2 large/2 small burners, bake and broil. I paid $359.00 and had it delivered and set-up the next day. We purchased it in black, which is actually not any harder to keep streak-free than the white. All-in-all, thumbs-up great baseline stove AND it's made here in America.
