Product review (5 stars): Still love It After Over 1 Year
We got this adorable little gas range for our new place this past autumn. Our old one was on its last legs, and even though it was a full size range, we decided to opt for this 20" model. We don't plan on cooking a 20lb turkey or anything, so this was plenty big for us (though some talented soul probably could pull off a 20 pounder to perfection in this thing.)

Need More Room In Your Kitchen?

Sure, there's only 10 inches difference in the width of this one compared to a standard 30" range, but sometimes, a small variance makes all the difference in the world. Getting this compact range allowed us to rearrange our kitchen so we could fit a compact LG Washer Dryer Combo, and THAT, my friends, HAS made an E.N.O.R.M.O.U.S impact on our quality of life for sure! All of which would not have been possible without this small and mighty range! To help you visualize it, just imagine a standard range with the 2 columns of burners, on the left and right. Between them, is the empty center column, which we all basically use for spoons and trivets. Well, if you remove that center column and then squish the 2 sides together, you get this little range. But don't let the size fool you, it's still plenty spacious in there. Yes, we do have to put our large cookie sheet in sideways now, but it still fits just fine.

Inside Dimensions

This range is deeper than it is wide, and it's just as deep as a standard range; only the width has been condensed. The approximate inside dimensions of the oven are: 14"w x 19"d x 16"h. It has 2 adjustable racks, so that gives 2 levels of cooking space. Perfect for us.

Heat Accuracy & Performance

The temp dial for the oven seems pretty accurate to the actual temperature. No, I haven't measured anything scientifically, but going by instinct and compared to the other ranges I've had in my life -- this one beats them all. I learned how to tweak my other ranges up or down to accommodate for variances, but with this little guy, 400 means 400; and so on, down the line of temps. We've had this about 4 months now, and use it daily. So we have plenty of experience with it and are very happy with how it has performed for us.

Auto-Ignition Oven & Burners

It took a couple of months before I stopped instinctively reaching for a lighter to ignite the burners for my morning oatmeal. This thing has an auto ignition that does NOT require a lit pilot; not for the oven, and not for the burners. Sounds like no biggie? Guess again. Those tiny little burning pilots go a long way in heating up the entire house during a blistering summer, which in turn, makes us ramp up the A/C. So not having any lit pilots that stay on 24/7 is a huge deal. These electric ignitions work like a charm, each and every time. It took 4 months, but I've finally stopped reaching for that darn lighter.

Broiler

Yes, this does have a broiler and rack on the bottom. We haven't used it much, but like that it's there.

Oven Light

Another H.U.G.E improvement! Our old range did have a window on the oven door, but no light inside; another 'little thing' that's actually a B.I.G thing. We love being able to look inside at what's cooking without opening the oven door. We use the light all the time. Fantastic!

Bottom Line -- We LOVE our small and mighty little gas range. Amana has been around for years, so we trust our little gas range will be too. And it looks really good too. Nothing but love here for that little guy!! Thanks to him, we now get to do laundry at HOME for the first time in 25 years! Thanks little cutie; you've helped make a big difference in our lives!!
