I've been using it the past 4 days and am very pleased with this purchase. I once believed I would rather have a gas range in comparison to electrical units, but this range has totally changed my mind.

I read reviews for several days from all types and manufacturers. I paid close attention to the negative comments on this range and the only one I agree with is that it is very easy to accidentally turn on the front knobs by leaning into or brushing over them. At least one person said that the range should have a lockout feature to keep from turning it on accidentally. This range DOES have a lockout feature so I can rest assured my grandchildren won't hurt themselves. But, while I am cooking I do have to make sure I haven't accidentally changed the knob settings. I'm aware, so that is good.

There are some fun options for this range! First, I love the interior color. I know it's blue, but in my kitchen with my lighting it appears purple. And I love purple, so I am super motivated to keep Mrs. Potts (that's what I named the range) very clean. Second, instead of the old buzzing timers or beeps that alert you to various things (e.g. reaching the set temperature, timers, door/s left open) there are some fun melodic tunes which play. The volume of these can be adjusted in settings. By the way, I spent hours reading the owners manual and you should, too. How do you know what you're doing if you don't take the time to read and understand its advanced features? (I've been cooking 40 years and still learn new things.)  The range even comes with a coated sheet (with an attached suction cup) you can attach nearby to help you as you learn how to set the oven and knobs.

There are 5 burners (but one is just to be used as a warmer) and the two larger ones in front have special capabilities. The one on the left allows for two sizes of pan bottoms and features an UltraHeat Power Boil setting. The right front burner allows for three pan bottom sizes. If you don't read the instructions, you will not understand how to use the knobs for these two front burners. Their corresponding knobs cycle from one size to the next, all on the same knob.

The oven controls are located in the back panel and again, if you don't read the instructions, you will probably have a little trouble setting the temperature or timers. I learned you have to tap the timer twice if you want to plug in minutes, or only once if you are doing an hour, or more. Regarding the settings, while the oven is preheating, you cannot make any changes to the settings. It simply won't respond. It's not broken. Read the instructions.

Some complained about the accuracy of the oven temperature. I bought a portable oven thermometer and placed it in the top oven and set the temperature for 350 degrees. I was disappointed when the portable thermometer reached only 300 degrees. After reading the instructions, adjusting the calibration settings, I started by adding 15 degrees (I don't know why I couldn't select 50 degrees, but it turned out it was unnecessary.) and then retried preheating the oven to 350 degrees again. This time, when the oven reached 350, both it and the portable thermometer were in agreement! Then, it was time to check the lower oven. It needed no changes. It was perfect!

The reviews have been mixed on how hard (or easy) it is to clean the range top. Ours came with a sample sized bottle of heavy-duty cleaner and a scrubbing pad for the top and a very fancy squirt bottle for the oven. So far, I have only cleaned the top. I went to the store, found and bought the same cleaner, but in a daily strength squirt bottle. I have used it every time, according to the directions, I've cleaned up the kitchen and have found it to work great. I have not had to clean the oven yet.

I was pleasantly surprised by the bigger size of the oven. I was able to bake 2 11" X 13" enchilada dishes at the same time, on the same rack, in the smaller upper oven. Later, I wanted to try out the ability to bake on all three racks (using both ovens) so I made chocolate chip cookies. I prepared three large cookie sheets. I preheated the upper oven and then I used the convection setting on the lower oven (convection is only available on the larger, lower oven). It automatically lowered the temperature on the lower oven to allow for all three racks to cook for the same time. I put all three cookie sheets in at the same time, set the time for 9 minutes, and the cookies were perfectly baked and were all exactly alike!

I will update this review if I should come across anything that needs to be brought up later.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/LG-LDE4415ST-30-34-Freestanding-Double-Oven-Electric-Range-with-5-Cooking-Elements-in-Stainless-Steel/dp/B014CYYXF2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">LG LDE4415ST 30" Freestanding Double Oven Electric Range with 5 Cooking Elements in Stainless Steel</a>
