Have had the range for two years now.  This is my second DCS.  The change to these sealed burners is inferior from my previous stove which I LOVED!  Everytime I clean the burners I lose at least one (if you get the sparkers slightly wet they stop working).  No matter how careful I am at least one burner is lost with each cleaning.  Other reviewers note that the stovetop is very difficult to clean, DCS recommends only using soap and water.  You can imagine this was recommended by someone who doesn't actually cook.  I have found baking soda to work fairly well, but again it is almost impossible to not touch one of the sparkers.  My kitchen aid stainless steel barbecue from costco ($500) works better than this much more expensive DCS range.  Agree with other reviewer that the burners don't keep consistent flame when the oven is on.  Unclear why DCS has gone downhill so much.  I bought it again when I moved but clearly the product is not the same.  We won't even start about the "FREE" dishwasher that came as a promo with the range.  Has been a disaster... But like the stove LOOKS gorgeous.
