Product review (4 stars): Good looking, mostly well-designed
I recently purchased this 24" gas range at a local warehouse sale.
I really like this range. I have had none of the ignition problems that the other reviewer had. I only have to press the igniter button for a second, and hold the burner knob in for 1-2 seconds for the burners to stay lit, maybe 3 seconds for the oven burner to stay lit. The top burners did need to be adjusted as the the low setting was running too hot, but that was really easy to do.
When we initially did a test run of the oven I felt like the front console got unusually and unnacceptably warm, at least in comparison with my old bottom-of-the-line Tappan. I've used the oven a few times now and haven't noticed it since that first time.
The oven rack does have a raised lip that is odd to me. I checked the manual and it's installed per the illustration. I tried it flipped over and nearly spilled the dish so back to the normal position it went. It's not a dealbreaker, and I'll easily get used to lifting instead of sliding.
It's great to finally have a range with a window and light.
I didn't set out to buy a Blomberg appliance - had never heard of the brand prior to purchase - but it's been great so far.
