Product review (5 stars): Best value for money.
This is the best range I've ever owned. I've had it for just a bit over a year now; we purchased this after moving into a new home to replace the existing electric cooktop. We principally use cast iron for cooking, which doesn't perform nearly as well on electric ranges as it does over gas. Previously I'd used a 5-burner, in-counter GE Profile range with an enamel finish on both the cooktop and the pot stands with a separate wall-mounted electric oven.

Here are the primary reasons I really like this product:

First, the amount of space on the cooktop beats anything else available in a 30" width. I personally don't use the central burner very much, except very occasionally as a warmer when preparing large meals, but the presence of that central burner means that the other burners are moved outward somewhat, which means that each primary burner has room for larger pots. I can have a large stock pot and a 13" cast iron skillet side-by-side on the front burners and still have the back burners usable for pans up to about 10".

The griddle that comes with the stove is made of teflon-coated aluminum, which I prefer not to use. Instead, for a griddle, I have a large piece of 5/16" steel plate with a rim and a pair of handles welded to it which I place across both burners on the left hand side, which can be adjusted to put out about the same amount of heat. When well-seasoned, this plate beats basically any griddle you can buy in terms of heat stability and evenness of cooking.

Speaking of seasoning, the cast-iron pot stands are another one of my favorite features. As I mentioned before, previously I'd had a stove with enamel-coated pot stands, which were forever looking grimy and scratched easily in cleaning. The cast-iron stands, however, season up like any other cast-iron implement and don't show stains at all. As with most cast iron, never wash these with soap; simply use a rough scrubbing pad and hot water to remove any spills or spatters.

Similarly, the stainless steel cooktop cleans up great. I just wipe it down every few days with a rag, give it a spray or two of stainless steel cleanser, wipe it off and it looks as good as the day it was purchased. I haven't had any trouble with scratches. I'm sure it would be possible to cook spills on to this surface if you really tried, but if you clean up after cooking there's no issue.

Contrary to some reports that I read when purchasing the range, all of the front knobs *do* come off for cleaning. They come off by pulling directly out, without twisting; it is, however, a little hard to get a sufficient grip on them because of their shape. After taking them off a couple of times, though, they come off quite easily.

The double oven feature is also great; the lower oven is good for pizzas or roasting hors d'ouvres (bacon-wrapped meatballs and bacon-wrapped dates are common in our house) and I use the oven for baking bread and making roasts using the probe on a weekly basis. The temperature control is excellent and the probe-based cook option makes doing a perfect pork shoulder roast as simple as turning the oven on and setting the probe to 155F.

Finally, while this won't make a difference to many, it's even relatively straightforward to take this range apart. I was forced to do so after a mouse that had gotten in to the house through the new hole that we'd drilled for plumbing the gas pipe to the stove climbed up into the range and expired after touching an ungrounded transformer behind the instrument panel. To clean up the mess, I had to completely remove the back, sides, and top of the stove, the instrument panel housing, and more. It was a bit of a job, but the whole thing is put together with torx screws and as long as you keep track of your steps and label everything carefully all the pieces will just lift apart, giving you full access to all of the components should you need to access to replace anything (or get in to deal with a mouse corpse.)
