Awesome Appliance!

Overall, I am incredibly happy with this range. I wanted a single door, conventional oven with the broiler inside the oven instead of a separate warming drawer and 4 burners. This range is amazing, sturdy and powerful. The stainless steel is of high quality. The cast iron grates are heavy and very well built. The stainless steel is not as thin as I've noticed with other stoves. The range is very well built and a good size . It cooks just like any high end stove with a gorgeous flame. Yes, this range does not have all the bells and whistles of a high-end "chef's kitchen" inspired monstrosity, but it can out-cook anything I have ever used in the past. The burners are so powerful that I have to take it down a notch - or two and the stove top cooking is faster than ever. The larger capacity boil burner heats water so much faster that I have had to adjust how I time my other dishes that I'm making for the entire meal. I really enjoy baking and everything (cakes, cookies, brownies) comes out perfectly and they were all done in the time recommended by the recipe! There is no need to be constantly checking for the time to be re-adjusted-huge time saver! The oven does not over heat the kitchen when in use and the stove knobs do not become hot when using the oven. The storage drawer is a generous size and nice feature. The oven door opens nicely and does not spring shut which can be a safety hazard. I like that the open vents above the oven door are under the knobs control center so I won't have to worry that something on the stovetop drips and gets inside. The oven light illuminates the entire oven just not the top rack or a small portion of the oven. I have no issues with its performance.
A few cons (just really mentioning as none of them are that significant as they did not affect my 5 star rating!) The clock time goes away when the oven is running. It is a bit inconvenient. On my other stove, the clock was visible at all times, except when the timer was running. When it is preheating, it would be nice to see a count up to the temperature, so I could decide if I wanted to place an item in the oven 5-10 degrees before it reached the temperature I set. I could also see the time so if I forgot to set the timer, I knew what time it was when I put something in the oven. It is a minor annoyance and I'm sure I'll be trained to look at the other clocks in the kitchen. My other stove beeped continuously until you turned it off and was fairly loud. This one beeps at the one minute countdown which is nice and then will beep three times once it is done then it will beep every few minutes. If you are not near the stove when it goes off though you may miss it as it isn't really loud. It does not come with a broiler pan, but I had the pan from my previous stove. The black enamel top show every single speck of dirt but I'm sure that's true for all stoves. It also does not have a stove-top light like my previous stove did. I often used it to illuminate the kitchen at night so I'll use the microwave surface light instead.
Make sure you condition the oven by heating the oven on the highest temperature before use for 30 min to burn off any manufacturing residue and you get the best results from the start. I also suggest you read the user Manuel to know what to do and what not to do and how to clean it incase of any spills during cooking. Do not skip the manual.
