I needed a basic range as I don't cook much and this one does the job. I did the installation myself. It was quick and without any problems. All the elements work, the oven works and even the clock works. Apparently, it is programable. I have no use for it so I did not check that feature. One complaint is that it does not fit very well in the space left by the old one. I don't remember make and model of the old one, but the dimensions were almost the same. Problem is that the electrical box on this one extents a bit to the back (first photo take looking down behind the range). Thus, it bumps into the electrical cable and cannot be moved all the way in. Also, the low end of the box is a bit lower (about 1/2") compared to the previous range and that is the part that bumps into the cord (second photo). I will have to move the entire electrical box about 1" down. I am not looking forward to that work. Now that the range cannot be pushed all the way in, I cannot fully open one of my drawers (third photo). Another issue is that the bottom drawer is simply pushed in and there is nothing to hold it in place. Thus, as the electrical cord is folded in, it pushed the drawer a bit out (about 1"). Not a big deal as I can go into the drawer space and push the cord out. Much better design would be some mechanism to lock the drawer in place as the force exerted by the folded cord is small and still is sufficient to prevent the drawer from fully closing. So, OK range with a few problems.

This range works great! User friendly control panel, cook top cleans up nicely with the smooth top cleaner. The rapid boil feature is amazing and the 2-size front burner is convenient. The delivery men were extremely professional and nice. My only complaint is the oven window. For some strange reason the manufacturer thought it would be a good idea to put a white dotted covering over the oven window and it makes it difficult to see inside the oven. Why would they do this?? Even with the oven light on, it is not easy to see what's inside. If they had just left this off and left the window clear, this range would have gotten 5 stars.

Range is just ok, but I wish I would have bought something different. I don't cook much so I was looking for just a basic white stove with a smooth cook top to replace a 20+ year-old old stove that had raised burners. I've had GE appliances in the past, which were fine ... but I am a bit disappointed at how cheap this range feels, even tho it was $600+. The worst feature is the stove drawer ... it's very flimsy and looks terrible in person as there is a huge gap between the bottom of the oven door and the top of the drawer. At first I thought maybe it was not sitting correctly on the track, but apparently that is how it is supposed to be, according to the user guide. And, there are even a few spots on the edges of the drawer that are not even painted. With a quick look it seems like the paint is chipped, but then you realize it is the same on both sides of the drawer. Since getting the new range, I've used the cooktop a few times and used the oven once to bake chicken ... all of that seems to work as it should.
