I wish I would of done more research as to buying a stove with the elements. I returned my ceramic glass stove I purchased cause I couldn't use most of my pans. This stove has some features that are missing which I wish I had. It's missing a clock and when I preheat the oven it doesn't tell me when it reaches the right temperature

Easy reach upfront controls. Replaced identical model with rear controls. Not many models to choose from with electric cook-top, self-cleaning, and upfront controls. Great model for anyone having difficulty reaching to the rear, over burners.
