There was nothing wrong with my Kenmore range that was manufactured in 1999. Then a glass jar fell from the cabinet above my range and cracked the glass cooktop.
Turns out it was a good time to be in the market for a new range. As soon as I saw the Frigidaire with the pizza stone, that was it. Plus Consumer Reports rated the Frigidaire induction range highly; this is basically the same model with the crazy pizza accessories.
Delivery was smooth except they didn’t know how to work the stovetop, Despite having read the manual four times prior to delivery, I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the elements on the cooktop. The manual doesn’t have a step-by-step for this, which is annoying; also none of the videos I found online show how to work the stove. It’s all about the Neapolitan pizza function — which seems cool, but mostly I use the cooktop.
So to turn on an element:
1. Put an induction pot on an element.
2. Hold down the power button on the cooktop.
3. Wait for the controls for the element to appear.
4. Touch the On button.
5. Select the level.
If you don’t touch the On button, the element controls will turn off and the heat won’t come on. It took me a couple tries to coordinate operation of the stove.
Once I figured out how to use the cooktop, WOW!! The power boost to boil water is freaky fast — so fast I don’t use it because I’m afraid of warping my stainless steel pots! Mostly I stay at four or below when cooking (4 out of 10, that is). Pasta cooks so fast even at four. Since the heat is so low, I don’t realize the water is boiling. I have to pay more attention so I don’t overcook pasta. Another thing to get used to. Overall, It’s amazing how little heat the stove generates. Everything cooks so fast!
The thought of a stove without knobs scared me, but pulling off the knobs to clean them every month is now a thing of the past! Just wipe the cooktop with some Cerama Bryte or Weiman’s cooktop cream and boom, you’re done! Cleanup is a breeze! The stainless steel is also easy to clean; I like Weiman’s stainless steel wipes.
I’ve only used the oven a couple times to heat up cookies. I love the control menu and I’m looking forward to using all 15 functions. I do find I bump the oven controls easily but I’m getting about that. One thing that sold me on this convection oven over others is the double housing over the fan to reduce noise. I still haven’t made my two-minute pizza; I’m actually more excited about steam bake, air fry, and…air sous vide.
This oven doesn’t come with an air fry rack. For about $55 you can get one on Frigidaire.com or Amazon. I say definitely get the air fry tray; unfortunately BestBuy doesn’t seem to sell them.
Some reviewers have said the pizza accessories don’t fit in the drawer; mine did, but I put in the pizza stone first, then the pizza shield facing down. There’s a demo video on YouTube where they show you how to fit the accessories in the drawer, but they didn’t do it like I did.
I love my new Frigidaire range. It’s beautiful. I want it to last a long time like the old Kenmore. Therefore, I no longer keep jars in the cabinet above my range; it’s now used for Tupperware. Also I got a silicone mat to protect the glass cooktop when I’m not using it.
I definitely recommend this range if you’re wanting an induction model. This is my first induction range and I’m never going back!

Love my new stove. Big learning curve. Only one major problem. I can not see the markings on top of the stove top. The on off button has been the most challenging. Please advise me how I can enhance the white color. Purchased a protective cover to reduce scratching. It is impossible to use it although it is transparent.
