Good entry level gas range
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a good entry level gas range with some nice features (griddle and stainless steel finish). However, theer are a few "little" items that I think could be better. 1) You can see insulation through the vents in the door on the oven. Not a big deal, but when you get a nice looking stainless steel range, you would like the little things to look nice too. 2) The burners sometimes will not light on the first try. I have to play with the loose diffuser on the top and then they will light. 3) Being it is a new product, one would think that it would not put off as much heat when you use the oven, but it does. Overall, not a bad product, but not a good one either. It will do what you want it to, but if you put in a little more money, I think you will get a little better product.

Very happy with this range
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this range for 5 months & am very satisfied. It's easy to operate & clean. The center burner is really nice with the griddle on it. The teflon-coated grates still look good. All my baking came out great. I believe the oven temp is spot- on whatever it's set at. The main things I was looking for in a range was a broiler drawer & heavy cast iron grates that are not painted/enameled/porcelained. This was the only one that fit the bill for me. I was disappointed that I didn't have much of a choice, but this range is perfect for me. I do wish I could set the burners to simmer lower than they allow,like my old pilot light range, but I think that's just how it is with electronic ignition, unless it has a special low simmer burner. That wasn't high enough priority for me to reject this range. I just stir more frequently. The only other problem, which I consider minor, is the cheapo broiler rack that you can hear warp with a clang whenever the oven gets hot.I never put food directly on that rack, I use my own broiler pan to put onto that one. It works fine & the food broils up great. I prefer broiling to pan frying & my old range had a broiler drawer, so that was high priority. Do not store anything in this drawer! Even if just the oven is on, it still gets hot. You can broil & bake/roast at the same time, but the broiling will take a little longer because you're using the oven temp instead of the high (525) broiling temp. It's a shame broiler drawers are getting hard to come by. Most ranges now broil from the top of the main oven part because of the self-clean feature. I never wanted a self-cleaning oven because they get too hot, so why pay for it? I think this range is a good deal, because I got what I wanted without having to go high-end & having to pay for a bunch of features I don't need. However it looks kind of high- end because of the continuous grates that stick up from the cook-top more than usual. This makes it easier to move pots around & to clean & to see the flame under a pot. I cook almost every day & bake frequently & have no problems with this basic range.

looks nice but not user friendly
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i got this oven because it has 5 burners, and a griddle can go in the middle but i didnt realize how far the grate are from the actual gas and which causes the cooking process to take longer and the burners are too close which causes the pots to touch and food to cook uneven when using more than one burner on the same side as well as the pots touch the control panel when on the back burner. if you are not using any large pots u should be fine. i would rather have grates more enclosed in the stove top and the burners spaced a little father apart buit other than that it cooks.

Style, Function, Price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this range when I bought a old house and needed to replace the original cooktop that came with my 1964 house. This range looks and works great. The style is as good or better than more expensive ranges. The controls are appropriate and easy to operate. I wish it had a self-cleaning option. In addition, the middle burner is a little too narrow for preparing anything substantial. All things considered, this range is worth it's value.

DON'T BUY THIS OVEN
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I checked the ratings before we purchased. Since the overall rating was over 3 stars, we thought it would be good. This oven was on sale and my son (who likes to cook) thought the griddle would be great. It's not! The griddle is beveled up on the cook surface, the edges should be beveled up! He went to make an egg, which on a normal flat surface will stay, on this it rolled right off. This was not the biggest problem. Only one side is power burner, if you want to boil two things using the back burners, which is what I do because I have small children, the right side won't boil only simmer! This stinks! Also, you can't fit to two frying pans on the same side, there isn't enough room and the front pan hangs over the edge. The handles heat up terrible because of the funky high double grates. We did not buy the self-cleaning oven because it did not have the griddle, but the griddle is basically useless and can only cook grilled cheese sandwhich on it. You can't grill veggies, which is why we wanted it because of the way the griddle bevels up on the cooking surface. Stay far, far away from this stove!!

Love this range!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best buy I've made in years. My previous oven was bigger, suppose to cook faster, yadda yadda...but this one is great! Read the reviews and made the purchase. Have used the center griddle for weekend breakfasts, love it! Have baked in it, made roasts, heated casseroles, etc. It cooks even, love the setting that it lets you know when the oven has reached the temp you need. The glass is clear, the light is bright you can see in great!

Nice cheap stove
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a cheap good looking stove. The griddle option is nice. This stove get dirty really quick. I clean it after every use but the oven still built up dirt irremovable dirt after only about four uses. The burners on the stove are cheap and they got burnt after the first use. I guess you will get what you pay for. It works well but I don't think it is designed for any kind of use or abuse.

Oops, I bought a Whirlpool
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so focused on a unit with 5 burners that I overlooked the product is a Whirlpool. I have not had luck with this manufacturer in the past and try not to buy their product b/c of their customer service and the product doesn't tend to last as long as others. Because this was a special order product it was delivered through Whirlpool, not Best Buy. It got lost and nobody could locate it which was extremely frustrating. We didn't even have the unit and we were having problems. Once it was finally delivered, a switch was never flipped so the oven wouldn't work. We had to have a warranty job on something we hadn't even used yet. The customer service through Whirlpool is awful. The unit has been good so far and it looks great but it's not worth the bad attitude and sarcasm if you have a question or a problem. Even if this unit works for 20 years and I love it, I will never buy Whirlpool again.

LOVE MY NEW STOVE
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had been looking for this "look" in a stove for many months. When I saw this stove on sale @ Best Buy I fell in love with it. It is an inexpensive stove so I was not expecting much. I was very impressed with what I got for my money. A self cleaning feature would have been nice , but I have had self cleaning ovens in the past and ended up never using it anyway.

Underwhelmed with performance
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The stove looks great. However, the burners max at at 8,000 BTU on the "power burner". The others are 7,000. Takes over 30 minutes for a pot of water to boil for pasta. Then, it never reaches a rolling boil. Also, I was expecting a gas burner to be highly adjustable. The flame height barely adjusts as you turn the knob down. Rather than a steady adjustment from high to low, it seems to step down across 4 heights. Even then, it is almost indistinguishable. I don't care for the broiler either. Hard to move it from below the oven. Had it inspected by the repair guy and he said it is what it is. This one's going back to the store. Going to upgrade to a different model.

No Power
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had no idea this thing was so underpowered. 8000btu is about half of what everyone else was selling. If I wasnt so caught up in the looks and price, I never would have purchased.

Love It! Looks like expensive models
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This range looks a LOT more expensive than it was, mostly because of the cast iron burners. The cast iron looks way better than the normal steel. The fifth burner fills up the entire stove top and looks great. The only down side is that I had to call Best Buy to send me a new front upper pannel because the stainless finish was not consistent. As long as that comes in, this is a great buy!
