Issues mentioned include inconsistent heating, slow boiling times, and an automatic heat reduction feature that interferes with cooking. The placement of the heating element is also noted as a potential inconvenience. Improvements to the heat control system would likely enhance user experience.

So far I'm pleased with my new range. I have always had GE appliances and it was a little strange at first getting used to this whirlpool. Other than the storage draw being really flimsy, my only other complaint would be that large heating element in the front is on the left side verses the right side. That's gonna take some getting used to because I'm right handed. But overall so far it seems to be performing really well.

This stove arrived damaged. We were offered 3 options —refuse delivery, accept it as a “loaner” until another could be delivered or accept delivery with the promise of a discount. We accepted delivery and still have heard nothing frm BB The salesperson said he emailed but still nothing. Very disappointed!!!

We received the cooking range and at the end of the week i had to call service for a default light stating top range is hot. It was still on after 1 hour of cooking and range was cool to the touch. They had to replace the range as I had purchased the 5 year.
warranty.
I had to wait 3 week for delivery. I was called to schedule for delivery as the item was avaliable in the
warehouse for the following week. The date
arrived and I received a text and email for the time of schedule delivery. Well, no one showed up, no call or follow up. I called and they stated that it is still
scheduled for 3 weeks out?
I canceled my delivery and found another stove elsewhere. It was delivered the following week, prompt service and delivery.

Basic old style cooking range. Got rid of the glass top to eliminate trying to keep it clean and avoiding the need to purchase expensive cleaning supplies. Temperature control is much easier than the old glass top. Replace the silver metal pans with dark ones that are easier to clean. Had this a year and am pleased with operation and price. Not as good and sturdy as the old Kenmore ranges, but these are no longer manufacturered.

Once the center of range reaches a certain level of heat, the burner being used automatically reduces the heat, and unable to increase the heat until the stove cools down. No other can be used until the stovetop cools, disappointed with purchase.

Waited over 6 weeks for this to arrive and it was a total let down. Our fridge had arrived a couple of weeks prior with a broken bin and now our range showed up with a dent on the side which I only noticed after pulling out to try to level the range properly (techs sloppy). Then noticed the poor build quality when I took my level to the top of the control panel board as it wasn't aligned correctly with the body of the range. The sensi-temp coils are another let down. Taking forever just to boil water. Overall a bad experience ordering 4 kitchen items from BestBuy after multiple delivery appointments, long wait times, and damaged items.

Seems to cook OK. My issue is the display is nearly invisible in low light. We have to keep a flashlight on the counter to read it!

I had not bought and stove in several years, we looked at the reviews and decided to buy this one. I really love that it has 2 big burners and 2 small ones. The oven is a good size as well.
