Customers admire the 5.8 Cu. Ft. Self-Cleaning Freestanding Gas Convection Range's spacious oven and ease of use, with many praising its sleek design and competitive price. However, some users find the grates cumbersome to clean and potentially unstable for smaller cookware. A few also reported issues with the stove knobs. Overall, the positive feedback on the oven size and user-friendliness outweighs the concerns about specific components.

The large glass door and stainless steel makes this stove look great. The grates on top are good too, though like most grates, are designed with an indent above the burners to accommodate cookware with rounded bottoms. certain small pots may "rock" on the grates because of that. After sale price and coupons, I got this range for almost half off, so this was a great value.
I wish the center burner were not actually in the center, but in the rear-center. when you have two 12" pans on the front two burners, the pans will block the three remaining burners. if the center burner were rear center, you could fit a small saucepan or something inbetween the two pans.

So very pleased with this Whirlpool gas range unit. The price for this type of unit that includes convection capability is absolutely stunning. Add in your discount certificates and you have an even more exceptional value.

It fits perfectly in our little kitchen and makes it look finished. Love the five burners! Front burners have special features to cook faster. It's very easy to clean!

I’ve had this stove for 2 years now. I paid $400 for it which I thought was a fantastic price but now I’m having a case of “you get what you pay for”. The oven door doesn’t close all the way and I’m on here now checking to see what model I purchased because all of the knobs have come off. And the writing that identifies the eyes have also all worn off. It’s okay but I would opt for something else if I could go back. I cook a lot so do think I got $400 worth out of it but I’ll be buying something different soon.

I got this oven on sale for only $600 when it normally sells for a lot more. It has 5 burners which I have yet to use all at once, but it's pretty cool. The stove top is a grate that provides a large, level surface for all your pots and pans, or cookie sheets fresh out of the oven. I haven't used the self-cleaning setting yet, but basically you pour a little water in the bottom and then scrub out the filth with a sponge thing provided. The convection setting for baking is nifty, and makes things cook a lot more evenly than a conventional oven. The back right burner is teeny tiny, so it's good for heating up delicate things that shouldn't get too hot too quickly. The front two big burners should be used carefully as they are incredibly powerful. There is definitely a learning curve when it comes to frying, so use a thermometer.

This is an awesome stove. The knobs are extremely easily turned. If you accidentally brush up against the stove the knobs will turn. Pay real close attention and make sure that you turn them off if done by mistake. The oven is spectacular. Defaults to 350 degrees and it adjusts throughout baking to make a consistent temp for the whole baking process.

We have been wanting a gas range for years, and after much research we settled on this Whirlpool 30" because it is larger in cubic feet than the normal range, and combines convection with traditional baking. It works beautifully! I love the stove top gas burners too.

I'm so happy with my new gas stove. I switched from electric and the change is amazing. The oven heats up quickly yet the kitchen doesn't get overly hot. I'm saving time cooking because my stove and burners heat evenly and quickly, HUGE difference between my new stove and my old electric stove. The only thing I don't like is it does show smudges very easily and the grates are connected so you have to lift the whole thing off to clean one area. Overall I definitely recommend this product.

Excellent stove. East to install. Especially like the simmer burner which actually allows an even gentle simmer. High output burner boils a large pot of water in just.a few minutes. Oven is huge with a large window and bright light. Not sure about the oven steam cleaning. Haven't tried it but sounds hokey.

Solid product, nice design, excellent value,e-z install. Went with Whirlpool as I've always found their products to be first rate and problem free - have a fridge, dishwasher and now gas stove. BIG upgrade from my 20 year old Roper gas stove. Only criticism is that the bottom storage drawer not very deep, only holds a few items.install team was great.

So Far So Good

I've had this range for about one month and so far I have had no issues with it. I previously had two different Whirlpool ranges in a matter of two weeks that both physically broke and had to be exchanged. I love the added burner in the middle and the convection oven feature. The fact that this model came with a griddle made the purchase a little nicer.

Was installed quickly by Best Buy technicians. We love the 5 burners and continuous grating for cooking big meals. The oven is large enough for a turkey and cassarole to cook together. I haven't used the low heat water cleaning system yet but think I will like it much better than high heat with all of the resulting smoke and odors.

We have really enjoyed this new gas range. The oven seems to be dead on with the temperature you set it at and the cleaning feature works very well as long as you catch the spills early. The stovetop works extremely well. The only criticism that I would make is that the largest burner is upfront while the smaller one is in the middle. We would prefer to have the smaller one up front. However, the large burner brings pots of water to a boil very quickly. The range fit perfectly in our counter and has worked wonderfully ever since it was installed over a month ago. We highly recommend this range!

The convection oven works great. I've cooked several meals since buying the stove about 5 weeks ago. Everything works great. I noticed the first time I turned the burners on that the dials are hard to read and the stickers on all but one are damaged. The company charges over $20 per dial to replace them.

Works great. Easy to use and bakes evenly. As a professional baker I can appreciate the accuracy of the heat distribution on this home oven. Front burners on stove top do not go low enough to simmer. Does have a simmer on back burner. Love it so far. Especially love the huge glass window!

Like the looks and the oven works wonderfully. I was not aware of how heavy the top two grates were making it difficult to clean under them. I do like the total surface being flat. Would be difficult to use the center burner, so the 5 burners are not a great selling point.
