What's great about it: Expandable burner
What's not so great: Top tends to get dirty and stays that way if you don't keep on top of it
Does a nice job as advertised. Particularly like the one expandable cooking surface. We have a large frying pan and heats the thing evenly and entirely. Keep the "top" clean, tends to NOT look good if you don't keep on top of it! Good value for a good product.
This product is or has... A clear see-thru window, A large capacity, Easy to use controls

What's great about it: the big burner option
What's not so great: nothing.
We really do like this oven. One of the very first things we did was eat corn on the cobb to try the bigger burner and it worked great!

What's great about it: After learning curve, use is simple.
What's not so great: Nothing so far.
This Range is an excellent value for the price, especially with free delivery and disposal of the old Range. Delivery was within the specified time frame and the two delivery men were, neat, courteous, and professional. They had the New Range installed and the old one out in less than 30 minutes. This unit has all the features of the more expensive units at a reasonable price.
Cooktop: This is our first glass top range and after having it only a short time, I have to say it’s definitely better than the coil models. Any food that leaves the pan doesn’t fall into the burner to smolder while you’re cooking. Spills are easy to clean while still cooking with just a paper towel. Elements heat fast and evenly, burners are well placed to accommodate a variety of pan sizes. Love the variable size settings on the large burner. Took a little bit to get used to the cleaning but it turns into a habit.
Oven: For some reason the oven seems much larger than my old one of the same size. Preheat time is normal for its size, and the audible beep is helpful when it reaches temperature. Very happy with the multiple rack locations (6) as it makes cooking multiple dishes easy, especially around the Holidays when you’re trying to keep a lot of dishes warm. The Auto On/Off features are wonderful with a bit of a learning curve, I actually wrote a short document so we didn’t have to keep flipping through the manual. After using the features 2 or 3 times we threw it out. Haven’t used the Self-clean option yet so I won’t comment on it. Oven window is large enough to see everything cooking and the light does it’s job.
Controls: Burner control knobs are easy to read and have a solid, well-built feel to them. Oven and timer controls are well placed and after using them for a while they become second nature. All the soft-keys have a click feel to them so you know when they’re being pressed.
I would definitely recommend this Range to friends and family as well as purchasing it from BestBuy. Absolutely no complaints with the entire purchasing experience.

Has meant my expectations so far. Setting times are a bit tedious, it would be nice to have a number pad to enter the data.

What's great about it: the extra wide burner
What's not so great: not used to using the cook top cleaner after each use
I just started using this stove. Everything seems to be excellent so far. The temperature controls are good. Oven seems to heat evenly. I cooked a mushroom bisque & it turned out very well. Will let you know more after Thanksgiving.

What's great about it: Easy to use, flat top
I think that the range is excellent. I replaced an older electric that had the coils. This one is definitely better. It heats well & I love the option to change the size on the large burner. As usually there are only 2 of us, I am using smaller pots & skillets, but have the option for the larger when we have family dinners.
I had read the other reviews & some talked about the fact that the oven takes a long time to preheat. I will tell you it takes about the same time as my other oven did....so for me, no problem there. I am excited to try out the delayed bake.
I would recommend this to a friend!
