I had this stove for over a month now and am very happy with it. I like the electronic controls and how quickly the oven gets heated to the temperature you set up. It is easy to clean, but i am still getting used to the heavy cast iron grids.

What's great about it: Double oven, look, Superboil
What's not so great: The middle burner could be More powerful
The first one that was delivered did not work. When I turned the upper oven on it was about 200 degrees off. When I turned the lower oven on they both shut down completely. The second one that I had delivered works great. The calibration was slightly off but you are able to adjust that yourself up to 35 degrees. I use both ovens all the time. It's great being Able to cook at two different temperatures! The Superboil brings water to a boil almost instantly. I have used the middle oval burner a few times, it takes a little longer to cook because it is not as powerful as the other burners but the griddle does heat evenly. I loved having this oven for Easter dinner, having the double oven really helped with such a big meal!

What's great about it: I like the looks as much as much as any other feature...
What's not so great: If there is something, I'm not aware of it yet...
We've had this range for several months now and the wife and I love it. It’s very stylish with ease of control use. The double convection oven makes it much easier and faster when preparing meals…We bought this range on sale and were very satisfied with the price. 30 days later it came up with a different lower sale price and Best Buy refunded an additional $170.00...A BIG THANK YOU to Best Buy for a no hassle refund...

Oval "burner" is useless for cooking

What's great about it: The look
What's not so great: the oval burner and difficulty of cleaning the stovetop
I'm not sure if ours is defective or if this is the way the center oval burner works, but it is such a low flame I couldn't even cook pancakes on it, and that was my only requirement for it (see pic of pancakes, that was after 4 minutes a side, they didn't even get brown!) I had an LG tech and a sales rep at Best Buy both describe it as a "warming burner," unfortunately that's not what they market it as (they even give you a griddle) and we bought it to cook on. I am disappointed and planning on sending this back. Jury is still out on the ovens, I think my top one runs a little low and the bottom a little high, but they seem to be baking ok. I can say I love the look of this range and that the other burners work well. Another drawback to the oval burner: because of it the stove has three large heavy grates that must be removed in order to wipe down the top at all, my old one had only four burners, and therefore four small grates which you didn't have to remove in order to wipe down most of the stove. All that for a non-functional burner isn't worth it.

What's great about it: Double Ovens!
What's not so great: would of like more racks and maybe baking pans to come with the range.
I was debating between this version or the double oven gas version and I am so glad that I went w/ convection. I admit it took me a week to understand the oven but once I did, WOW! The ranges work so much better then the average range top. The superboil and simmer burners making cooking so easy. The center range is perfect when you need a 5th burner. I made a ham in the top oven and a pork shoulder in the lower oven and both cooked perfectly (at the same time!) Making cookies was so much fun, talk about perfect everytime. I was lucky enough to purchase this range on a very good sale and I am so glad I did. It truly is top of the line.

What's great about it: Design and spaciousness
What's not so great: Reliability--two things broke in 2 months
The design of this product is great. With four burners on top with a griddle in the middle, there is lots of room to cook several small and large pots. The inside of the ovens are amazingly spacious. All would be good except that the griddle provides such a low amount of heat that it doesn't work well for pancakes or bacon, and then it stopped lighting all the way around within a month. Now (less than 2 months after purchasing it), the top oven generated an F9 error message and stopped working entirely. I'm hoping that BestBuy will continue its great service policy and repair quickly, but the brand clearly has some reliability problems. Also, note that the first one delivered to our house was crushed on the sides. The packaging was fine, so it was clearly damaged prior to shipping but they shipped it anyway. That should have been a sign that the manufacturer cares little about quality!

What's great about it: Allows to bake two items at different temps at same time.
What's not so great: Takes two small oven just as long to preheat as a large single oven
Love the gas cooking surface, and the fifth burner is awesome! It comes with a griddle and it is great for cooking pancakes or eggs on. The double oven is handy, but not sure yet if I like it better than a single one. It is easy to use and looks awesome!
Love the commercial style knobs that it has. Seems to cook fairly even.

What's great about it: Capacity, set up, features
What's not so great: Control panel may be susceptible to heat.
We picked this range up right before Thanksgiving when our other oven failed. Best Buy sold us the floor model due to our needing an oven and being impressed. The ovens work great, and installation was easy. However the main control panel failed about 2 hours after we had boiled water on the stove for a while. Apparently the steam adversely affected it. We got a technician to look at it, and we were told 6-8 weeks for replacement, so we have no ovens right now. We are trying to get LG to remedy this situation. A 2month old range should not have this problem. Other than that, this is a great range, and if this is resolved we'll be baking again.

What's great about it: Looks, clear windows, chimes instead of beeper, double oven
What's not so great: hard reach to bottom of bottom oven, tough to keep clean
We purchased this oven after much research when our electric wall unit died. We had to do significant renovation in the kitchen to get this in, but I'm so glad we did. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the gas cooktop. When we moved into our house, they had installed a ceramic top electric cooktop, and I never liked it. It was impossible to simmer anything on, and while the water would heat up quickly to boil, it took forever to get the boil down where you wanted it. With this oven, I have the superburner to bring that big pot of potatoes to a boil, and a simmer burner to simmer the gravy and keep it warm during the meal. It's simply perfect.
I love the double ovens, although I'm still working out the differences between gas and electric (and convection) cooking. I found the my cookies bake better in the bottom oven, but heating up rolls or pizza in the top oven is perfect.
We've used the convection roast option and few times, and the meat has been perfectly cooked (again, still working on the timing, but other than that, it's been perfect).
I love the look of the oven, although the stainless steel does get dirty relatively quickly. The oven chimes and the lights blink at you both when the oven reaches temperature and when the timer goes off.
It is a little tough getting into the bottom oven to pull out a large roasting pan, simply because it's so much lower than our old, eye level wall unit, but nothing we won't get used to.

As with most large purchases, I scoured the internet for reviews before we finally purchased this double-oven gas range. After quite a bit of reading, it was a choice between this one and a similar Kenmore Elite. The price was much better on this and I'm glad we went with it. Looks-wise, this is a beautiful range. Functionally, everything feels solid. Metal gas nobs, strong cast iron grates, doors close easily, etc. We went from an electric flat top to this and there's a HUGE difference. Even breads come out of the oven more moist. Using gas on the range is great -- much more control of heat. The biggest annoyance is the apparent lack of quality control (or perhaps shipping issues). On the first one we received, the lower oven door was crooked and would not close all the way on one end. Best Buy was very helpful and replaced it for us (although it took a couple of weeks). This 2nd one has a straight door but we noticed a ding/dent in the stainless steel on the front of the door right after it was delivered. We are debating having them replace it again as it is somewhat of a hassle to hook it up. Plus, who knows what might be wrong with the next one. On the plus side, Best Buy is very accommodating and is even willing to deliver a 3rd stove to replace this one with a ding (or at least swap out the door). A few other things we've noticed:
- It's easy to bump the range knobs and accidentally turn them on (e.g. brushing up against them when unloading the dishwasher). It's obvious when you've done this because you either hear gas running or you hear the igniter clicking, so not really a big deal.
- The upper oven doesn't cook the same as the lower. We can put a tray of cookies in each oven at the same temperature and the same number of cookies (same type of tray) and it takes about 3-5 minutes longer in the upper oven. Again, not really a big deal but just strange.
Other than this, this range is GREAT. I'd definitely purchase it again and would recommend to friends.

What's great about it: It worked for three months
What's not so great: It stopped working after three months
We were reasonably happy with this LG gas double oven while it worked. Unfortunately the electronic panel simply stopped functioning about three months after we purchased it (Aug 2011). This makes the oven unusable. The LG repair service is abysmal. Last Thursday was the third time the repairman came and he still has failed to fix it. Each time, he announces that he doesn't have the correct part and will need to order another part. I've been without an oven for three weeks and it's now one week from Xmas. Based on the large number of complaints about LG appliances that I'm now seeing on other websites, it seems LG either doesn't have enough parts to service all the failed stoves, or they simply don't have competent repair people. I am asking the store to take it back and give me a replacement of another brand.

We bought this range when our electric range broke after 11 years. We decided to switch to gas and after looking at many options chose the LG and have been very happy with the purchase. The food has be cooked perfect after we learned how to cook with gas, but the instruction manual warned us of the difference and was helpful in shortening the learning curve. Easy to use. The only minor complaint is the digital temperature says the oven is at preheat temperature a minute or two before it is actually that hot, but other wise it is great.

we looked at ranges that were double the price. I was afraid that after we installed the stove that I made the wrong choice. Well... my wife and I are so happy we went with this range! Its not monsterous to where that is all you see in the kitchen yet it very stylish and functional! Our 16 month old loves it too because everytime the oven pre-heats or the timer rings it sings a nice tune and he dances everytime! Don't know why i didn't get this range sooner!
