Easily preserves food longer; great for small families or those with often open refrigerators. Also, I'm happy to say it has low chemical emissions when sealing - good news to those who want to minimize exposure.

My 2 1/2 year old grandson and his 1 year old brother adore this tablet and the games that come with it. I enjoy the bright colors of both tab and its bumper cover. I thought I'd keep this one at my house since his parents have one they let him use at home, but no! He likes this one better and carries it everywhere.

This range cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing range.
 
The 6' length allows for off center position.

The unique technology helps to keep foods fresh, and the included roll and bags let you choose the way you want to store your foods. With its space-saving design, the Foodsaver 2-in-1 food preservation system fits neatly on your counter.
 

I want to invest in a new Foodsaver vacuum sealer, but can't determine the $100 difference between this unit and the $299.00 one. Could you compare the two and explain the differences?

As this is an old question, you probably already decided. I have the $199 version and see several advantages to the more expensive version. 1 - a marinating box ($21.99) is included so you don't need to also buy a box for that or for crush-able food (chips, berries).. 2 - having the drip tray easily removed for dishwasher cleaning is very nice. 3 - having the sealer below the bag dispenser and auto starting is easier than holding the bag high while pressing the bar in two places 4 - a reverse button if you pulled out too much bag beats having to open the unit and manually rewind the roll before remeasuring. Is this worth the extra $100? Depends on how you value the extras and your budget.

what type cookware is recommended for the glass top ranges?

what type of cookware is reccomended for the glass top ranges?
Flat bottom cookware connects correctly to the surface. If a pan is warped or rounded it will heat unevenly and wobble. Other than that, any type works.

Delivery & Installation

I live about 30 miles from a Best Buy store. Is delivery, installation & haul-away of old range included in the $449 price? If, not what is the additional charge?
A sales person at the nearest store can tell you that, just call them. Since Best Buy folks aren't on commission, there's no pressure on you to buy after you ask questions.

Range discontinued?

Has this model been discontinued? If so, why and what is the replacement model? Also, Frigidaire says all of its ranges have lights to indicate that a burner is on and/or still hot. However, one of the big box web sites has a specification that says the range lacks these lights.
I purchased the range mid September 2014; it was not listed as discontinued then. There is one light that warns of a hot spot and another that shows one (or more) of the four regular burners is on. The warmer ring has its own light. To determine which one is on or still hot; you have to hold your hand near the surface. If you turned more than one on, look at the knobs too.
