Comment:

Used for general cooking and baking. Really like the larger oven size as it holds 6 loaves of bread. Temps of both stove and oven are accurate. Drawback is the storage drawer as it is hard to grasp and open.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

We have owned this stove for almost 2 years and it does everything a stove is supposed to do. It is easy to clean....I have never liked the self cleaning option so I just do it myself with soap and water. I often bake bread, cakes and cookies and I have had great results. If you are not a picky person get this, if you are worried about keeping up with the Jones' try a more expensive stove.

How long have you owned it:

Comment:

I realized that all ovens heat differently but after double checking heating degrees with an independent oven thermometer, I found it was heating about 35 to 50 degrees lower than figure registered on range screen. There is no way to adjust this correction on the oven temperature<br />Also there is NO handle on the drawer at the bottom even tho' it does slide easily when one figures out a unique way of opening the drawer.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
