Comment:
Have had problems with the oven lighting every time we want to use it. Sometimes the oven will light consistently for a month or more at a time, then it will not. Have had it repaired several times. Always the same repair - they replace the starter. Never know when it will quit.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Rock solid performance for over a year. Very accurate oven with even heating. Accusimmer burner is great. Very low heat with no danger of burning. Two medium burners have very good control from low to high. Power burner is very fast but you need large pots since it is so large. Cooktop burners a little close together so 4 pots is too crowded. If this range needed to be replaced through no fault of its own, I would replace it with the same thing.

Comment:
This unit is a dangerous safety hazzard. The burners go out without you realizing it (you have a pan over the fire after all)and the room fills up with fumes before you are aware of it having gone out. Then you have to open all the windows and doors. This has happened to my stove at least 8 times now. It happens a lot when I have changed the gas feed from high or med to low or even back to high. Also my unit had buzzing noise problems and we has a repairman come three times to fix it, which he did but eventually it comes back and eventually that is after your 1 year warrantee is over. Don't buy this stove.
