We purchased this range to replace a very old, very basic one. The jump in size and quality was dramatic, so that colors this review a little. However, after comparing many, the features and usability are very well done on this line. Oven: I was really interested to try the steam assist, and in the few months we've had the range I've tried a variety of dishes and a bird or two, all with excellent results. I've even combined dishes to cook at once ( root veggies and chicken thighs, etc. ) and been impressed at the speed and tenderness of the results. It also cooks whole chicken in record time. Broiler rocks! I mostly use the center-only option. Convection plus capacity allows me to bake four sheets of cookies at one time, evenly. 9 minutes later ... all done. I haven't tried baking bread yet - that will be a true test of capability. Cook top: The burners' wide range of high to low heat perform as advertised. The individual grates make cleaning the cook top pretty easy, although it is certainly more of a catch-all for oil and bits than our old range or anything with a glass top. BTU power and flexibility won out over clean-up for me. For those who experience loud fan noises and other odd things mentioned in these reviews, definitely have the range serviced and inspected. That's not normal. There is a blower that operates when the oven is in use, but ours is pretty quiet and gentle. If it is loud, get it fixed. I do highly recommend an extended service plan of some sort for this reason. We bought the five-year plan, which came in handy as an igniter module was defective. Overall, I've enjoyed this range immensely.

I did a ton of research and was concerned that this was too good to be true. For the cost and to receive a combination over that cost half of what other major brands cost really concerned me. Based on the personal reviews and Consumer Reports ratings I ordered this oven. Am I ever so happy that I did! I LOVE MY NEW RANGE AND OVEN!!!! I baked a chicken and it was the most beautiful mahogany crispy skinned with delectable moist tender white meat. Gosh, it was a home run!

We renovated a historic home and purchased all Kitchenaid applicances and we couldn't be happier. The range looks modern and sleek, yet classic. We love the six burners, the varying flame size and the digital display to control the oven settings and timer is fantastic.
