I love this range. My kitchen has white appliances (I'm one of those rare ones who doesn't like SS) and this is by far the best looking white range out there. I'd go so far to say the best looking freestanding range, period. It's sleek and clean. The continuous cast iron grates sit a little above but not too high like some of the others. The grates are simple in design making the whole surface easy on the eye. The control knobs have a subatantial feel. The IQ touch panel is intuitive. I didn't want to pay extra for the Wave Touch and the IQ is just fine. The only thing that is illuminated when not using the range is the clock.

I've been using the range for 6 months now. I noticed that the "rack" in the warming drawer was less than half the size of the drawer itself and instructions tell you not to set anything directly in the drawer, only on the rack. The rack would hold 1 9x13 pan and that's it. Also the finish on the top grates seems to be wearing off - need to contact the manufacturer about that. The grates started out a nice matte black, but are "wearing silver" on the ones I use the most. The major drawback is that when the oven is on, the exterior of the stove, especially in the area of the knobs gets quite hot. In fact, the range itself radiates a lot of heat when the oven is on. But the oven roast beautifully, the burners are great, and the whole thing is very easy to keep clean. Read more
