I live the features and size of this range. The oven space is much larger than my last Kitchen Aid Range. I have only had it a few months but so far, it seems to cook things nicely and is very accurate. I had a dinner party last week and it was nice to be able to fit everything in the oven at once. The only thing I don't like is the top shows too much. I got the black matte stainless instead of the shiny but didn't realize that the top would be shiny so it shows every little grease mark and dust.. I wanted something different than the regular stainless that everyone has because I think stainless looks too commercial. I just hope this new kitchen aid range holds up as long as my last one did--24 years. I highly doubt it will as they don't make things like they used too.
I bought this a month ago. Works well and easy to use.
Like the range, really wanted a double oven, but could not get one as they halted production due to problems.
I just turned the convection on and had to pull my meal out becca I was sure that it was broken, it was that QUIET! Plus, it cooked up or pizza perfectly!
I bought this range in March, and felt like i needed to give it a chance. I have previously owned 3 GE ranges, they served me well. I don't know why I changed brands. I guess I changed so I would have matching appliances--love my dishwasher, disposal and hot tap. I am regretting it. The stove top is impossible to keep clean--I thought it looked nice in the store. I bake a lot. There is no regulating this oven. I baked chocolate chip cookies today--25 minutes and they are barely brown. Nothing seems to brown in this oven. It takes 20 minutes to preheat--which was the reason I got rid of my old oven, after 15 years it was not performing as it once did.
I bought this model because of the stainless steel details because I wanted as little black on the stove top in my kitchen. It looks very nice. Everything seems to work well as far as cooking and baking. HOWEVER, I have also had a hazy stain like area appear on one of my burners. It does not appear to be food left on the top, it is completely smooth and actually doesn't show up much unless the over head light shines on it. I just hope this doesn't continue to happen and my stove top looks old in 6 months. I also was told this is cosmetic and not covered under warranty, that it does not affect the function of the range. Well one of the functions is for it to look nice in my kitchen!! I had a glass top range before this one for 10 years and never had this problem. One other item is the extra large eye on the stove top that I will not ever use (I guess it is for canning)- I wish that dual burner was smaller and I could get more use out of it. I will use the smaller of the dual burners on that burner. But I bought it for the looks and not the burner layout. I think it will serve me well as long as I don't get any more of these stains. I think the glass must not be made as well or is defective or something. I have tried and followed all cleaning instructions. Hope this is helpful.
I've only had this stove for about a month but so far I love it. Couldn't decide if I wanted a gas or electric but went with electric. So far it has been great. Large oven. The only negative thing I would say is the top is a lot harder to look clean without greasy looking smears. My last glass top was a lot easier. But I've worked it out and I'm pleased with the look. I was surprised how fast water boiled when I did some canning.
waited two weeks on delivery but worth the effort.... love it..
We are extreamely happy with our new range. The over size oven is such a great feature. The appearence Of the range fits in perfectly with our kitchen make over. We are very pleased when ever we use it.
Perfect new addition to our kitchen. Stylish and easy to use. Love it!
In the week+ that we have owned this oven-range, I have taken it for a spin. The convection features are very high-quality and the baking function is perfect. My only concern is the glass top which terrifies me a bit. It feels fragile. I cook often and for a big family. I am a very meticulous cleaner, but I am worried that over time the top with become scored or scratched. However, the combination stove-microwave hood is beautiful in my remodeled kitchen.
Misleading photos on oven interior, very disappointed.
I was very disappointed to get this new range home and discover that the photos of the interior that show a full extension ball bearing rack and another rack with hangers on it for a steam tray are not actually present in this range. Those were two big selling features for me on this purchase.
Absolutely love my new KitchenAid Range! Beautiful to look at and great to cook on. It's ceramic glass top is perfect with the stainless steel trim around it. The burners give you size choices depending on the cookware you are using. I love the warming burner. The oven is so large and roasts so evenly. I like the choice of convection bake as well. I couldn't believe I could roast a 13lb. turkey plus later add 3 casseroles on the rack above and then have room to bake dinner rolls on the rack above that! Thank you KitchenAid for such excellent kitchen appliances!
So far, very very good.
Well built, well designed. The top ranges heat quickly, evenly. The oven works "great" according to my wife--i.e. hotter, more efficient. And the design is good--everything well thought out...the only extremely minor exception being the little red lines on the 4 range knobs are hard to see, i.e. "is that turned off?"
I've only had my new range for a week. After my 27 year old range needed to be replace (only because the oven could no longer be turned on!), I chose this range because it seemed higher quality than the others & I didn't want a Samsung. The cook top is great so far though I'm surprised it doesn't boil water any faster than the old range. I made frozen french fries on covection & they were the best ever! The bottom storage drawer is rather chintzy but I like to way it is so low to the floor so my dogs don't get food stuck under the stove. It's very nice looking in my kitchen along with my new KitchenAid dishwasher in black.
I have owned this range for about a month. In that time, I have not had any issues with cooking/baking anything. It heats well and everything has cooked in the appropriate amount of time. I will say that it seems as if the outside of the range (near the top of the door) gets warmer than any other model I've ever used. This could be an issue if you have children. Also, the drawer in the bottom feels extremely cheap. It doesn't hold much and it doesn't seem to open/close as smoothly as other models. These aren't deal-breakers for our family, but they might be for yours. Just something you might want to check into before purchasing.
Good features but difficult to get accustomed to it.
I bought this a month ago to replace a 25 year old range that I loved. It is taking quite a long time to become accustomed to it because it is so different. The multiple size cooking elements are great as well as the warming area. It takes a very long time for the cooking elements to reach the operating temperature that I need - about twice as long as my old stove. The glass top is also harder to clean than expected. Was expecting to clean more often but minor drops and spills are as bad as big spills on the old stove. The touch controls for the oven and a few other functions require an extremely firm touch to operate. I'm glad brushing them won't turn things on, but I feel like I'm pounding on the controls and am concerned about how long they will last. The oven takes a very long time to reach the specified temp - 27 minutes for 450 degrees to cook pizza. The drawer below the oven is deceptively small. The front of the drawer would lead you to believe the drawer is 5 to 6 inches deep, but it is actually just barely 3 inches deep.
I love the quality of build and design of this range, and its performance is excellent. There are only a couple of issues I would mention for this top-of-the line range: 1) The storage drawer beneath the oven is so shallow as seem a design afterthought, and 2) The glass stove top is surprisingly susceptible to staining, and it is surprisingly difficult to get clean. This is our first smooth top range but had always assumed keeping the top clean would be as simple as wiping it off - not so! Also, I was a little surprised and mildly let down to see the uninspiring black and white small print on newsprint user manuals. Just seems the user manual could be a little classier and more colorful for the price paid to own such nice appliances. I suppose it was a budgetary stretch to acquire these appliances and I was expecting to be congratulated and made to feel good about my choice through the owner's manual. Didn't really happen but I love my range anyway!
Had appliances installed before Thanksgiving last year. I am having a problem with how hot the stove gets on the outside. It also takes a very long time to preheat but it does remain hot. However, the outside of the stove gets so hot that it has already burned my daughter, granddaughter and me. I gave it 6 months to get used to it but so far I am not happy with it. The inside bulb has burned out 3 times and it makes a clunking sound. I am contacting the appliance store tomorrow.
Especially like how stovetop gives options much more useful.
Had 2 months and find it very reliable and really like the variables of the stovetop burners. Very useful.
I really like this range. It heats up quickly and I like the AquaClean feature. One thing I wish was better quality is the drawer under the oven. It seems very flimsy and thin.
WE BEEN USING THIS FOR ONE MONTH ITS GREAT.
We love our new range - it is so beautiful!! We are, however, still learning about the special features but so far everything we have tried is great.
I not only bought this range, but also a kitchenAid Double door, bottom freezer refrigerator!!! They are both soooooo great!!!! The range is awesome!!! It has a middle warmer burner in the back part of the range and it comes in soooo handy!!! The oven is also convection....AND there is an EASY convection that converts the time and temp for you!!! The timers, etc....are sooo easy to use and it looks GREAT!!!! I would recommend this stove to anyone!!! Great price and wonderful range....thanks KitchenAid!!!!!
Oven works great, haven't had it long enough to review the oven cleaner.
I've had my range installed for a month and am enjoying it. One disappointment. The timer is useless. If you have family or friends over, the sounds of children or dogs in the kitchen, a TV or radio on then you will NEVER hear the quiet, single end of countdown tone! It does repeat once, but you'd need to be standing at the range with no background noise to hear it. This may seem like a small, insignificant item but if you're like most women, we are always multi-tasking and I want the timer noise that doesn't shut off so I am drawn back to cooking!
I love love love this stove!!!
I truly love this stove. I am glad I waited to find the right stove and one that I wanted. This stove is so worth the price,. I love baking for my family and this oven is huge, it is large enough to bake several items at a time and still cook evenly!!
We have had this range for two weeks now. I like everything about it! It looks so sleek. My favorite things are the dual large burners in the front of the cooktop, the large oven with 3 racks and the Easy Convect feature that takes the guesswork out of converting my recipes.
HALF STAR RATING. I wish I had known that this product was not going to heat as well as my other stove did. The Convection time is like standard baking time. Boiling water takes far more time than it needs to. And if you are considering buying their panel front dishwasher, I would reconsider that also. Dishes are still wet after washing even with a drying agent. Microwave oven, is not great either. I regret purchasing KitchenAid appliances for my new kitchen.
I am replacing my appliances, Kenmore , which Came with the House., They do not have any class or even the looks are blah. I now have a Kitchen-Aid Refrigerator, Range and come this week they are installing a Over the Range Microwave. When a good sale comes about, then I will buy the dishwasher to match. I do say my kitchen does look good with these new appliance.
Kitchenaid! Have not used it to its full potential yet.
Love, love, love my new kitchenaid range!!!
Cooks great and looks great too. We just moved in a new house and upgraded my "builder grade" appliances. Did some research and so glad I went with this range. The oven cooks great and browns well.
Very pleased. Stylish and functional.
Seriously... I've had heavier toilet paper than the sheetmetal on this. No wonder it gets too hot. Again, sad to see the decline of a once quality American product line.
Easy to use and love all the features.
Great quality American made product!!!
This is the best electric range I've ever used! The range top is very easy to clean and heats very fast and cosistant. The oven is a true convection oven, if you place 1 pizza on each of the three baking racks, they all cook evenly. I will be looking to purchase a new KichenAide refrigerator next! Thanks for the great American made products!!!
I like the features thus far.
This was a replacement for my other stove which I loved. Thus far I am quite happy with this stove as well.
