had been looking at them for almost a year but was unable to afford one until now. the stove is made extremely well and both the stove top and oven are easy to clean. the stove top heats up quickly and can boil water for tea in about two minutes, when you turn the burner off the stove immediately cools down. it is a great feature! it took awhile to get used to the 'humming' sound the stove top makes when it heats up but it is not overly loud or irritating to listen to. it has easy to use features and a large capacity both on the stove top
