“We purchased this right before Christmas. We were really concerned about adjusting to a new stove. The one we replaced was 30 years old, so I hadn't cooked on anything different for 30 yrs. This stove is very user friendly and our Christmas dinner turned out very good. We are very happy with our purchase”

Customer Reviews
★★★★★
“I have always preferred gas over electric. This is definitely the latest in gas ranges. I love the way the grates swing up so that I can clean underneath. The convection is great because it also acks as an air fryer when I need it to.”
★★★★★
“3 years in and I love it. The oven cooks evenly and consistently. I love the 3 racks, with convection, allows for a lot of cooking at once--handy during the holiday season.

“We purchased this for our canning kitchen and love it. Then we used it as an overflow stove for our holiday events works great! Currently I use it to bake my sourdough product with it works better that our electric main stove.”
★★★★★
“The middle burner of this range inspired me to try my old cast iron griddle and the result was a juicy, tender, delicious chicken thigh complete with cross-hatch marks from the griddle, accomplished with medium-high heat and very little oil. Amazing. Now I'm looking forward to doing other little meals on this wonderful tool.”
