My husband and I have had the worse experiences with big box stores like Lowe’s and Sears in the past years so when we finally decided we were ready for a new stove, I knew we had to try ordering via Amazon. So glad we did! There wasn’t a whole lot of reviews so it was a slight risk, purchasing this. Hopefully my review will add value to those considering this product.
Pros:
- Purchasing literally took a minute (minus all the research to determine which product to choose). I recently bought a microwave from Lowe’s (don’t make the same mistake) and it took me almost 1.5 hour, where I had to wait for issue after issue to be resolved, a new sales rep who lamented the whole time about not being trained enough, paperwork and more paperwork, days of waiting for a delivery window to be confirmed...you get the gist. During purchase, I was able to choose a delivery/installation window. On the day of, I got a call from the delivery vendor providing a 30 min heads up. They came in the slot I picked, hauled away my old stove, tested the new stove and we’re out of the house within 10 minutes. This means the total time I’ve had to spend on getting my stove replaced (again, minus the time I spent comparing stoves which for some - not judging - might be optional) was only 11 minutes. You cannot beat that. I am so impressed.
- Strong flames. I thought my old stove was pretty good. Wow, this new one really reminded me how much stronger it could have been. My son eats pasta like bees eat nectar and it took only a few minutes (didn’t time, but definitely believe it was under 4 minutes) for a full pot of water to get to a rolling boil.
- Heavy grates. This was one aspect I was worried about. It’s hard to tell from the pictures of the grates on the stove were the cheap and light kind or otherwise. These are nice, solid, heavy grates. I’ve had to clean them several times now. No issues.
- Good quality knobs. Again, I was worried the knobs might turn out to be what light/“plastic” kind I’ve seen in cheaper stoves. Not the case.
Cons
- Can’t say I’ve used this stove and oven enough times to have discovered any. Will definitely update if I do encounter any.
So far no issues as others have stated. Don’t love the flimsy back control panel with plastic cover coming from an all stainless unit with glass controls on the front. The burners get very hot and have no issue boiling anything quickly and the oven cooks very effectively, but the preheat and timer jingle are super cheesy. Getting a double oven for around $1000 though I can’t complain too much. I would suggest buying burner and oven liners immediately and install for a clean look and feel. As I understand with these newer ovens you are taking a risk by using the self cleaning feature.
This stove is amazing. High quality and just what we needed as an upgrade to our space. The burner flames are high, oven cooking is stellar. This is high quality and the stainless steel looks great. Our delivery was prompt and the delivery guys were super professional and quick. They showed us how everything worked on the stove and also hauled away our old stove.
The delivery and set up were done very professionally. The stove works great, has multiple burner features that make it very versatile. The convection option in the oven works very well. I recommend this stove to anyone who loves gas stoves.
this range has been fantastic it was an awesome value for the money and the fact that it came within 2 days and was delivered right into the spot was unbelievable such an amazing value compared to big box stores like Best Buy and Home Depot. This stove is easy to clean and looks very clean and tidy.

Product works as advertised however, the delivery personnel were excellent! They did a great job in a very short time!
Beautiful stove, great delivery as well. This same stove was nearly 1,200 at Sears. I canceled my order with then when I saw it on here! Strong flame, works awesome!
I've had it for a few months now so I think I can provide a review.
I love the stove. The ordering, delivery, setup, timing, billing, and promises made along they way were all provided as promised without any hassle or fuss!
Cleaning was a concern - because it didn't come with liners and I haven't been able to find any to purchase. But I have discovered that clean up and cleaning is easy and quick. The surface is excellent. Mind you I don't use harsh cleaners or tools on it. Wiping it with warm water and a soft scrub is all it takes. I recommend it.
Awesome stove...electricity goes off, I will have the gas cooktop and vice versa...it's accurate and extremely fast using the convection..arrived in perfect condition.
The reason I gave you 4 stars because the side of the stove is black can I see the side of the stove so you need to show both sides so you can see because I'm expecting the stove to be stainless steel all the way around so please make sure you show both sides of the stove but other than that the stove is beautiful and I love it have a blessed day and thank you so much
