After using this KitchenAid range for nearly 6 months, I can say we do NOT regret our decision to purchase. We are a family of 6 but cook for 9 to 11 routinely, so the large capacity of the main oven, 5 burners and fully functioning baking drawer have not let us down! Oven features: other reviews have pointed to slowness in preheat--which we have found to be somewhat true. I would not let this discourage you from this range though. The oven cooks amazingly even, even with multiple, different sized and food type items in it. The steam bake feature is so easy to use that you actually do! Convection conversion is perfect when in a rush--hint: use convect roast to cut time! We have also used the delayed start feature several times with great results. The proof feature can be used to make yogurt. The Aqualift works like a charm and I tend to run the cycle routinely making for a clean oven! The baking drawer: We do wish the rack insert's handles were placed differently, because when you put a 9 x 13 casserole in the handles can be awkward. That said, this is a very minor complaint. We do like how you can lift the whole insert out with your casserole though. The "keep warm" can be set as low as 145. The slow cooker feature is AWESOME. It won't replace your crock pot, but it's perfect for briskets and other roasts. The cooktop: If you were a smaller family, the griddle would allow you to not purchase a stand alone appliance. We were able to put away our electric kettle as the powerful left burner boiled water in the stove top kettle at nearly the exact same speed. The continuous grate comes off for easy cleaning and has tolerated gentle dishwasher cycles making for an easy clean up. *Note: The manual says you may experience discoloration from dishwasher cleaning but we have not.
Yes, I recommend this product
