Ranges are very nice, and work well in our apartments.
The customer service was exceptional during the on line order process. The delivery people were on time and did a fine job.

Great price, oven lights up, and has heating elements front to back. Great deal.
For the light chef who doesn't cook for a large amount of people this stove is great. Easy online ordering, great delivery and set up...But I'm a Home Depot person. I love this place!!!!

If you don't require all the bells and whistles almost no-one ever uses, then this is a great stove.
If you don't require all the bells and whistles almost no-one ever uses, then this is a great stove. Ours was purchased to replace our basement kitchen stove and we are very pleased. Turkeys, roasts and hor's d'oeuvres no problem!

No Frills Oven - Works fine
I purchased this simple, no frills electric range for minimal cost. It works just fine. But it lacks a number of features such as timers that begin to cook at a pre-determined time for a pre-set amount of time. The finish looks minimal and I suspect it will show signs of wear in just a couple of years. OTOH - it does exactly what it's expected to do. And the price was very reasonable. So overall, I rated this 4 stars.

Good basic stove for the price.
Oven temp selector is a dial, not push button like the one I replaced. Hopefully this one will be more reliable.

This is an excellent product for the price.
I selected this product because I wanted a simple, economical range without a lot of bells and whistles. The product performs well and appears to be of high quality, with a few misgivings. There was no indication in the instructions of how to remove the heating coils and drip pans to clean them; I figured it out for myself. There was a period of adjustment figuring out the controls; for instance, on the heating coil controls, "Lo" is the same as "Off," not "Simmer." Most troubling is that, when the oven is at a baking temperature for a while, the top of the unit (the metal between the coils) becomes very hot -- too hot to comfortably touch -- which indicates there's not much insulation. However, I don't have children or cats in the house to hurt themselves by accident, and I don't use the oven much, so this is not a huge problem for me.

perfect for the simple cook!!!! Not too fancy to intimidate!!!
ordered this as it was the perfect size for my spot and it was simple! Don't like the fancy expensive stoves unless they are going to cook for me! This was perfect for my lifestyle....and pocketbook!

A sturdy, simple product and an excellent value -- has everything I needed and wanted!
This range is just perfect for all daily cooking needs. Oven light helps with all baking and roasting. The stove top is spacious and fits the large fry pans and stew pots I often use. Clock and timer a real plus. AND it looks great!

This Range is so great for being inexpensive
My landlord purchased this Range for me because the one I had was so old it had no knob marks to tell you how high it was and the oven knob had no Degree marks on it and no Label on it so I didn't even know what brand it was. I have a Hotpoint now which is made by GE. I have read all the reviews on this Range and good ratings. I finally used it the other day and OMG....it cooked so great and nice and even. My pies and Breads and Cakes turned out so good. Im sicilian so I cook alot and its stands on its own....Love the Range...THANK YOU ERIC FOR BUYING THIS RANGE FOR ME. Thanks Home Depot for having such great delivery men and they installed it with ease. I rate the Delivery men a 5 which is the highest rating you can give.....Love you Home Depot

    Great Stove for the Money
    I would highly recommend this range. It is easy to clean, looks nice, and cooks correctly. Has the functions you need without all the bells & whistles you don't. Do not be fooled into thinking you have to spend a bunch of money to get a quality product.

    Nice inexpensive stove
    everything great but I was not on the ball and did not check out the distance from wall so the outlet on the back sticks out the back making the whole stove stick out 4 inches beyond the counter top.

    Works great and is easy to use.
    This unit fit in very nicely as a replacement. The delivery folks were very courteous and completed the installation in one hour. The unit is easy to operate and the digital clock has large numbers making it easy to read from a distance.

    Good for the price.
    Good for the price. As a replacement for a 23 year old range, it is basic, but nice. Hope it lasts another 20 yrs.

      Hotpoint stove
      We bought this for our rental property which will get light use. The team delivering and installing the stove did a great job. They hauled off the old one. This is not the best quality stove but as long as it is used lightly it should work. Our previous stove was a 30 year old Whirlpool. I don't think this one will make it that long.

        excellent range - I like the fact that it has 2 large burners
        I brought this range on the internet. The product was exactly as stated there. I never felt the need to actually see it. The delivery was exactly as stated and on-time.

        sturdy and functions well
        I used this in a rental property, so it's not high end, but functions well for a basic range.

          It's a decent stove for a good price
          It's a good stove for the price! You can tell it is kinda cheap, but when that's all you can afford to spend!

          Hotpoint range
          I reused the old cord & saved $19.! And, the range is a perfect replacement at the cost.

            Super duper stove
            My old stove dated back to 1981 when my house was built and had a lot of problems. I was prompted by a HD email to look at some ranges and this one caught my eye. I am so pleased that it fit perfectly into the space left by the old one; the bisque color matches my fridge; I love the digital clock/timer and the window in the door (you can see how old my other one was by how delighted I am in these details); and the 2 sizes of burners. Most of all, everything cooks up faster because this is a very efficient stove, so am learning to time things differently. Haven't used the oven yet. But am very pleased with this stove; plus the free delivery and pickup of the old stove at no charge was all just too tempting to pass up. Great value for a wonderful product!

            This product was great, especially for the price
            This was a gift but I was able to see it after delivery, in fact Christmas dinner was prepared on it. It was very good quality and the extra large oven was just what the person who received the gift was impressed with.
