Good oven - price was right
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this oven for just about a month. For the price, the features are amazing-especially the 5 burners. It bakes and roasts evenly and perfectly! There are 2 issues to be noted though: first, the oven door gets extremely hot. If you have small children, this would be a big concern. Secondly, the broiler is quite literally on the floor so you have to bend far to get to whatever you are broiling. Since this oven only came with 2 racks, I bought a third one for the broiler. Since it didn’t come with a broiler pan, I bought one. Personally, I don’t do a lot of broiling, so it’s a minor inconvenience. If you have a bad back or you’re an older person and broil a lot I would suggest a different model. Love that it came with a griddle! For the price, this oven has many good features- just be wary of the hot door and the broiler being quite literally on the floor!

          Love this Stove! Great features!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 27 years we finally decided to purchase a new stove. We are so glad that we found this model. It suits my wife's needs for her every day cooking at home. The height is perfect and she loves the five burners.

            Cooks nice and fast!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had bought this 2 months ago, I use it pretty much every day. I enjoy how fast it cooks food, boils water, or warms up. The oven is very easy to use and clean.

              Knobs on stove
              Very good range but if you have a big dog not good. My dog was able to ignite back burner and caused my kitchen to do a flash fire. I just bought my home and all appliances are brand new. Now I have to replace my range, microwave (over range) and several cabinets. Thanks to my home owner insurance. Big clean-up from smoke and soot. All happened when I was not at home.

                Love this gas range!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cook mostly on Sunday for the week! The oven heats up so incredibly fast. Everything cooks and taste great!The plus is that the range has a very high tech look about it!

                  Love it!
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new gas range is amazing. It is so fast at cooking everything from boiling water for pasta to baking cookies and it sautés my meat quickly and evenly. The controls for the burners are so easy to use and the touchscreen for the oven is great. The timer is loud enough I can hear it from other room so I won’t burn whatever is in process! It also looks like a chefs stove with the grill plates on the top of the stove. I can’t wait to get a matching microwave!

                    Whirlpool Gas Range
                    Purchased two years ago. The oven handle is flawed design and cheaply made. The door handle hardware failed, the handle fell off one side, the entire tempered glass oven window shattered and fell on the kitchen floor, a has knob fell off. The entire stove disintegrated before my eyes! Hint: When purchasing a new cook stove, examine the oven door handle, how it's designed.

                      Hard to clean
                      I bought this model a couple of months ago and I'm really struggling to keep it clean. I have to literally clean it every single day after I cook, that's time consuming. You can see how it even has water marks (I already try to clean that) This doesn't look like a two months old stove, you can see the scratches on it, you have to scratch very hard to remove stains. Very disappointed as they sale it as an easy to clean product.

                          I love how quick this oven pre-heats!
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago and I'm so happy that I did. It looks nice, it pre-heats fast and it's easy to clean & use. It was missing one rack and Whirlpool sent the replacement right away. We are very happy with this purchase.

                              Heat from stove
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had our last stove for nearly 20 years and were very pleased with it. The stove is in between two cabinets with granite tops. We noticed that our cabinet on the left side of the stove was starting to warp. We never ever had that problem until we installed our new store. Now when ever we use the oven, we have to keep the cabinet door open. We have a fear that the heat generated from the oven could cause a fire. I also have issues with having to open the cabinet door and drawers to the left to keep them from ruining my kitchen cabinets. It is clear the door on the left is ruined from the heat and will need to be replace. In the 20 years in our home, we have never had this issue. I would like very much for someone to get back to me. I know that most homes are made the same way ours is and have cabinets on either side of the stove.

                                  Efficient Gas Range
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about 2 weeks ago and am so happy I did. It was a great addition to my kitchen. We picked this up in store and brought it home the same day. Installation was relatively painless to switch this over to propane usage and install. The oven heats up fast and does a great job of evenly cooking dishes, The burners also seem to come to a boil faster than most other cook tops I have used. I look forward to using over the years to come and I highly recommend this stove if you need a convenient cost effective appliance to add to your home.

                                    Great stove at a great price. Had a cosmetic flaw
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was rated the number one budget gas stove by several media outlets and I see why. Quality construction, functionality and great looks. Love the cooking surface grate that covers the entire top. Also loved the included griddle that snaps into place. The only issue I had with my beautiful stove is that it had a scratch in the porcelain on the top right corner. Otherwise happy.

                                          Great Features for a Low Price!
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this range in January to replace a 20+ year old range. This range was cheaper than what we paid for our old range when it was new. The oven preheat is FAST and we love the sealed burners; especially the simmer burner. It pairs nicely with the new OTR Microwave / Convection Oven we purchased at the same time.

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced a well taken care of 40 year old Tappen stove with this Whirlpool 5 burner with griddle stove. Just love many of the features and the style. Various BTU’s of the burners is great. Would have preferred to have 4-5 grates instead of the 2 as they are heavy and too large to put in dishwasher. The broiler isn’t anything to rave about but Not a deal breaker though as this is great stove.

                                                “you get what you pay for”
                                                Is as basic as it could be, for the price I guess “you get what you pay for”  minimal Insulation on the inside the adjustable legs at the bottom is really cheap plastic, very sharp metal around the legs (I have a scar for life on my hand and my brand new floor) burners are great specially the 2 front ones the “power burners”  the 5th burner in the middle is really useless unless you’re only that one, you don’t have enough room to use all 5 burners unless you’re using small pots. The burner grate or rail on top of the burner is so rough it has scratched the bottom of my new pots. I regret getting rid of my old one just because I remodeled my kitchen. We painted the stove red on top of the stainless steel. It looks great but it’s not the best quality.

                                                  Love the stove and oven, However, grease dropped into this hole/gap and I can’t get it to come clean. I took the whole metal plate out and used Dawn dish soap and after that didn’t work, I used baking soda and white vinegar. I’m at a loss. Every time I turn on my oven it goes up in smoke.

I use the broiler and cooked my toast for about 10 minutes and it was perfect! The five burners are great and the griddle that was included was a added bonus.

It's nice to have 5 burners but it is kind of tight when cooking large meals and trying to use all the burners. Otherwise on a daily basis it's fine. Top panel is pretty basic. Love the large open oven window. You can see the entire inside unlike the ones with those small windows and glass wi few on the inside is one sheet so it's real easy to clean!
