Induction range
I bought this range a month ago. In my previous home I had a gas range and liked the evenness of heat and the ease of adjusting the amount of heat delivered to the cookware. My new home had all electric appliances and would require turning on the gas service only for the stove. After researching alternatives, I learned about induction ranges. I am extremely pleased with this stove. It can deliver energy quickly when needed to bring water to a boil or stir fry. It is also very easy to set and maintain a desired temperature. Another benefit is that since the stove surface does not get very hot, spilled material does not get burned onto the surface. Having a double oven is also a great benefit. Thanksgiving dinner was much easier to time all the food to be ready at the same time.

    Wanted to LOVE it Forever
    I purchased this oven about a year ago with high hopes and expectations. I am a avid baker and cook large meals multiples times a weeks- so my oven gets lots of use! I love the double oven, especially the small upper one which is great for everyday meals. It is a great size and typically preheats quickly. The induction is great for cooking. Shortly after I purchased the oven I started getting an error message "feature not available" when I would try to turn on the oven. The problem was sporadic. I called for service and the service agent "fixed" it by hard wiring a sensor on. Shortly after that the problem continued. After several months I was able to determine that this happened only when I was using the heating elements on the stovetop. I called for more service. This time I was able to reproduce the problem for the service agent. He ordered and eventually replaced the main control panel and touchpad. The problem continued. After the agent, spent several hours working on the problem, including a conference call with Whirlpool it was decided that this was not an error and it was normal operation. They decided that the oven goes into "power save" mode. It is strange and frustrating that Whirlpool considers it "normal" operation not to be able to use your oven and stovetop at the same time. If there are any other owners out reading this, could you please try to boil some water on your stovetop and then turn on your oven and see if it works. In addition to this the oven sometime decides that it does not want to heat to my desired temperature. I will set it for 350 and after 30 minutes the temp setting on the touch sensor will say 350 but I can stick my hand in and touch the racks which are warm and not hot. This is a problem if you actually want to bake anything.

      Can't beat induction, but....
      Great stove. Induction is the way to go. The stove controls are simple and responsive, and the small oven is big enough to cook a chicken.Like others reviewers, I will need to relocate my stove plug, but I would not call that a design flaw, the space was needed for the lower oven.My only issue is the fan for the electronics. If only the burners are used, it goes off in a reasonable about of time. But, we cooked a chicken in the upper oven the other night and the fan stayed on for an hour and 20 minutes on high after the chicken was out and the oven was off, and it is loud enough to be annoying. Since then I've found that leaving the oven door open so it cools off faster cuts the runs time down quite a bit. Maybe future iterations could have better ventilation to cut down on fan run time.Overall, I'd have absolutely no problems recommending this to a friend.

        Awesome cooking and baking experience!
        I bought this Whirlpool Double Oven Electric Range with Induction Cooktop a few months ago when we moved into our new house. Even though I wasn't sure I'd need a double oven, I absolutely wanted an induction cooktop. Turns out I LOVE the convenience and versatility of the double oven, and the energy efficiency of the induction cooktop is unbeatable! The programmable timer/cook-time and other features like the child lock make it the best purchase for busy families who love a home-cooked meal. I couldn??t be any happier with my range and recommend it to anyone who loves to cook with convenient features while enjoying energy savings in the long run.

          good range
          I bought this range 3 mounts ago. I have truely loved it and would recommend it to my friends. Cooks great on the cook top induction is fantastic. Small oven takes some getting used to how it cooks. Large convection oven is wonderful.BUT cook top and ovens are temperamental if the get to hot (you are using 3 or 4 burners very hot and trying to use the ovens) they all shut down. You have to shut off the power then restart every thing- ovens still wouldn't come on until after the top cooled down. That has happened only one time so far. The pluses far exceed the minuses and I am very pleased overall with this range.

            almost like cooking with gas
            I bought this range because I moved to an electric only house. I had cooked on gas my whole life and read horror stories about how hard it is to control the temp on the coil type ranges like my house came with. So I sprang for this induction range because I read that's as close as I could get. So far true. I haven't burnt anything and it's easy to adjust the cook top element settings using the visual sliding scale. I also like the double oven. So far I've only used the smaller top one because its summer and its hot, but I'm looking forward to trying the lower convection oven when its a little cooler weather.

              So far so good!
              Purchased this stove about 6 months ago and this is my first experience with an induction cooktop. We were replacing a propane gas range and have found this to be a perfect solution between gas and electric. Plus, I love having the double ovens with the smaller of the two on top. We looked at another brand that was similar except the small oven was at the bottom and did not have a pull out rack making it seem more like a glorified warming drawer.

                Great oven
                Love the induction cooking. Instant changes in temperature are great! I was initially worried about the number of small cooking areas (6 and 7 inch cooking surface areas), all but the largest stock pot and frying pan work on those areas so it is perfect. Convection oven is great and I am glad I did get the double oven. The only drawback is trying to visualize your items in the lower oven without opening the door. You nearly have to get on the floor or just open the door to see. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

                  FINALLY GOT IT ALL!!!
                  We've had our Whirlpool Dbl. Oven Induction Range for a month and I love it! I cook all the time and it still looks like new. The induction works just like it should, boiling rapidly and simmering when I want it. I've only needed to use the small oven thus far. The control panels are very easy to use (logical). Nice with no knobs. We did have an electrician come in to change the back cord so that it would sit closer to the wall. Apparently it fits better with a 4 prong. Would have been good to know when ordered at the store. Depending on the use of both ovens at the same time, I could give this stove/range a five star.

                    Easy to use
                    We bought the double oven and stove in February. We really love the "boost" feature to heat water quickly! The only thing is, the stovetop will get scratches here and there. You will also need cookware that contains iron for use with the magnetic technology. We were not told that up front, so be aware of that. Overall, we are happy with our purchase.

                      Awesome Range!
                      This is our first induction stove top. It's really nice! We had to buy some new pots and pans, but knew we would. Just take a magnet with you when you go shopping and find magnetic pans. Instant on and instant off cooking. Works awesome! The double oven is really nice too. Works well.

                        Thrilled
                        My Whirlpool range is a replacement for a 1.5 year old Japanese make induction range that never did work property. I've had my new Whirlpool induction range for about three weeks now and I'm absolutely in love with it. The speed with which it boils is amazing. The quality seems remarkable. I'm still learning all of the features (like "simmer"), etc. and am learning something new each and every day as I do my day-to-day cooking. I'm so happy that we selected a "made in the USA" product knowing that if needed, we will be able to get parts. Hopefully we will not have to test that!

                          The only way to cook!
                          Induction cook top, dual ovens, convection cooking in main oven. Efficient, quiet, pretty. Worth its weight in Gold!

                            I love the speed of the induction cooktop and the compactness of the double ovens. Great design!

                              Outstanding range and oven for the avid home cook.
                              I am a Certified Culinarian (American Culinary Federation). Soups are my passion and artisanal bread is my obsession. My wife is the Chocolatier, Confectioner and does some custom cakes for personal friends. We have exceedingly high standards for our professional and personal equipment. As part of a long awaited gut and re-do of our home kitchen I did months of research and this is the only residential product that had all the features we required in a free-standing oven/range combination. And it will fit in our very small (120 Sq.Ft. ) residential kitchen. OK, so I'm spoiled by having daily access to steam injected deck ovens and the like. But as far as I could find, this is the only freestanding induction range with dual ovens. And "money was no object" on the stove choice, I would have paid more to get all these features in one unit.Every task we have thrown at this stove in the past month of ownership it has met our expectations. And we really pushed it with Natural Levain Boules, French Country Batard, Sourdough Pumpernickel Rye, etc. Melting, tempering, and holding 5 Kilo's of Belgian Dark Chocolate, no problem at all.The only serious limitation so far I have hit is the auto-off feature which can be an issue if you are say making demi-glaces, stocks, & reductions. I'll just have to stick to my steam jacketed kettles at work for 2-day reductions.The convection fan is quiet. At first I though it was not tuning on until I looked through the glass to _see_ if the fan is running.The ovens do take a bit longer to preheat than I would expect, but still far better than I would demand from a residential oven.A happy bonus is that you can use the upper oven to proof your dough while the bottom oven is running or cooling down.

                                Some Likes and Some Dislikes
                                Have owned the unit since Dec 2012 and cook 3 meals, 3x a day so it gets used. My first comment is that was obviously designed by someone who does not cook much!The timer beeps ONCE every minute. If you happen to not be in the room when it beeps you may take the trash out or go to get the mail between beeps without knowing your time is up. Not good if baking, etc. I have to use a manual timer to supplement.It is NOT Energy Star.The cooktop beeps if you put anything on top of it - I guess its a safety feature? But, very annoying if you use your stove top for staging a meal, etc.The top oven is wonderful! Nothing big/tall will fit but it is perfect for most dinners and can be tweaked to suit how you are used to baking. However, the rack does rub against the door when you take food out and there is not much space for your hands. Just something you need to learn to deal with.Haven't used the bottom oven yet - no need yet.Love the Induction! Takes a little getting used to but you can get a dinner started and done in no time once you get the hang of it.Another BIG negative is that the 220 cord on the back of the unit attaches on one side and there is no cavity for it to slip into when you push the unit back. The cavity is on the opposite side of the back which is ludicrous and a total design flaw. As a result, the unit does not push back all the way. Mine sticks out at least 1.5" past the front of my counter! Just hate that....The unit is beautiful - you will like the styling.Hope this helps you make your expensive decision!

                                  The induction stove top is awesome!
                                  Could use another large burner but overall love my new whirlpool range. The induction is the closest to gas for heating up, so if your a cook like I am you will love this range.

                                    Mixed reviews but would still recommend
                                    I love the induction cooktop and convection oven features of this range and those features have performed perfectly! My only complaints have to do mostly with design. With an induction cooktop, placement of pots on the "burners" is important and both the cooktop itself and the areas for the "burners" are black, so they are hard to see. Also, I would much prefer to have the large "burner" in front as it seems I use this one the most. The "touchpad" controls are not very responsive and I frequently have to make several attempts at turning things on, off, adjusting settings, etc. Conversely, I do not at all care for the hyper-sensitive "feature" of the cooktop that buzzes endlessly if anything but the proper induction cookware (ferromagnetic) is set on it. I think most people set their cookie sheets on the cooktop when they come out of the oven; you can't do that with this range and there is not a setting to shut that feature off. Finally, one thing I expected after reading up on this model was an exceptionally easy-to-clean range; however, I have found it to be exactly the same as my former, 15-year-old range in that aspect. Overall, though, I would still purchase this range for the features and price range I was looking for. The induction and convection features have made it worth the trade-off for me.

                                      I love the double ovens and the induction top.
                                      Overall I am happy with the stove, however the oven fans drive me insane. They run for over an hour some nights after the oven is off and they are LOUD! Much louder than my dishwasher. This needs to be addressed.

                                        WOW OF A WEDDING GIFT! LUCKY ME!
                                        My husband asked and this is what I wanted for a wedding gift. I'd been so happy and sold on convection/conduction cooking for a few years and this was the next step. What a difference to have such perfect control -- nothing is ever so-so -- nothing has to be watched and worried over any more. I bought a few pieces of new cookware, and while I'm not a great cook, my Whirlpool is!

                                          This product is very deceaving
                                          I purchased this double oven gas range last year. I thought it was going to be the best thing since sliced bread, but NOT..The gas eyes are not very powerful for a quick cook, the only one worth anything is the front left, which I use all the time. You CANNOT cook with many pots or pans on the top because it is not enough room to position them. Especially if you purchase the one with the middle burner which was told to me that it was a griddle and not a warmer. It will will not cook anything, but it will warm something, if you can get the pot in there while still cooking. Also, the ovens are not very good at baking, they don't brown on top. It cooks slow. Overall I give this a big fat 0

                                            Can't rate any features. This product has not worked since I have purchased it. 30 days and counting. Whirlpool's service is horrible. Do your checking. If something is wrong with a product, it is a nightmare to deal with whirlpool. My recommendation is to buy something else. Search f47 error code whirlpool induction because this cooktop is also under other product numbers. I found out to late. They keep telling me they are sorry. I am believing it.

                                              I have had this range for 30 days now and has worked a total of 3 minutes. I have been in contact with Whirlpool customer service with the promise of over night parts service. 8 days later no parts. Called back and they say I should receive parts in 2 days. 32 days with out a range... not good .... Go with another brand... Home Depot Great!!! Whirlpool not!

                                                Only thing negative about this, was getting rid of my brand new set of stainless steel cookware as it wouldn't work on induction stovetop. But I had researched on the Internet so was ready when it was installed, which went very well, very professional! Happy with the whole deal, so far.

                                                So Far So Good
                                                Wife wanted double oven, I wanted induction cook top. With this unit we both got what we wanted. We have had for about a week and it works as advertised. The burner controls are on the cook surface and very convenient. With the boost feature you can boil water in 90 seconds! The other feature I love is that you can set a timer on a burner and it will automatically go off and unlike electric, when it goes off all heat stops. Perfect for cooking rice it does not burn to bottom of pan. We have only used the upper oven so far. It heats up quickly but has a fan that is a bit loud and that fan stays on after you shut down the oven for a good 20 - 30 minutes after during it's cool down period. I purchased the 5 year warranty just in case since this is a brand new model. Happy so far!
