Cooks fine, Aqualift not at all effective
This range came with our new home 5 years ago and I have tried to clean it several times using the Aqualift feature. This last time I ran 4 cycles and the bottom of the oven still had baked on splatter that is impossible to remove. The stove top and oven work fine but you cannot get this oven clean!!!!

      My 2nd Whirlpool Apliance
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great range! Love the burners as they cook evenly. Large oven will be great at holidays. Appreciate the concept of the Aqualift Self Clean technology. Haven't tried it yet, obviously, but assume it will work well.Was surprised by how shallow the storage drawer at the bottom is. I guess it is because you get a large oven.

            Good range
            Haven't really spent a lot of time with this range, so I can't give an accurate description. Only problem I've found so far is that the display is a bit to blurry, and does not match the over the range display. That's only personal opinion though.

                Impressed except for one small detail
                We've had the unit less than a week and so far it has performed flawlessly. The unit snugs nicely into the counter and cabinets and looks very finished, almost like a built in. The door handle looks to be milled out of a single piece of aluminum and has a very sculptural shape. The only issue we have is at both ends of this handle the aluminum is cut off sharply which fits well with the bracket but the cut also formed a very sharp point on the top and bottom edge (both sides). My wife ruined a shirt when she caught it on this point. Fortunately it was an easy fix with a small file and the repair is not even visible.

                Exceeded my expetations!
                I love the sleek style as well as how user friendly the oven is. It was not a complicated process to transition from my old oven to this new oven. I especially love the range. The range provides many options and sizes to fit the pan you are using to cook with.

                  Great temperature control.
                  I {62 year old male} love to bake bread and sometimes cookies and this range is great at holding the right temp, I have never used a convection oven before and I just love the way it browns the bread and rolls. It makes nice crispy oven fries to. The large window is not only nice to look at but I like to watch as the bread cooks. I wasn't sure I needed the 5th burner but I found it really helpful to keep sauces warm.All and all I am very satisfied with this range the controls are easy to use,I cook and my wife cleans and she likes the way it cleans up.

                    Love My New Range
                    I purchased an AquaLift Self Cleaning Range (Stainless Steel). I have already tried the AquaLift self cleaning technology which is very different from the high temperature cleaning technologies. It essentially steam cleans the oven vs. incineration, which is much easier on the range components, etc. that should help it to last for years to come!

                        Love it!
                        I love it.. really. Of course my old stove was about 25 years old so... Very spacious oven and heats up quickly. Feature are intuitive and minimalistic. The glass is kinda hard to clean, but then it is glass top. I LOVE the hidden element in oven... soooo much easier to clean. Getting used to cooking on glass top... burners glow red and then don't so I am always wondering if getting hot. (that's just me not reflection of stove) I also worry about scratching or breaking glass. What I wish I knew before purchase is what type of pans best for cooking on it, Stainless Steel is best. Anything else could scratch or discolor it. DO NOT use Aluminum on it or anything with a colored bottom. It is hard and expensive to find good nonstick Stainless Steel pans.

                        Great range!
                        Great range! Need to get used to keeping stainless steel clean and the glass cook top clean, but we really like it! Remember, you need to buy the power cord for it. It is easy to install, I did it myself (a girl) pretty fast. I just needed help caring it into the kitchen. The bottom drawer is a little small, but that helps you not over fill it, so I guess that is a god thing.

                          LOVE IT! HOME ON THE RANGE!
                          The cooktop is not quite as easy to clean or keep looking good as our old one which was ten+ years old.Other than that everything is fine-we love it.This is our first black range-we also purchased a whiirlpool black rangehood because the old one was white.That works beautifully as well!Now we need a whirlpool black refrigerator to replace our old whirlpool white one which we will donate to habitat for humanity.

                            Great experience to start our kitchen remodel
                            As I mentioned in my review of the microwave we purchased along with this range, we are very please with our experience with Home Depot and the delivery guys. The cook top and controls are operating beyond our expectations. We have not used the oven, yet, but I like the storage and the fact that the range element is hidden. This should make cleaning a lot easier.

                            GREAT BUY
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this stove about a month, was delivered promptly. I started using this stove right away, like the burners on the stove, oven temperature is great, easy to learn features, just a great appliance.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this a couple of weeks ago. I love the convection oven, the choices of burner sizes.

                                    It is a great stove/oven.
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I am please with my new range. It has many features that I didn't have before. I love the warming burner. My only concern is the electronics. I hope they hold up. Also, I am not impressed with the self cleaning oven. It is not what I thought I was getting. It is some low powered cleaning option that only seems to clean the bottom of the oven, and even that takes some work. And you can't use easyoff for the rest.

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Electric range the end of May and had to relearn how to operate a range with so many features. After about 2 months (since I do not bake or use the oven much I finally got it! I love it and am baking more for family and friends.

                                          Haven't used it much
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have have had my stove for about 3 weeks now. I had to boil some potatoes and eggs for my churches Thanksgiving dinner and I had 3 burners going all on high and it took the water 20 or so minutes to even start to boil, I was not pleased with this, it should not take it that long to start boiling, I have also fried boneless chicken and I was pleased with the heating of the coils, It is a smart energy saving cooker so the coils will heat up and cool down, I was fascinated by that and thought it was nice. When I cleaned the stove top it was not an easy clean up, it seems like there are markings and a bubbly Paterson on the soft surface of the coils and can't get them off. My husband read up on how to clean a soft surface electric stove and they recommended using a razor blade and softly scrape it with non abrasive cleanser so he did that for me and it did do the trick, I'm really hoping this stove top does not do what other reviewers have said it has done for them! Other than that I think the stove will maybe prove to be it a great investment. It is really to soon for me to recommend this stove at this time. Thank you for allowing me to make my review, hopefully will come back after I have used it more and be able to give a better review of It.

                                            Heating Element failed at 4 years
                                            Bought 4 years ago. Performed well until element went. Also rust starting under paint on top above control screen. Very shallow/tight pan draw.

                                                Nice upgrade
                                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a radiant heat stove when I got this one, it was 19 years old and time for a new one before the holidays. I do like this one, at first I was a little annoyed as it seemed to take a long time to cook things, however, it seems to be a plus as it cooks much more evenly that my old one. I haven't tried the aqua lift, but anything has to be better than the heat generated by the regular self-cleaning feature. The glass top is much more slick and for whatever reason, a lot harder to clean and I'm not a messy cook as I clean it every day. I could just use hot soapy dish water to clean the old one, but it doesn't seem to work well on this top. I'm sure a lot of my concerns will be minimized as I become more familiar with this stove. Overall, I do like it and I didn't need any high end stove, so it suits me just fine.

                                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been very happy with our oven and its dependability. Our kitchen is full of the stainless Whirlpool appliances & everything looks & works amazing. The only thing we would change is the ease of cleaning the top - I'm sure we can look up some tips and have it cleaned up in a jiffy!
