Kenmore Gas Range 78769 — 

The first few weeks I was proud that I had purchased this range for my wife. But after using the self-cleaning oven feature and finding all of the chrome racks inside warped, distorted and discolored by the heat, I was less proud.

Nothing in the instructions said to remove the guts of the range before cleaning, and I'd never had to do so with three previous ranges that I had owned. After about a month, I noticed that the finish on the heavy cast iron top burner grates were starting to bubble and peel. Again, nothing had been mentioned in the instructions about removing the burner grates before placing pots and pans on them to cook food.

I also discovered that the black finish on the range is a poorly applied paint job. The top control panel is now scratched and marred from pans touching it from time to time.

I'll never buy another Kenmore range again.
