Can you spell TROUBLE?
My range came with the model home we purchased 2 years ago.  I much prefer gas ranges, but OH WELL, the builder didn't go that route. 

Tricky to Clean
Our glasstop has been tricky to keep clean, plus we had to drive all over town looking for the special stuff you have to have in order to clean it (finally found it at Bed Bath & Beyond, who would have guessed?).   

I'm Burning Up
The burners drive me a little nuts because they go on and off to regulate the temperature.  I think this drives the food in the pan a little crazy, as well as the cook.  My biggest issue, however, is with the broiler, which has ceased working properly at only two years' time.   I put poblano peppers under the broiler to roast them and 45 minutes later, at "500 degrees" the skins were not yet fully done.   Crazy, huh?  I obviously need a repair call, but that kind of irritates me at only two years. 

Worse Still...
I just discovered RUST on my range!  We open the windows 3-6 months a year, and don't think fresh air should mandate regular stove replacement.   

Bottom Line:  Libby Loathes It.
