http://www.viewpoints.com/Kitchen-Ranges Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:59:54 GMT Reviews about Kitchen Ranges http://www.viewpoints.com/GE-PGS968TEMWW-PGS968BEMBB-PGS968KEMCC-Gas-Range--159443-review-68f66 I love the look of this range, the glass top is really niceand looks great with our Zodiac Countertops. So far it has been very easy to use, all the controls are centrally located and when I need to see how to do something the manual is nicely organized. I purchased this model because I wanted a convection oven with a gas cook-top but didn't have 240 wiring available (therefore I couldn't do duel fuel) so opted to do the gas convection using 120 wiring. This was the only range that I could find with good consumer ratings that offered gas convection. The convection works great, even the chicken comes out moist. I have only two things that I wish were different. The grates are grey porcelain, I would have preferred black cast iron as over time the porcelain gets hard to clean. The cook top is high at 38" and I am short at 5'2", reaching the back burners is a stretch for me. — — On another web site a person complained that the top was hard to clean but so far this has not...

I knew I wanted gas burners and electric ovens, the best combination for better rangetop control and thorough baking temperatures. I wanted a stove large enough to cook Thanksgiving dinner for all my brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews without cooking everything in shifts and reheating it later.  I chose a Thermardor Professional Pro Grand Duel Fuel Range. — Switching from a plain, Sears-model electric oven and range to the Thermador was like getting behind the wheel of a Corvette after driving a Ford Pinto for years. VOOM! I eschew user manuals but had to read the Thermardor manual carefully after my first pork roast came out tasting like baked plastic.  (Note: use convection settings only for baked goods, not for meat!) — Having the gas burners and electric oven means better control over cooking. Rice, for...

I also had this model LG range which, upon my first use of the self-cleaning oven, part of the enamel on the interior of the oven wall came off. The range was still under the manufacturer's warranty but it took a while for them to find a repair service to come out. The range was determined to be "unrepairable" but it then took weeks of calls and discussions to get the range replaced which used up a lot of warranty time. However, I was eventually told this model was no longer available so I was sent a cheaper model to replace it. It seems they would send a better model since they had discontinued my inferior model. Also, when LG replaces an appliance, the manufacturer's warranty does not start over so I am now stuck with a very limited manufacturer's warranty (3 months) which was left on the old model. I also had purchased a dishwasher from LG which is also inferior and defective and this item still hasn't been resolved. It's been over...

August 21, 2007 oven overheated while baking a cake.  Cake was placed on middle rack with an aluminum cookie sheet placed on the rack below. — Over heating caused the cookie shee to MELT and DRIP ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN  WHERE IT FUSED TO THE METAL of the oven bottom causing smoke and a strong odor.  Repair service agents used their meters checked the stove and said there was NO problem.  I pursued this further with Customer Service but without success. I cannot bake in this oven; cakes, breads brown and cook on top ... but the insides are raw.  — The top burners are now turning dark black in the center of the burners. — The stove is definitely defective but Sears even after several phone calls and visits to the store, refused to offer any  resolution.  I've been a customer...

Some parts were still under warranty, but not labor costs. A local service repairman came and fixed the problem - something about wires coming loose in the back.  A few days later the burner did not come on again, and then did. So I am back to the same problem - although the oven has worked properly thus far.  Needless to say, I was...

Anyhow my old stove that was here went kaput so my husband and I went to Lowe's to fins another cheep stove. — You do get what you pay for...this stove looked nice enough, nothing fancy, just an ordinary stove. Or so I thought. — The one gripe that I have is that when using the oven the door gets very hot...Do not touch the oven door when the oven is in use! — Often times while cooking my youngest daughter will come in and see what I'm doing. She likes to touch things to see if they are hot. I touch it first to be sure she won't get hurt before telling her to feel something. Well once while cooking something in the oven she came up and wanted to touch the door, I touched it first to see if it was OK (our other oven is very well insulated and not even warm to the touch when in use) it was way too hot for her to touch so I had to give...

It is wonderful and easy to cook on.  I was concerned about the ease of cleaning but it is not a problem at all and sooo much easier than the burners with the "pan" underneath them.  Never could get them clean —...

It replaced a Kenmore Elite Duel Fuel that had so many problems that the repair man just couldn't fix it any more so the store that we bought it from said to pick out any stove that we wanted, so I went to Consumers Report and found the GE stove, what a find! I just did a turkey using the probe and it was the moistest turkey we ever had. Everything I do with this stove comes out perfect. If you need a new stove look into this one I'm glad I...

No more brillo pad type cleaning of coils or aluminum foil. I do regret that small burners are located in the back and large burners are located in the front. This brand does not have a middle burner as some models do. I recommend if you are purchasing a glass top stove that you have at least one small burner in the front otherwise it can be difficult and clumsy to reach back for one pot on the back.The cleaning of the glass top is super easy with available cleaners. Burned on crust comes off very easily and that is a real treat after scrubbing baked on coils for many years. Watch for design that is convenient for you. —...
