Pros: nice looking and fit my space.
Cons: keypad replaced 3 times. oven 'brain' needed to be replaced. probe doesn't work.

bought this gas range april, 2004. did not use til june, 2004 until after kitchen remodel. ceramic glass top turned out to be a very dark garnet, not black. shows every speck of splatter, very hard to clean. probe doesn't work, didn't know that until jan ...

Pros: High BTU burner, simmer burner, programmable, lots of settings, excellent customer service.
Cons: Tough to clean grates, one high output burner, Electronics controls failed at 5 years.

My wife and I moved into our new home last fall. We were delighted that a relatively new range was in our new kitchen. We were graduating from a non-programmable oven without convection so were very pleased with the upgrade. We like all of the ...

Pros: sharp looks, touch glass controls, easy clean ceran top, convenient timers
Cons: glossy black grates are hard to clean, questionable durability of electronics

We bought this kitchaid range after a long period of consideration involving many different models. ...

Pros: Great cooktop, lots of eye appeal.
Cons: Small oven.

I was shopping Dacor and Thermador ranges when my wife reminded me that we're expecting a second child, and said she thought spending $2,000+ for a stove would be reckless. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but she was right. I'm happy to report this...

Pros: Excellent burners; easy convection conversion; wonderful proofing for yeast doughs
Cons: Gas smell/leak: difficult to keep black Ceran cooktop clean

Purchased the range in November. Very easy to use; not so easy to keep the black Ceran cooktop clean and looking polished. It streaks easily, and must be completely cool for the cleaner provided with the range to work well. The large burners boil water...

Pros: Great performance, baking, broiling, and stovetop. Great range of BTUs.
Cons: Black glass stove top gets dirty easily. A little smaller than non-convection models I've owned.

I've owned this for about a year now. The performance is excellent. I love the fact that you have different sized burners to get the whole range from fast boils to melting chocolate. The grates covering the entire top are an excellent feature. My...

Pros: Great performance, good burners, oven and broiler
Cons: Uneven baking, annoying touchpad, taller than others

I've had the range for about 3 months. Overall it's great. The burners are wonderful, even operating on propane (many other ranges seem to reduce the BTU output a lot when running on propane). We used to have a viking in a previous house. I'd rate this...

Pros: Like the convection oven, easy to clean, great high-power burner
Cons: Constant gas leakage smell

I bought the Kitchenaid Superba slide in range with convection oven at Sears in October 2001. It works very well, especially the high power burner that boils water incredibly fast. I like the top grates because pans can be moved from high power to the...

Pros: Lots of features, most areas easy to clean
Cons: Burner grates and sealed burner covers very difficult to clean

OK. I have to admit that when we moved into our home 6 months ago, it had an electric range. I was in misery. So, I could have bought the most worthless gas range on the planet and I would have written a good review for it. But that being said, I do feel...

Pros: Serious power, easy to clean, and more features than I can use.
Cons: Smallish oven

O.k., so I was attracted to the KitchenAid because it's really good looking. But it really performs, too. The KitchenAid KGST307HBS has near-commercial grade performance (think Viking) with luxury brand looks and features (think Thermador or Dacor) for...

Pros: quality and cost
Cons: low BTU output on range at "HI" setting

In the last 3 years I have purchased two KitchenAid slide-in gas ranges for two separate homes. In my opinion, for a price below the commercial ranges, and above the standard low end offerings, a quality range with many features can be had. I found the...

Pros: Cooks evenly. Easy to clean. Stylish. Storage drawer.
Cons: Flame setting doesn't go low enough.

Why We Purchased Kitchen Aid This time I didn't go to Consumer Reports for my choice in buying a new range. We needed a slide-in range, and after looking for weeks, this model was the only one that would fit in the designated area ...

Pros: Excellent cooking results
Cons: grates are hard to keep clean

I had always known of KitchenAid's reputation for well-made products, so when shopping for a new range in March of '99, KitchenAid was on my list. We chose a slide-in range with convection oven. The benefits of the convection feature of this range became...

Pros: Looked nice
Cons: Expensive to repair & required repair often

We bough the kitchen aid Superba slide in when we remodel our kitchen in 2001. since then we have had to have the door replaced and the computer control panel replace twice. The door still doesn't work right and the oven has just quit completely and we're done spending money on this lemon.

Pros: looks pretty
Cons: doesn't work, expensive to fix, terrible customer service

Our 2 year old gas range was just repaired at a cost of $934.35! It turned out that the control console had heat damage to the circuitry requiring the replacement of the console (354.99) and the timer microcomputer (426.99) plus labor. Clearly this is a design issue as there is no heat shielding or insulation to protect the circuitry in the console. Kitchen Aid was contacted about the problem but denied that it was an issue. Clearly it is.
