Kenmore 96212 / 96214 / 96219 Electric Range

Pros: Handsome looks. Plenty of features. Bakes potatoes to perfection.
Cons: Other than the oven light problem, nothing of consequence.

We’d been together almost ten months; yet I was hesitant to touch or even approach her. She’s beautiful but not gaudy or flashy, intricate but understandable, vulnerable yet strong and steadfast, familiar yet mysterious, hot but only after turned ...

Pros: Great price, large capacity and very usable functions and #4 on C. R. mags.
Cons: Tedious to clean top if no eyes are kept on it while cooking.

Again another one of my favorite appliances I like suggesting to my costumers. From a great price and usable features this stove is another one of my best sellers. It's a standard 30" free standing range with a smooth top with 5 burners, 5.4 c' self ...

Pros: smooth top, warming drawer
Cons: oven temp

I don't agree with the others, I have not had good luck with the oven portion of this range. I like the 5 burners and the smooth top is easy to clean. However, I have hot spots in my oven, it cooks things unevenly and almost impossible to put 2 of something in oven at the same time, one burns and one under cooks. I bought this after careful research and it seemed like the very best one to get, I am unhappy with it.I have an oven thermometer and still no luck.

Pros: Burners work great, nice oven
Cons: Cook top is a ROYAL pain to keep clean!

I wanted a dependable, easy-to-clean range with a $550-700 price point. The burners are great, the oven is very reliable and large, and the power burner boils water very quickly. Unfortunately, the cook top is nearly impossible to keep clean! Even just a water boil-over (which occurs with some frequency in my house) becomes a major clean up- exactly the opposite of what I wanted in a smooth top range. Even though I use the sponge and cook top cleaner recommended in the owner's manual, it takes a lot of time and elbow grease to clean the cook top. Every night.
