"We remodeled our kitchen last summer (2008), totally gutting it & beginning from scratch. I ordered all my appliances & sink from this site. So many things were great surprises since I hadn't seen any of them in person until they were delivered..
This is an awesome range!! It replaced a 1970's double oven electric range.
I had never used a ceramic cooktop or convection oven prior to this one. I couldn't be happier!
1. It's beautiful!
2. Ceramic cooktop cleans up beautifully with much less elbow grease. I still have not used the entire sample cream cleanser that came with it but am on my 3-4 package of wipes. When wiping up a spill while cooking the towel doesn't catch fire. I even melted plastic dishes to a burner, was sure I ruined the stovetop but every single trace of plastic came off!
3. LOVE the burner versatility.
4. Both ovens are capable of multiple functions - toast & broil are the two I use on the top oven most, baking & conv. baking in the bottom.
5. Bottom oven has 3 racks, one is a 2 section rack that pulls out almost twice as far as the others for smooth checking of items to be stirred or basted.
6. Self-cleaning feature was a huge surprise! Never had one that really worked before. The top oven gets super grungy due to the broiling but it cleans up like new.
7. Control panel includes two timers.
8. Both ovens and one burner have 'warm' settings.
9. Ovens 'beep' when preheated & warm up quickly.
I have numerous health issues & am the caregiver for my mother who is bedridden. My goal was to get appliances to make my life easier & this range is perfect! I couldn't have asked for better. I waited a year to write this review. I have nothing bad to say, no disappointments.
If there could be one improvement I could make it would be to illuminate the buttons on the control panel.
Maytag = Happy Cooking :)"
