I've owned this for about a month now. The various burners take some getting used to if you've always had just one kind to cook with, but once you get the hang of them, they can be very beneficial to your cooking. I really like the sealed cook top. It's easy to clean and I don't have to worry about food being left under the cook top. The oven heats up fairly quickly and the front of the oven stays relatively cool. I was concerned that the oven wouldn't be big enough because most 30" ovens have 5 cubit foot ovens and this is less than 4, but it seems to be big enough for our needs. There...

I have had this range for a couple months now and am in love with it except with a few exceptions I will explain below.. My baking turns out great, and I love the stove top cooking.
The ceramic glass is easy to clean, just clean with a sponge and polish with a microfiber cloth.
There was an odor upon first usage of the stove which burned off after a tech told me to leave the oven on for 35 min at 350. Now it doesn't have the odor anymore. Just a break in procedure.
Now the down side. I had a technician out because the door was not closing flush and the drawer was crooked and...

This oven looks just like a VIKING and that's why I was drawn to it. I love to cook & I always get compliments on how beautiful my oven is. I love cooking with it because I can make so much at one time and it fits in the huge space that my old fifties oven took up. I makes the kitchen look amazing! It's the nicest thing in the kitchen and turned my old 50's kitchen into a more modern looking one as soon as we put it in. It heats up much faster than other ovens so I had to adjust my cooking time to less time which is awesome. I use the power burner all the time to heat up bubbling water...
read full review »Although I received my gas range defective, upon receiving the missing part 4 months later (yes, I had to repair the range myself as the service department doesn't realize that "service" is part of their name and would not come to look at my range unless it was either Tuesday or Thursday ), range performs great. The part which was missing was the leveling foot so I could not even install my anti tipping device: once intalled, my cakes and souffles are perfect! Sauces are a breeze with great temperature controls.
Sucks hate to clean it, very hard to keep clean. When oven is on, I have 3 fans going in the kitchen? and the kitchen isn't even that big When burner is on, I have 2 fans going Puts out an enormous amount of heat so disappointed. Should have bought the cheap one for $1,000 less
We searched for a 36" stove to replace the one we had for months and came across the Kenmore Elite at the Kmart near our home, the bonus was that it was on sale! We do love it the other thing I have never had before is a self cleaning oven, it works so easy and cleans the oven so well and then you just have to wipe it down.
The Kenmore Elite stove is very useful for my family in the way that it has six burners. We have five people in our family and we are Baptist so we love to eat . I hope you find this stove useful when you start to cook with it . THANKS!!!!!
We have had this range for a month and absolutely love it! It has the upscale stainless steel range look, without the price. Just be aware that the 2 side panels are textured black, not stainless. (The way the ranges are displayed at the store, you cannot see the 2 sides.) The power burner is fantastic and the oven preheat is super fast. I was worried about a glass cooktop, but it cleans up beautifully. Buy it on sale and save around $300.

We purchased this stove after looking at endless sales in stores and online. This stove has far exceeded my expectations. It looks great but what's great is the high quality in which it was made. It cooks evenly is easy to clean and has 5 burners! I recommend this stove to anyone who loves to cook.
This stove purchase was researched and shopped for for many months and after much deliberation we finally decided to purchase from Sears. We went into the Sears Appliance store in Pearland Tx and found the stove we wanted and was told by the salesman that he could put us in this model with a 36 in width, but we would have to order online. We then went to the computer in the store and he ordered this model. I looked at the pictures too and thought I was asking all the right questions. It turns out we got a bigger heavier model than the one I thought I was ordering. I have agreed to keep and...
