I agree with your comments. When it works it bakes unbelievable well, but it really does take a long time to reach temperature and i have had 2 temperature probes and the computer replaced. Right now i am baking and its beepig every 2 secs trying to maintain the 400 temperature. I hate it and yet i love it. What a total dissapointment. Now i am fighting with sears to replace. Never will i buy Kenmore again.
