Whirlpool Downdraft Duct-Free Kit (W10768190) - Stainless Steel

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this range a month ago. It is a perfect match with great features for my cooking and baking. It is easy to handle and never goes wrong.

I've had this range for just over a year. I love the way it looks and the non-marking stainless finish. Unfortunately that's about it. The oven takes forever to heat up. The burners are not responsive to temperature changes... I've burned things and also thought things were cooking when they were not. Though this is my first electric range and so maybe this is a challenge with all of them. The bell/beep on the timer is too quiet. More disturbing: the enamel coating inside the oven has chipped in three places where the racks slide in. And the heat markers on the knobs on the front are STICKERS that have gotten wrinkled on two knobs (so far--it's the ones we use the most) and I'm sure will eventually peel off or crack etc. This is a fairly expensive oven that, after a short time, feels cheap. I would not recommend!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought it 1 year ago and and from the beginning cleaning of its cooktop glass was so difficult. I tried different ways that I learnt through the Internet, but non of them worked and and after one month many scratches and stains appeared that it is not possible to clean. Another important issue that I faced recently is the main heater element that is supposed to cycle on and off to avoid causing very high temperature is not working and it works continuously and I should be careful otherwise my food burns. I hope Kitchenaid service department at least provides me more information about its warranty and how to fix likely infinite switch problem.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Used for a couple of month now, works fine. Study and solid, we like it.

came in with a poor finish on the knob, fine scratches on the middle corner of the front of the stove. stove door had a weird finish smear that looked like drops of liquid in the production process. i would add a photo but doing it on a computer takes too long. brand new, not a showroom display model. i expect it to be flawless for this kind of money. should have bought a miele but wanted to complete the kitchenaid kitchen with kitchenaid EVERYTHING. if kitchenaid doesn't step up i think my other house will be full on miele appliances with german branded coffee makers, toaster, toaster oven, mixer, blender, etc etc etc
