Rated 4 out of 5 by Mothra No Broiler Pan?!
This $2500 stove does not come with a broiler pan. It does come with a certificate that lets you buy one for $19, but really, Kitchenaid? Really?
I love my stove. Had it for almost a year, with no major problems. What I like: gas cooking on top is excellent, very sensitive and responsive controls. Two really big burners boil large pots of water fast. Electric baking is the best--consistent heat, and the small top oven preheats very quickly. I find myself using the top (smaller) oven almost daily--so convenient.
What I don't like: The central grill is pretty much useless to me. I don't make pancakes or grilled cheese sandwiches all that often, and I don't own a large oval pot. My old stove had a tiny central burner which was very useful; this one, not so much. It does a good job; it's just that I don't use it often enough to justify a dedicated grill area.
The small burners at the back are virtually unusable except for small pots--maybe 2 qt. max--and so I can't use them to simmer stews and sauces that I make in a large pot. And the front burners are too hot to maintain a simmer; everything burns, even with lots of stirring. But I've solved this by buying a $10 "flame tamer" which allows me to simmer for hours on the smaller of the two front burners.
The lower convection oven works well and reduces baking time. The movement of air negates the need to turn pans of cake or cookies to assure even cooking. But since the lower over is almost floor-level, it may be difficult for some to use safely. I don't have a problem, but maybe in ten years I won't be able to bend over so easily!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Phil So far so good
Have had the product 1 month and very happy so far. Double oven is very convenient and controls simple to understand. Takes a while longer to preheat than my old GE Profile.
AJ Madison experience was outstanding. Best price available and I spent much time shopping around. Delivery within 3 days of order was totally unexpected. Product was uncrated at my home and a small dent was noticed on the side rear of the unit. Would be unnoticeable once put in place in the kitchen. No worries as AJ credited me an additional 7% of my purchase price for the trouble. Would definitely buy from them again.

Rated 2 out of 5 by kitchen fanatic Sooo Dissappointed
We had this range installed 3 months ago and it already is broken. The part that needs replacing is some gas solenoid regulator. It is amazing that the part is already damaged. We were so excited to get this range and now I am sorry we even spent the money on it. The worse part is Whirlpool/Kitchenaid does not provide quick service and take a week to supply the parts. I can see there is not any great reviews about this range and I am waiting for the next thing to break. I am glad we bought the 4 year service plan now from the Bay as I know they will not make any money from us. it will cost them much more in the end than the $500 for the 4 yr service plan. Furthermore, the really annoying thing is the Ancaster Ontario service company called AMNN Appliance in Hamilton did not bother to order the part the same day (they did the service call and they were here at 2:30 pm to diagnose the problem) the guys who do the ordering Ray and Bert didn't bother to order the part until the next morning (so they will not receive it until after the weekend.) No range all weekend and I am so disappointed with the whole product/service system Kitchenaid has in place...poor choice of repair contactors.it ..is run on inefficiencies and by people move slow and who do not care it seems. Steer clear of this product and especially if you live in Hamilton Canada as you will be disappointed eventually by either product or service..hopefully later rather than sooner like us.

we were so excited to get this range because of all the features that we wanted it provided. however, the middle oval burner for the griddle has warped 4 times. even using a low heat, which defeats the purpose doesn't help. Whirlpool insists on replacing it 4 times before they will consider a replacement stove and even then there is no guarantee. for most of the time we have had it we have not been able to use the middle burner. that was one of the main features for us. After dealing with Whirlpool service, I will not buy another Kitchenaide or Whirlpool appliance.
