KitchenAid KGRS505XSS

Pros: High-powered burners, Large capacity

Cons: Hard to keep clean, Not durable, Poorly built, Unreliable

We own this range for over a year and we had enough problems with it during this time. In the beginning the grates started to rust – they were replaced during the first two weeks of owning. Not so long ago the right burner stopped working. It got stuck and wouldn't work anymore. These days another burner, the left one, stopped working. Besides there are some stains on the surface and none of the cleaners help.

This range is a big disappointment for me. I expect too have even more problems in the future, but we will see....

Pros: Cooks well, Heats evenly, Large surface area, Responsive burners, Simple controls, Versatile performance

Our previous stove served us for over 30 years and finally it broke. I do love cooking, that's why the selection was rather hard. This KitchenAid range is great and I love it. Variety of burners let me cook several dishes at once and the cooking surface is large enough. The ovens bake evenly and quickly.

In general the the range is easy to use and the controls are almost intuitive. It is just gorgeous!

Pros: Large capacity, Stylish look

Cons: Design flaw, Poorly built, Small surface area

Double oven is great. Huge capacity and, as a result, more cooking opportunities. This range matches my kitchen interior very well, but it caused me a lot of problems during 4 months of use.

This range is poorly designed and it is extremely inconvenient. I hate it! The proportions of the cooktop are awful. I can't have two pans on one side at once. They don't fit! Knobs take up about 6 inches of the cooking area! Do I really need that?! I am very disappointed. I liked my old range more.
