Conclusion
When considering a modern, high-technology range purchase for your home, several issues must be considered. First, every homeowner needs to assess the market and consider how much money to spend to satisfy their cooking needs effectively and conveniently. Also, buyers should make certain that a specific range model will fit into their kitchen.
For homeowners that want a more customized look for a reasonable price, a slide-in unit with front mounted controls is a good option because the cooktop typically overlaps the cabinet slightly, giving the range a custom look. For homeowners that desire function over style, a freestanding range is generally a far more economical choice.
Today, most electric freestanding ranges come in stainless steel finishes and feature black ceramic glass cooktops that give them a sleek look. Also, homeowners should consider what their cooking needs are today and likely to be in the future. For people that do not bake very much, for example, cooktop function and performance are crucial. However, users that bake and roast a lot in the oven will want to assess features, capacity, and performance of each oven, as aspects of the oven may be just as important as cooktop performance.

Overall, this range is an excellent buy for someone that wants great oven performance and flexibility and doesn’t value cooktop performance or styling as highly.
