Best stove, ever.
By Steven R. Mocarski
OK, so this serious design flaw that other folks mention appears to be quite common among stoves. My mother in law has the same issue on her stove (not a kitchen aid) and even (gasp!) spilled something between the glass. I almost didnt buy it for that reason, but I'm glad I did. My wife and I have used the stove daily and perhaps because I was aware of the issue -- we've not had any spillage issues. If I ever do spill something, I expect this will match my butcher block, which is also stained because we use it. While we've not had any stains on the stove, we have, however, had brilliant baked goods, wonderful soups, risottos and paella, and of course, some damn fine pizza.
To be fair, we were coming from a fully electric stove which could bake relatively well and was also skilled at both burning and undercooking items on the stovetop. For all its faults, our electric stove could boil water quickly, but not as quickly as this. Why do I mention the electric stove? Because it was 220. When I replaced it with this gas stove, I had to run a gas line but NOT change the outlet. It just plugged right in, and we get the best of both worlds: an electric oven that heats quickly and evenly and a gas stove with precise control. Just. Brilliant.
The KitchenAid is not without its flaws. I dont like the range grates. They are an unfinished matte black metal which looks great at first but they're not as easy to clean as I'd like. The middle (5th) burner is not strong enough to be as useful as it could be. I wish the oven was like an inch deeper to better fit my pizza stone.
All in all, its a great stove and doesnt deserve the low reviews posted here so far.

By Marie R. Seibel
Bought this stove earlier this spring. It actually arrived in less than a week and the delivery guys brought it into the house and un-crated it for me. A friend who is a plumber came over the next day and hooked it up.
I've got to say that I love it. The burners work great and the ovens are just perfect. I've found that it takes longer to preheat the bottom oven than the top one so unless it's something tall, I usually just bake in the top one. Cakes, cookies, biscuits and bread all come out perfect. The convection works great too.
I've done a lot of canning this year and it works like a champ. Setting a stable temperature for my pressure canner is really easy. I really like the lock feature, especially when my younger grandchildren were visiting.
The only change I would make would be to make the griddle slightly larger. Although it's perfect for cooking a couple of eggs and bacon for my husband and myself, it's really too small to cook more than that (or two pancakes) at one time.
The ovens are electric but don't have heat coils in them so cleanup is just wiping out the oven once it cools. I haven't (and may never) tried the self-clean feature.
It's a great stove and I would buy it again.

Design Flaw
By Dakota
Ranges with the oven vents at the top of the door are a major issue. Any spills from the burners go right between the glass in the door. Impossible to clean without taking the door apart. KitchenAid and other manufacturers need to redesign this soon.
