Whirlpool 5.0 cu. ft. Front Control Gas Range with Cast-Iron Grates

Overall I’m happy with the stove. It has a beautiful appearance and I like the sturdy cast-iron grates on top. One teacher we are unhappy with is the timer. I wish I had researched that more this one you have to manually hit the button for each minute you want it sent rather than hit a numeric setting pad. This becomes a little tedious and I could see it wearing out the actual button. I might buy a separate timer to avoid having to use this.

Bought new Whirpool applicances to replace my tired ones, and love the black stainless color with the brushed accents. A few weeks in, though, I'm regretting this stove purchase. The knobs and digital controls are on top, where every grease splatter lands. The plastic digital cover has a groove around it that just adds to the difficulty getting it clean, and I'm sure a year in, it will be horribly scratched up in spite of my careful cleaning. Cleaning splatters around every knob every time I cook is just miserable. I go over it once to get the debris & splatters, then again to try to get the smears clean with Windex, and then over and over with a microfiber cloth, trying to get the streaky finish polished. This stove would be great if all a person did is make tea, but for a cook, it's a shame that I now spend more time cleaning up than I do making a meal. It's disappointing that there is no 5th burner, and the drawer below is definitely flimsy. I could live with both, but the design in general, of having knobs & plastic with crevasses around the edges right where the worst splatter happens, is horrible. I've unfortunately had this a few days past the return policy, or I'd upgrade to the better convection model, so I'm stuck with it. I'm dreading spending the next 10 years trying to keep this range looking clean & shiny.

Got this because the kitchen renovations put the microwave lower at eye level and the existing stove had a high back - hiding the backsplash. Overall a good stove, only issues are the knobs twist counter clockwise and both large burners are in the front. Feel that the medium burner should come forward. - probably more a personal thing.

I bought this appliance three months ago and has been great Love the two big grids &The ease of using it. Your alarms are nice sounding and I love the black finger proof stainless

We bought this stove and had it installed a week ago. Love Whirlpool appliances. My parents always bought Whirlpool refrigerators and washing machines.
