Our oven is dying a slow death...

It took about 40 minutes to cook a frozen pizza last night. We've been in our house six years and the over has never really worked right, but this is the worst it's ever been. So I think it is time to start shopping.

Has anyone recently purchased a new gas stove? Just wondering who the top brands are these days. Anyone have access to Consumer Reports info?

 

Re: Our oven is dying a slow death...

  • I have access to CR online...  PM me your email and I'll send you a screen shot.
  • Perhaps you've considered this but have you checked into an estimate to have it repaired?  You may just need to replace the temperature sensor.
  • I don't have oven recs but I would recommend getting a pizza oven if you do a lot of frozen pizzas. 

    We have one and love it!  The crust is always crispy and the cheese nice and brown.  The best part is you don't have to wait while the oven warms and heat the house in summer.

  • I don't have a recommendation for brands but my friend just bought a stainless steel gas stove for $499 at the Sears Outlet store in Blaine the other day. I don't know what brand it was but she got the stove for half price if I remember correctly. Maybe check there and also Appliance Smart.

  • Consumer Reports likes GE and Kenmore ranges.  The highest scoring gas models recently have been the GE JGBP88DEM, Kenmore Elite 7753, Kenmore 7138, GE Profile PGB910SEM, and Kenmore 7744.  Also the Hotpoint RGB745DEP scored well, and it's pretty affordable.  According to a survey, KitchenAid and Maytag ranges were most repair prone.
  • If you look up some of the previously mentioned ranges on a website like sears.com or bestbuy.com, you can also read reviews from customers who have purchased that item already. I always like to read those, since they come from people who are actually using the product on a regular basis.

    All of our kitchen appliances are Whirlpool Gold, that's what was in the house when we bought it. I'm not thrilled with them. They don't seem any nicer than the Frigidaire ones we bought for our condo, and I know the Whirlpool Gold appliances cost a lot more - the previous owners of our house left all the paperwork and receipts with us so I know how much they paid. Our Whirlpool ones were not worth the money.
