Review Text: Even better than expected!. After replacing parts on our old Kenmore for the third time, we decided it was time for a new range. We researched options and were intrigued with the concept of an induction cooktop. We also knew we wanted front controls so we weren't reaching over steaming pots to control the burners. Consumer Reports recommended Frigidaire and it quickly went to the top of our list! Other things we liked about this range were the air fry oven feature, the dual cleaning oven (both quick steam and standard high heat cleaning), the enclosed bottom oven element (for easier cleaning), and the Frigidaire $100 back on labor to modify our kitchen counter to fit the new range. Pros: I've never seen water boil as quickly as it did on our new cooktop! 2 cups of tap-cold water came to a boil in 45 seconds! We LOVE how the kitchen is cooler when we cook, thanks to the induction technology that only heats the pan and not the actual cooktop. The instant response of the heat levels is similar to cooking with gas, with greater control. The oven heats MUCH more evenly than our old oven. We've not yet tried the Air Fry feature, so I can't comment on that, but I anticipate being happy with it as well. The optional Air Fry basket may be in our future! I love that the burners automatically shut off if there's no pan on them, and that they automatically adjust to the size of the pan. The broiler cooks more evenly than our old oven too! Cons: The range was filthy when it arrived! I actually had to vaccuum, wipe down, then run the oven TWICE with our exhaust fans on to burn off the residual dust before we could use it! The tape used to protect the stainless steel also left heavy gum residue that we had to remove with Goof Off. It appeared the range had been sitting in non-temperature-controlled storage for an extended time. Also, the "storage drawer" beneath the oven is worthless because it is so shallow. Even the lids for our pans brush the top of the drawer when we attempt to close it. The pros far outweigh the cons with this wonderful range!
