Just got this range at the end of Feb 11, and it took a couple weeks to get it installed in the house. The impact this range has had over our stock Whirlpool flat top electrical range I bought with the house almost two years ago, was significant. My wife was won over by the "Bread Proofing" function and a couple visits to local stores for comparisons to other models under consideration (GE, SAMSUNG, LG, BOSCH). Anyway, the ease of cooking with this range is much greater than we would have imagined in a couple short months. A few pros, two small cons, and a small warning are all I have to say about this excellent range.
Pros:
1) Easy to clean up. However if you let any food items get on the recessed cook top surface below the grill, your cleanup will be that much harder. Seems obvious, but I have a teenager in the house. The oven surface is also easy to keep up on.
2) Easy glide racks. I slowly worked on the wife for two years about easy glide racks being a major selling point. Every day use has made my case for this seemingly minor feature by significant labor saving feature.
3) Wave touch controls. My wife who does all the baking in the house loves these more than she ever would have realized until she sat down and read the instruction manual. Staged baking programming has made her a believer.
4) Gas cooking. I've never liked electrical coils, and using the range top has made cooking enjoyable if not fun.
5) Looks great with the understated control panel idle and when it is being used. All cooking information is visible and easy to comprehend.
6) Internal lighting with the shiny blue interior helps you see everything. The old Whirlpool had an internal light that made me feel I was looking down a mile deep shaft with a match trying to squint just a couple more photons of reception out of it.
7) No failures, no glitches, and no problems whatsoever to date. Build quality is high and I have yet to see a single operating issue and neither has my wife. I also didn't buy an extended warranty after looking up consumer complaints against the warrantor for the vendor I selected. I expect in one year and a day (after the manufacturers warranty expires) I'll see my first glitch.
8)Bread proofing function. This is what got my wife on board initially. She is a pretty good baker, but proofing the bread in our previous range was a lot of effort for her. This simple function has made it easier for her. Not one loaf has fallen since she started using it.
9) Precision control on burners. I am very impressed with how the burners are responsive and precise. Going from full flame to the lowest setting keeps food warm while you finish up other food items is simple. I have had no issues with our burners to date.
10) The oven comes with convection but my wife hasn't really used it a lot yet. The regular oven setting cooking results have been more even and come out cooked more thoroughly compared to our previous electric range.
Cons
1) Price, this nearly killed the deal. If I hadn't gotten shipping and installation with no sales taxes online, a local buy would have cost us well over $2600.
2) The recessed cook top scratches somewhat easily, so don't use metal based scrubbers.
Warning: If you leave a burner on simmer, it can be difficult to see in a well lit kitchen. It gets pretty low.
In short, this range has been one of the best deals I have ever gotten and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I would highly recommend it.

We got this unit as a pair with an Electrolux dishwasher, which I've also reviewed, and has been nothing but trouble. This is a beautiful range with a lot of nice features. It is all electronically controlled, has convection, the sliding racks are great, and it feels well built. But it has one of the silliest design flaws, which I cannot believe was not detected by the engineers. The racks above the burners, the small removable rings around the burners, and the topmost part of the burners are cast iron. They look great when they are new, but once you start cleaning the unit, they rust, discoloring them and leaving rust stains on the stainless steel which you cannot get out. Its very similar to a cast iron pan which has rusted. I cannot believe that something else could not have been used. I've used many gas stoves, cleaning all of them the same way, and never encountered such an issue. Its really odd. Additionally, the largest burner which is hollowed out and encloses a small pilot inside, doesn't light well. Essentially you have to run gas into it for a few seconds, filling the hollow portion with gas, before engaging the electronic igniter. The result is that when it lights, there is a large "poof" of flame which jumps out at you. My wife won't even use this burner. So, overall its a nice unit, but these silly flaws seriously detract from it. I wouldn't buy it again.

We have this stove for several months now. Purchased it based on Consumer Reports review and prior experience with Electrolux's OUTSTANDING commitment to customer service. We do NOT do a lot of cooking, so this stove is overkill for our needs....but it looks pretty.
LIKES:
Lot's of great features and great looks with the wave touch control panel that looks like it came out of a Star Trek episode. MANY cooking options with multiple timers, fast pre-heat, perfect Turkey (going to try for Thanksgiving), multiple stage and convection. More than I'll ever use for sure. Attractive front door design and solid quality cast iron grates.
Haven't used it more than a few dozen times but seems to cook well and evenly. Inside is well lit with theater lighting. Luxury Racks extend all the way out for easy access to food. 3 Shelves in the main oven can really cook a feast. Doors stay put in whatever position you leave it. I haven't used the bottom oven yet as I mostly use it for storing baking pans. Will likely load it up this coming holiday season. Broiler works well als.
DISLIKES:
The front-right "Precise Simmer" burner is difficult to light! Every review of this stove indicates the same thing. Remaining 4 burners light instantly. The special simmer burner clicks, clicks, clicks away while the gas fumes out of the burner. After another start, the gas ignites in a puff of flames that blow out under whatever pot you may have there. Happens all the time, every time and for most users who have reviewed this oven online. I've yet to figure out the magic way to light this burner on the first attempt.
Easily Scratches. The cast iron grates scratch the stainless steel stove top WAY too easily. The slightest slide of a grate scratches! You must carefully lift each grate to clean the top and carefully replace. No sliding into place or you'll be sorry.
Broiler smells. Whatever coating Electrolux put on the broiler stinks and stays for some time. You might think there is some plastic buried somewhere in the stove the first 5 times you use the broiler. I'm told by the service guy this is normal for Electrolux. He says its the coating they put on the broiler top to prevent rust.
Door glass hazy. Something happened in the first few weeks that caused a hazy film to appear between the inside and outside glass. I'll be contacting Electrolux shortly to see what can be done.
While we haven't used it to cook any major meals (Wife doesn't cook...lucky me) (just some pizzas and a few other things)I expect it will hold up quite well and serve us for years to come.
