Review by A. Rush:

I managed to find this stove at a severe discount and jumped at the chance to own it. Plus we needed to replace an older stove in the house we just bought that didn’t match our other appliances. It was also a glass cooktop stove so we had something to directly compare it to.

In any event, it’s a joy to use, and the controls are quite simple. I really like the backlit electronic readout as it makes seeing what’s happening very simple — only the burner which is on is lit, or only the function which is working in the oven is lit. Quite handy, and the blue LED clock looks very classy. Also, the burner displays are great since the temperature/power is represented by a blue dotted line which goes in a circle — the more blue dots, the higher the setting. No more numbers or Lo/Med/High! The burners get hot very quickly, and the various sizes make it easy to match your pot or pan with the proper size to avoid wasting heat.

The oven door is great — very high quality. The lights inside are also amazing, extremely bright and the best lights I’ve ever seen inside a range anywhere. The “luxury glide” rack is also very nice and works very smoothly exactly as they advertise. One caveat…our luxury glide rack had some plastic on it (some sort of protective coating) that may have been left there by the guys who installed the range. When we used the oven the first couple of times, the plastic burned and started smoking, necessitating a cleaning. Check yours before you use it. Apart from that, the cooking has been efficient and even, and we really like the lack of an exposed heating element on the bottom, which will make cleaning up spills MUCH easier. We haven’t used the warming drawer yet, nor have we tried the convection aspect.

The only downside we’ve found is that the glass surface seems to scratch quite easily. We had one non-stick pan with a slightly textured bottom that we had used with the previous range (GE Spectra) without any problem. With the first use on the Electrolux, we had a couple small scratches in the glass which was disappointing. However, the instructions do tell you to only use flat-bottomed pots and pans. That being said, the GE Spectra wasn’t affected, and I would have thought the Electrolux would at least be as durable. In any event, we gave away that pan and haven’t had any problems with our other pots and pans (mostly All-Clad and Calphalon), and the Electrolux beats the GE Spectra in every other regard without question. Just a small word of warning. This is the reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 stars. I wish I could have given it 4.5, actually, because it really is a fairly minor consideration compared to the overall quality.

Bottomline is that we’re very pleased with our new addition. It looks great and works great, too. The only problem is that it looks so nice that it makes our cheap microwave look just that — cheap! We may have to upgrade the microwave to match the sleek lines of the range.

Review by Romeo Gonzalez:

This is a dream of a range. The most beautiful, most versatile. Double oven. A perfect broiler while you bake french bread in the lower oven. The Perfect Turkey cooking setting roast a perfect chicken. I am looking forward for thanksgiving turkey.

The look is luxurious and the features are very easy to master. In this my first week I have used it quite a bit. Boiling water for pasta is a flash. I paired it with a 400CFM Bosch range hood.

I had the opportunity to get a new townhouse that had no refrigerator – got the 26′ SS Electrolux fridge – kicked out the ugly white GE profile T-O-L range and microwave.

I am the happiest man. If you enjoy cooking this is the best. It matches premium gas cooking

Review by K. Cheng:

After owning this for about a year, this range has gotten stuck numerous times. It has a sensors on glass tops and will shutdown or go into confusing states if some water goes on top of the keypad … Even after drying the surface and following their suggested “reboot” of the system by unplugging the error still persists.

Good luck if you try to contact Electrolux customer service… Today I tried contacting them to have their phone system AND email system have technical difficulties… too much of a coincidence i guess…UPDATE: Finally after four tries I got through to a nice gentleman who said it was turned into Sabbath mode (?)

This range has a lot of great features and is beautiful which was why we bought it but the problems with the usability has been confusing. Simply put, select a range that cannot crash on you if you want a hassle-free experience… there are many others with similar features that are much more reliable.

Now I know how cooking with MS Windows feels like….

Review by Marshall K. Hoskins:

We owned this range for less than a year and a half when it made a “pop” noise and the oven quit working. A little research led to the fact that the control panel is a weak point in these ranges, and the repair cost is often upwared of 0. Even when it worked it took forever to preheat the oven and the top was difficult to control. Give the Frigidaire a quick Google and see the complaints.

Review by E. Miller:

I don’t own this range, but I do have a PLEFMX 99ECN from Frigidaire. It turns its own burners on all by itself. It has been recalled, but they didn’t bother to inform me by mail, despite the fact that their marketing department could find me to try to sell me an extended warranty for it. DO NOT TRUST THEM. They almost burned my house down, and though they are fixing it for free, it has taken a month. Poor customer service. Dangerous products.
