I have the identically featured Coloric version of this range at Smitties house and cook an evening meal on it 3-4 times a week for about 7 or 8 years now. And unlike at my house where I have three MWs, three full size SCOs and three cook-tops with 10 surface elements I only have this one range at Smitties house so it gets a lot of use.
I would rate the cook-top as very good, Jason had this range first and even added a Robertshaw automatic control to the RF 8" element which is wonderful.
The oven bakes very well and pre-heats quickly and I feel is very well insulated, certainly better insulated than any electric range you will buy today, the door seal is great and the outside of the range and door stay very cool. [ Ours does not the window that Tom's has so that might make it a lot better ].
The broiler intensity is just average for and electric oven and it does not have a way to broil at anything less than full 550F temperature, just like almost every vintage Frigidaire and Westinghouse range ever built so it is not the greatest broiler ever but it still works very well.
I would highly recommend this range to anyone that wants a great cooking experience, you will never find anything today at any price that will do what one of these stoves can do. Today for lunch I took two heavy dinner plates and put left over carrots, and a wild rice dish and some roasted pork tenderloin on the plates covered with a sauce, set both plates in the oven set the oven for 140F and used full MW power for 5 minutes and out came an evenly warmed lunch that was as good as the first time the food was served, [ it really helps to warm the plates when reheating food this way everything is more evenly heated and appealing].
The Amana ref also for sale it is just ok in my experience, both of these appliances are from about 1979-84. |
