Customers value the air fry feature and ease of use of the 5.3 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Electric Convection Range with Air Fry. However, some customers found the cooktop challenging to clean and heat up, and the bottom drawer to be less sturdy than expected. The oven's heating time was also noted as slower than previous models. Overall, the positive feedback on the air fryer and ease of use seems to outweigh the concerns about the cooktop and drawer.

Very pleased .Oven features are great and stovetop is spacious and offers multiple heating options. Clean up is easy. Chose this brand vs other brands because of oven knob placement for safety and because I didn’t need or want to use Bluetooth or wi fi . Convection, Air fry and timed bake are what I use the most and this oven does it all.

It’s a great oven, works in all the ways an oven should. The self clean is easy to use , although the racks are a little hard to put back in. I like the color a lot as well.

Very happy with the oven. You will need to run the clean cycle and follow a guide on how to clean it correctly if you don’t it will smell kind of chemically. We love having the larger burner. We thought we would miss having the extra burners in the back instead of the melt etc. but overall we are very happy with the purchase it looks great and whirlpool is super reliable. Do your research come back and thank me later!

Easy to operate- clear instructions. The burners work very well for all my pots. The oven was advised with three racks but only two came at the time of installation.

The cooktop instantly gets hot and cools down quickly when you turn it off. Air Fry is awesome!

Zero stars (put one assuming some rating required) 40 mins to cook pasta - water just won’t boil 19 mins to barely start boiling (burner continuously on/off/on/off/on/off/on/off - annoying) Went through factory to get service tech & turns out it’s normal, just a combination of energy efficiency improvement regulations mandated on manufacturers by the federal government (think green and slow) and safety features (because apparently some people like to leave their burners on forever). We went back to our 1983 GE coil type burner range - heavy rolling boil in 6 mins pasta ready in 8. Disclaimer: I did NOT want to leave a review in this product but Best Buy would not let it be and just kept pestering me with the “we want your opinion” messages so here we are.

Poor Quality

Poor quality, not worth the price, misaligned bottom drawer, silicone on the edge of the stove, damage to both back corners of the stove. This stove is of poor quality. Now I have to waste my time returning this stove.

Needs to come with a manual and recipe how tos when convection is offered. Being older and long-cook raised, need to know how to use convection along with what not use it for. Are the temperatures the same but faster? What about air-frying? I love it came with air fryer pan. Questions I'll have to ask manufacturer but they could incentives for 'only at Best Buy' as appliance purchases would benefit both. Perhaps BestBuy merchandisers will read this? Nah, anyway nice stove recommended by appliance mechanic for my sister and her husband Hanukkah. The old one needed a part that was 300.00 alone and the knob covering panel was getting too cloudy from cleaning for 10 yrs - havent a clue how long previous owner had old stove. Simplicity is a plus for old school-ers like us plus more expensive models had way too many pressure-type buttons to crack! My frig ice and water buttons are collapsing cant imagine those on a stove front edge like another of same brand has. The heat from glimpsing inside then dog paws as they sneak stand on edge after cooling, looking for crumbs to snatch, lol.

I love my new stove! It looks nice and has great features. I’ve used the convection feature to make cookies which came out excellent. The air fry feature works amazing as well. There has been a learning curve compared with my previous electric stove. It seems to come up to temp on the cooktop a little slower than my last but it cooks much more evenly. I was surprised that companies no longer include a broiler pan or a cooktop scraper with your purchase. The air fry basket is included though not the pan you need to place under it. I waited a month to write a review si I could use all the features and get adjusted and overall I’m very pleased with this stove and recommend it. My buying experience through Best Buy was great and I will definitely use them the next time I have a major purchase.

We love how this electric stove cooks more evenly than gas. Everything works great--air fryer, convection, oven, stovetop, etc. I would give a 5 except for challenges with the stovetop cleaning. Still searching for solutions.

We finally replaced our original ~20 year old Whirlpool range with this new model and are not overly impressed. The glass top is much harder to clean/maintain and the oven is much slower to heat up. Also, it would be nice if the “hot surface cooktop” indicator specified which burner(s) were still hot. Older models made it easier to decipher. Also, the drawer is much flimsier than the older models. Just makes me feel like the quality has gotten worse over the years and I wish I could just re-buy my old model from 20 years ago.

Love how the air fryer feature lets me make crispy snacks without all the oil. Made some fries last night that came out perfect! The convection cooking makes everything so even - no more burned edges and raw middles.
The price was a total steal compared to other ranges with these features. Definitely got my money's worth!
Big shoutout to the BestBuy crew who installed it. Those guys knew exactly what they were doing and saved me from YouTubing "how to install a stove" videos all day. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.
If you're looking to upgrade your kitchen without breaking the bank, grab this Whirlpool. You won't regret it!

Glass is separated in the one corner, waiting 3+ months for a replacement. The smell when first turned on was toxic.
