our Kenmore Elite "dual fuel" (gas top w/ electric plate warmer, and electric convection oven, and an actual warming drawer that we never use for that purpose) that I bought refurbished at the old Sears Outlet store is still going strong'ish almost 15 years later. Only a few issues:
1. Glass top... don't drop anything or it chips; don't stand on it to reach something above.
2. oven spaceis quite small due to excess insulation. am assuming they've corrected this. makes it hard to coordinate big cooking experiences over holidays or parties
3. cool-down fan after using oven seems to take *forever* to cool down oven sufficiently before auto turnoff. Maybe I should pull the oven out and see if it's bunged up with ~15years of dirt and dust elephants.
I would definitely want another natural gas stovetop in the future. Just awesome to cook on, but it helps also to have decent cookware.
