Whirlpool : GFG471LVQ 30in Freestanding Gas Range with 5 Sealed Burners White Review

Well, I researched kitchen ranges for an entire week. I even joined Consumer Reports and left no stone unturned in my ques to find a quality range. After doing a well thought out search it looked like Whirlpool Gold was the way to go for a new range and for my budget. NOT! I just had this model GFE471LV installed today and it is so cheaply made that I am very disappointed. I guess $1,000 doesn't go far for a new range today. Unbelievable that now consumers have to spend over $2k for a quality-solid dependable range!!

First, the oven door is so thin that when they were installing it--it kept flopping open. My other range's door was thick and very heavy--quality all the way. Second, the bottom oven drawer which I use for my pasta pot,etc. is too small and made out of the cheapest metal that it feels like a child's toy! The rollers are plastic and opening the drawer is extremely difficult. Again cheap, cheap, cheap. My heavy stainless steal pasta pot will more than likely bend it. I miss my old stove and now wish I had paid to just have it fixed. I had no idea what a rip off kitchen appliances are today.

I will have to go back to the stores and look again and return this dud. I do not see this Whirlpool range going the distance at all. What has happened to kitchen appliances out there? Are there no quality ranges for $1,000? Much of my research revealed that there is a huge problem with quality in free standing ranges now. It looks like consumers have to pay over $2k for a reliable range and paying that high price may not guarantee that it will go the distance. Longevity seems to be obsolete now.

I wanted a Bosch range but discovered that they are not the German company they once were because their ranges are made by Frigidare! How did the worst appliance company come to build one of the best appliance companies ranges?

I hope that consumers will use Amazon to report reviews on their kitchen appliances. I do believe that only consumers can become the real voice of what is or is not a quality appliance out in the market today. Consumer reports just did not give me reliable information at all on this purchase. I have since found that others feel the same way.
