Top recurring themes and quotes

Controls: Touch and button controls are hard to read, overly sensitive, or easy to activate unintentionally. “The buttons cannot be read in less than bright light… It is too easy to turn off the oven when turning off the timer.”
Overall quality: Customers report early failures and poor durability for a premium-priced range. “Make a range that last for more than 1 month… I still have no oven.”
Noise: Cooling and oven fans are frequently described as excessively loud. “This is the loudest oven ever made… Sounds like the fan blades came off of an airplane motor.”
Customer Service: Long repair timelines and back‑ordered parts leave issues unresolved for months. “The parts… are back ordered for another 3 months. This is RIDICULOUS.”
Temperature: Users cite inaccurate temperatures and uneven or inconsistent baking. “Oven temperature control is not very good… ±25 degree swings.”
