LG LSG4513BD 6.3 cu.ft. Gas Slide-in Range with ProBake Convection™, EasyClean®, STS Ctop, Black Stainless Steel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace an aging GE model. The fit & finish, as well as the quality of the components, are first-rate.

I've had 3 stoves in the past 8 months. This is my 3rd. The 1st one was dented, scratched, and the back, where the controls were, was crooked by a half inch. After months of being told to tolerate it, I persisted, and the company refunded the stove. The 2nd, while having a couple of really nice features, continued to get hotter and hotter, bubbling the surface of the stove, melting things in the cupboard next to it, and the control board getting too hot to touch. I was to tolerate that, too. After 8 repair visits to our home without resolution,I didnt. I was afraid it would just blow up! With 5 burners, I could only use 2 pots or pans at a time. The burners were so close which didnt help with the heat disbursement. The company (a different one) refunded that stove, too. Then, I walked into an appliance store with my big bag of pots, pans, and cookie sheets. I wanted to be sure everything could fit in the oven and on the stove. That's when I found the LG! I'm in love with this stove. If a stove could be athletic, this one is! It outperforms any I've ever had! The stainless drip area under the gas burners shows no buildup or stains, cleans so easily, it always looks new! The oven, beautiful royal blue, works like a charm and cleans with ease. It cooks evenly and the racks are strong allowing you to feel secure when moving them as they're holding whatever you're roasting or baking. Back on the cooking field, the grates are sturdy and have little soft protectors on the bottom to keep a little cushion between them and the stovetop and also the counter when they are removed for cleaning. Best of all the drip pan is a level playing field, no dips, hills, ruts.... so easy to clean right up to the burners! I'm so pleased with finish of every part of this range. The dials have a definite, firm touch when initiating offs and ons. The distance, which makes a difference, between your pot/pan and the flame is perfection! Nothing burns or overcooks and cookware doesn't get scratched on the bottom. The control board sings to me when the oven reaches its temperature, when the timer goes off ... sweet little tunes that make you want to dance in the kitchen! I cook at least 2 meals a day. This gas range is perfection! So many little details have been considered in the design of this range. A true winning purchase to last long into the future! Thank you, LG! You've let me enjoy cooking once again!
