It comes with five burners and a griddle.

You'll need to place the griddle over either the left or the right burners for a more evenly-distributed heat, though.

The burner knobs are easy to control.

The display looks fine, if not a little utilitarian.

The traditional mode biscuits on the top row look even more uniform than the convection mode biscuits on the bottom row.

This range offers an exceptional value, if you can get past its bland design.
