The KitchenAid KSGB900ESS is a beautiful appliance loaded with useful features and extras. But lackluster boil times and its price tag dull this range's appeal.

The knobs on the KSBG900ESS have a little texture, which makes them easier to grip.

The KSGB900ESS has a 6.5 cubic foot oven capacity, a huge bonus for the avid baker.
