The Tappan range that is currently being used here has one drawback-the size of the oven. Though it is a fine cooker with an oven door that is very heavy with all the insulation.
It figures that only a couple of years later, GE comes out with their new XL44 self cleaning gas ranges. Those seemed to be extremely large ovens back in 1990..which was very nice. They probably still make the best mainstream ranges today.
I have to say though, i really want one of the new Bosch DF ranges. The design of the back guards on their ranges, definitly looks like it should house a full length flourescent light. :-(
