📦 Design & Build
The front-control design makes it easy to adjust heat without leaning over boiling pots. The stainless steel finish gives it a high-end look, and the halogen-lit oven provides a clear view of your cooking. The storage drawer underneath is handy for keeping baking sheets and trays within reach.
⚙️ Performance
The True Convection system uses a fan and third heating element for faster preheating and consistent results — ideal for baked goods and roasted meats. The 18,000 BTU Turbo Boil burner is a standout for quick pasta nights or stir-fries. With 5 burners, you can boil, sauté, and simmer simultaneously without crowding the cooktop.
👌 Ease of Use
The controls are intuitive, offering incremental temperature adjustments and pre-programmed settings like Delay Start, Keep Warm, Broil, and Air Fry. The steam clean option is great for light messes, while the self-clean cycle tackles tougher grime.
💡 Energy Efficiency
Gas ranges are already efficient for instant heat control, and this model’s convection cooking helps reduce cook times — saving both time and gas.
💰 Value for Money
Priced in the mid-to-upper range for gas ovens with premium features, the Kenmore’s combination of Air Fry, True Convection, and Turbo Boil makes it a solid investment for home cooks who want one appliance to replace multiple gadgets.
✍️ Personal Experience
After a month of cooking on this range, I was impressed by the Turbo Boil burner’s speed — boiling a large pot of water in under 7 minutes. The convection roast setting gave me a perfectly browned, juicy roast chicken, and the Air Fry mode handled frozen fries with a crispy finish without oil splatters. The only downside? Fingerprints show up quickly on the stainless steel, so keep a microfiber cloth handy.
