📦 Design & Build
Right out of the box, the Kenmore 22-76843 looks sleek and modern with its brushed stainless steel finish and low-profile front controls. The large oven window makes it easy to check on your food without opening the door, and the heavy-duty cast iron grates feel sturdy — plus, they’re dishwasher safe, which is a lifesaver after greasy cooking sessions.
⚙️ Performance
This gas range doesn’t mess around. The Turbo Boil Plus burner hits 19,000 BTUs, which means pasta water is boiling in record time and stir-fries get that perfect sear. On the flip side, the 900 BTU simmer burner keeps sauces and chocolate melted without scorching.
The convection fan system really shines for baking — cookies on the top rack come out as evenly browned as those on the bottom. And the Air Fry mode delivers crispy fries and wings without heating up a separate appliance.
👌 Ease of Use
After a couple of weeks of use, the controls feel intuitive. The Precise Set Controls let you fine-tune heat and cooking functions without guesswork. The self-cleaning function is a game changer — just pick a 2, 3, or 4-hour cycle and let it handle the mess.
One small note: because the controls are on the front, you’ll need to be mindful not to lean or bump them when cooking.
💡 Energy Efficiency
Gas cooking is already efficient, but the convection fan also reduces cook times, which can save on energy in the long run. The sealed burners are also easier to clean, helping maintain performance over time.
💰 Value for Money
At its price point, this isn’t a bargain-basement range — but you’re getting premium features like convection, Air Fry, Turbo Boil, and self-cleaning in one package. Considering the build quality and cooking versatility, it’s a solid investment for someone who cooks daily.
✍️ Personal Experience
After using the Kenmore 22-76843 for three weeks, I’ve stopped using my countertop air fryer entirely. The oven heats quickly, and roasting a chicken with convection produced a crisp skin and juicy inside. The Turbo Boil burner has saved me so much time — no more waiting forever for water to boil.
