Frigidaire 3/4 HP Batch Feed Food Waste Disposer with direct wire FPDI758DMS

Had this stove for almost a year. Love it. Family members are purchasing the same one because they love it so much too. I would buy again and apparently the other people that have reviewed this have never used a stove before. The smooth button surface is amazing to clean.

Buyer Beware. The touchpad control panel for the stove elements and various oven selects does not last. Although the model I have is Black rather than stainless steel, it is still the Professional series of smoothtop electric range. The range as well as the microwave and refrigerator were new with the house that we had purchased. Within a year the touchpad button for reducing the heat level of the front right stove element would not work without turning on another element. Fortunately, it was still under warranty at that time. However within a year later, it stopped working again, as well as the front left element several oven selections (broiler, convection) which we used only one or two times since we lived in the house. As we typically use it 5-6 times a week, that should not be considered an excessive amount of use. When we called Frigidaire, they would not stand by their product and simply said that it is no longer under warranty, and we would have to pay for the repair, even though the same thing broke in less then a year that was fixed under warranty. Would not buy another Frigidaire product as they do not stand behind their product. Also when the service guy came, he said it was not working due to loose connections. That in itself should have been a flag that this product was not a very good quality product, or at the least, was not made very well at the plant. The only reason why I give it two stars, is that it does cook well when it is working.

Hold that thought for a moment...Mr Stefan was too kind with his 2-star rating, considering his year long experience! It gets one star from me only because I couldn't give it the -5- star rating it deserves. The earlier review only tells half the story. So here's the other half:1. Inside of the first week, the glass top was chipped in two places. It's been a year so you should see it now! Plus all the scratches, stains and burn marks. I probably should have prefaced my review by stating that I'm a charter member of the "I-HATE-TO-COOK-CLUB" and I make an earnest effort to avoid the kitchen as much as possible so I don't ever put my hard-earned lifetime membership at risk. That said, this appliance only receives light use at most.2. Apparently, I wasn't as dazzled as my husband apparently was by all the fancy buttons, bells and whistles, all neatly hidden behind an inaccessible panel, any of which could fail when you need them the most. Sure enough, a month later, the "0" on the number pad stopped working. Not too bad...setting the cook time at 399 degrees when the temp needed to be 400 was but another annoyance to be added to the growing list. But a couple of months later, the 9 stopped working. Then the 8. Try baking a pizza at either 377 or 411 and see what you get!3. As for the list of other annoyances, here are a few that began on day one. The settings interface is counter intuitive. The oven is confusing to set. I shouldn't have to guess whether I set the time first, then Bake, then hit a start button too. Or first hit bake, then time, then start..it's an oven, for goodness sakes. Turning it on shouldn't be a game of chance. Same with the burners-- hit 3-4 buttons just to turn it on? I shouldn't have to slog through a support website to access the user manual just to figure out how to set the clock. The cooktop is hard to keep clean because of a recessed inside groove, (presumably a "feature" to catch boil overs of liquid) lined with some kind of rubbery surface that takes a jack-hammer to clean out. Honestly guys...it's a SMOOTH cooktop for a reason. The oven never reached the setting when the READY sound beeped. To test, I put the food in immediately, then could reset the temp 25 degrees lower and the indicator showed the temp below the reduced setting and didn't beep ready for another 3 minutes. The small rear burner never got hot enough to boil water. Within 6 months, 2 others weren't much better. There's more, but I'm exhausted just listing it all!But, I saved the best til last. Chefs, man your fire extinguishers. Kitchen helpers grab your phones in case you have to call 911! We are about to self-clean this puppy. Lock, set and walk away. Easy enough. At the end of the cycle I expected to find a nice, neat little pile of ashes on the oven floor to wipe up with a damp cloth as I had done with all my prior ovens. But what did I find? A crusty layer of black soot splattered on the walls and CEMENTED to the floor. Took me over an hour to remove most of it. A couple hours later, when I set the oven to preheat ( 377 degrees, of course) I left the kitchen to take out the trash and returned to the chorus of ALL my smoke detectors and an oven streaming smoke. When I opened the oven, noxious fumes drove me outside for a gulp of air! The house was filled with smoke. Ok. First time use, but it happened 2 more times! My husband threatened to go out and buy ANOTHER range by himself if I didn't pick one out TODAY.Frigidaire, a legacy American company with a proud history, should be ashamed of itself. As a corporate tradition, it is now a public embarrassment to this nation! Do not patronize any company that has no respect for itself or its customers. They do not deserve your hard-earned dollars. Run away as fast as you can!
