I agree. It's the reason I've put off redecorating and buying new appliances. Our builder chose the cheapest Whirlpool appliances he could find. I've had repairs on all three! I have no respect for that brand any more.

Did you find your oven door handle and vent permanently scorched and brown after using the self-clean option too?

I'm waiting for my great LG fridge to stop working, then I'll get a new set.

My kitchen range has the same black chipped spots. You are right, replacement costs are so high I'd be better off buying a new stove but I hate to discard a working appliance!

Thanks for the idea. I found this, is it similar to yours?

Does it boil water really fast?
Another thing that annoys me about my gas range is the grates are so far from the flame -- a lot of wasted heat and it takes forever to heat up stuff.

That is exactly the one that I have. It was selling for $39.95 on the day that my friend's husband brought it to my attention and bought it on my behalf. I'm pleased to have it as my flat does not have a stove or cook top.

This is news to me......I went to website of highlander...this is an electric one burner unit? So you can only do one
Pot at a time...I really don't see the practicality of it, but I must be missing the point......

I looked into the Nuwave, too...and was appalled by the shipping fees..so I went on Ebay and bought an Aroma brand induction cooktop...I love it! I bought it mainly because I freeze and can a lot..so I thought this would save me time, and it does..Can't rave enough about it!

I bought them but have never tried them--it seems to be a bad thing I do.

Why does it seem to be a bad thing to do?

In this picture it looks like it has a weird plug-in?

Maybe you want to sell them to me for a great price??

You're right! I don't think you use that plug in the USA. I would think they sell them all over, so would have to have lots of different plugs and wattages on them. I saw one being used in a cookware demo, but she wasn't selling the cook-top so didn't talk much about it.
