Man, this Butker story is really blowing up. The Missouri AG is investigating Kansas City (as in the local government) for doxing Butker's mom

The K.C. Twitter account has deleted the doxxing tweet, claiming it was "shared in error."  I guess they're feeling the heat.

At one time Kenmore appliances were considered to be the absolute gold standard.

Kenmore was a marketing name by Sears, with the appliances being made by a number of manufacturers.

My Kenmore microwave, which I bought in 1989, was made by Sharpe. The thing is still going strong.

Even if Kenmore stoves were still around, I wouldn't have bought one - even before Sears folded, Kenmore large appliances were featured in Design News magazine's "Made By Monkeys" column numerous times.

It wasn't always that way - a long time ago our freestanding kitchen gas stove was a Kenmore. Upper and lower ovens, a filter vent fan on top, and 4 burners on a pull-out tray. (You'd pull the tray out to access the rear 2 burners.) One of the best stoves made. How long ago was this? Well, it was in the "hot" color for the time, avocado green.  :rofl:

Whoops, missed the fact that you went with a Whirlpool.

You want a NEW gas stove?

EARTH RAPIST!

Self-cleaning ovens get a lot hotter than 600 deg. Normally they run upwards 800 to 900 degrees.

And yeah, the insulation tends to be a lot better on self-cleaning stoves.

I have an earlier electric GE (2016 model) that is comparable to the one you're looking at. Mine is solid surface (glass top).

I like it quite a bit.

It also has the steam clean (for light duty cleaning in between full cleaning cycles) but I've never used that, and I think I've only used the regular cleaning cycle once, as I really don't use my oven all that often.

Hint... Don't leave your oven racks in the oven when you do the cleaning cycle. It won't harm them, but it does something to the chrome finish and makes them... coarse. They're no longer slick.

Back when I was a reporter we had a local farmer killed by his bull.

IIRC he was pretty badly injured and died in hospital.

Coroner (I knew, and was friendly with him) said it was a simple case of the farmer getting careless around what can be a VERY dangerous animal.
