The new stove

Our new kitchen stove was delivered on Friday. We decided to replace the older stove when the repair guy told us it wasn't worth repairing. That's also when we decided not to buy a replacement from that company. It took us a while to find the stove that had all the features we wanted. So many were close, and we had nearly decided to do without certain features.

The new stove finally properly installed.

Then, once we decided on this model, two stores had it available for the same price. I tried to buy it from one, but their internet site would not accept my credit card. I tried the second store, but by then the price had increased significantly. So we waited. We went back again to the idea that we'd do without certain features. Then, last week, I looked again at the second store and the price on our first choice had gone back down to where it was earlier. I ordered it, and there was no problem with my credit card (it's the store we've bought appliances from since we got here 11 years ago) and delivery and installation were free, along with them taking away the old stove.

The old model looks ok, but one of the burners didn't work and the electronics were screwed up.

They delivered the stove on Friday. The delivery guys were, well, delivery guys, and they were a bit arrogant and rough with the stove and kind of threw it together. But it worked. Ken and I had to re-level it on Saturday after replacing the gas hose, which needed to be a little longer (not their fault). All that is now done and the stove is in place and working well. We used it on Saturday, both the burners and the oven, and we like it. So far, so good!
