Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Chels0120 9/26/2017

We purchased this with our new home in May and I love it. So much easier to clean than my old one. Puts out a ton of heat on high settings and drops low enough on low to slow simmer delicate dishes. Very pleased.

Best choice

SerenePaul 9/19/2017

We had a few options to select in our new house. With some research we chose this Frigidaire model. One of the distinguishing features was the more solid nature of the knobs so far proven to be true. This model is solid and does a good job. Theres a little uncertainty about whether the rack is too high off the gas. Some of the burners are intentionally supposed to be quicker than others but its not clear to me which ones. Its also a bit difficult to keep looking brand new grease stains and such. Final comment my wife wishes the model had the ability to lift and lock the racks rather than just take them off. But overall were happy with the quality and the performance.

Good looks and variety of burners

al410 5/17/2017

I bought this a month ago and installed it to replace an inconvenient one. The burner locations are very useful and have a great range of heat supplied. The center burner is much more centered rather than being further back like most and since it is usually the bigger one it is a further reach for heavy pots and pans and vision.

Works well the outside burners take a little too long to boil a pot of water in my opinion so we tend to do most of the cooking on the middle burner. Overall very happy with this range

Installation was a snap WORKS FLAWLESSLY

VZsasz 2/16/2017

I purchased this unit from Lowes during an appliance sale they were having Christmas 2016. After two weeks of no-shows by local installers I decided to do it myself and am I glad I did It was very simple to install following directions and using the proper pipe adhesive consult a professional if you are uncertain. The units fit and finish are better than I thought they would be. The unit looks better than several units I researched which were twice the price. I highly recommend this countertop gas range.
