Can you please share your experience with budget priced (cheap!)gas ranges? Looking for a basic 30" that cooks fairly evenly and is reliable. Not looking for fancy electronics that are likely to fail, but self cleaning would be nice. Reading through the posts, many report that KitchenAids invariably fry when the self cleaning function runs. Some reported the same problem with Whirlpool and Maytag. Any good news with GE or Kenmore? It's really disheartening to read about the poor quality and costly service that is commonplace in the appliance world. Why can't these companies make a range that simply funnels gas through pipes and ignite it? Thanks for your help.
