Not a bad stove at all for the budget conscious. My last stove lit midway between medium and high heat and forgetful folks would burn food way too often because one's natural tendency is to turn a knob to the right to turn an appliance such as a stove, on, then go ABOVE that point to stop the starter ticking sound. Doing this however meant leaving it on HIGH. You had to remember to rotate to the left after each lighting. With this Premier the LITE position on the knob is the extreme most right so you have a tug to remind you to come back left to turn the flame to lower levels. You also don't have to be bothered with hearing the tick tick tick tick tick of the starter every time you want to up the flame as HIGH is not past LITE but before it.

I like it.

No bells No whistles just let's people feed themselves. Now if only those nice nonstick porcelain burner liners came in white!

Produces more heat than others in its price range. Available for $331 and up. Oven racks are lovely heavier weight steel which glide smoothly.

Careful of the double hinge double spring tensions doors. It will snap shut and hurt fingers so beware. Some complain about cleaning porcelain ranges of this type well do I have help for you. Use FORMULA 420. Non toxic. No sickening perfume. Gentle on hands and WORKS. Shake well. Squeeze on the pretty sea blue gritty liquid and leave to set while you do your nails or place dishes in dishwasher and with a cloth, non scratch tuffy kind of pad or even BRILLO (if burnt on is that bad) everything comes off easily. I bought Formula 420 for Pyrex and just had it sitting here. It didn't do diddly for burnt up Pyrex but does wonders on a stove top and you can't hide a thing with a white range.

Nice graphics by each knob tell you which are FRONT BACK and believe you me that matters since manufacturers are not standardizing on placement, you can get quite the arm burn if you came from a stove where the leftmost knob is for the front. You arm is OVER the front burner as you reach to put a pot on the back as you turn the second left most knob and WHOOSH, it is *that* knob that is for the FRONT and you've lit a big fire under your arm! So PAY ATTENTION TO THAT GRAPHIC until you have placement memorized (to care for elderly or children REMOVE THE KNOBS that operate the front burners altogether).

I'll add photos of this range front graphic soon. Don't know why sellers have no close ups.

This Stove doesn't even deserve a rating. I bought the 5 burner only because we needed a 36 inch and had to replace the one we had (a Maytage we had for 20 years). Premier was the only company that had 36 inch stoves, plus it was made in the USA (whatever happened to American craftsmanship).....from day one, we could see that it was a chinzy item. Cheaply made, the burners take a bit of encouragement to get started, The oven temp is never right. We are stuck with it as I keep looking for another. Right now, I am considering a smaller stove that is better made.
