Thanks for sharing!
Any additional information you may like to share or any links or research you did before buying?
Pros and cons you have seen, over the weeks/years?
Good or cheap basic model, $700 plus?
I'm sorry, I don't. My wife did all of the research and stuff for it because I was focused on health issues (also, she's a librarian, so research is her thing). All I said was try to get one that didn't involve some stupid app or whatever.
I'm not even 100% sure what model it is because I just looked and I can't see if it says anywhere. It's a GE and they have a whole ton of models on their website, so I couldn't tell you, but I'm guessing she paid significantly less than $1000 for it.
She's still asleep, but if I remember to ask her when she wakes up, I will.
Thanks for taking the time to explain what you can!
Sorry to hear about the health issues, I hope you are doing better!
edit: format
Anyone with more/better info or experience please feel free to chime in!

Yeah we have a propane stove, I think it's cleaner than natural gas, but we're rural and we lose power more often than urban zones.
My searching shows me a lot of astroturfing on both sides of that debate, which makes me think it's either far more complicated than that or we don't actually know.
Oh undoubtedly there is a lot of biases to sift through.
The study in this post says it's not.
Yeah :(. No winning yet.
Your power network is really letting you down with how uncommon the damn things are. Glass cooktops in Europe are like 200€ for a decent 60cm one nowadays.
Apparently it's a big PITA to get the model number because it involves opening the range up, so I told her not to bother, but she says the oven is both standard and convection if that helps.
Thanks for your effort!
That is appreciated!
