Kitchen Aid 30 In. Black Electric Range - KESS907SBL

KitchenAid electric range, Model KESS907SSS - our mistake
KITCHENAID RANGE COOLING FAN
1. This KitchenAid cooling fan starts blowing as soon as the oven is turned on, and runs until the oven is turned off, or the convection mode cool down completes.
2. This range cooling fan exhaust area is 8" above the floor and 27" long and reaches at least 5.5 feet out from the front of the range.
3. Anyone in the kitchen while this KitchenAid oven is in use, is subject to a "breeze" on lower legs and feet.
4. The KitchenAid fan exhaust breeze may not be as aggravating in cooler weather, but possibly will be a major issue in warmer weather.
5. Based on friends with competitor ranges, this KitchenAid cooling fan is louder, more annoying, and distracting than those models. We had to increase the volume of the TV in the kitchen to compensate for the fan noise.

After using the oven just once, we told the dealer that we wanted to exchange it for a different manufacturers' range. We would not recommend that this...

Happy with our KitchenAid KESS907SSS
We purchased our stove a few weeks ago and conclude the following:

Two of these reviews are on several sites and I suspect that someone has an ax to grind and is on a writing campaign.

If you try real hard you can feel air coming from the front vents, but it is barely noticeable. Most stoves have front vents and this is not uncommon.

I agree that the angle of the controls could be a little less vertical, but that would leave them more exposed to spills. You can opt for a free standing stove and reach over hot pots to get to the controls.
You would have to be a contortionist to turn the knob and turn on a burner with your hip.

The fan is not any louder than our very expensive Dacor was. Now that was a piece of junk.

We only cook food so nothing condensates so bad that it drips to the floor.

The top is no harder to clean than any other smooth top range. Razor blades are a fact of life with any smooth top and food...

fantastic stove
Looks great. Was concerned with the objections that people wrote online:
--fan: not that loud. Almost everything is louder in the kitchen.
--controls: they do bump on/off easily. solution, lock the controls (which is easy to do and probably the best option for every hip-level appliance when you have toddlers).
--functionality: fantastic so far.
