After a measly 32 years, my range has cratered.

Any rec's for a new one? $500-$700 price range?

Any ones to stay away from?

Thanks a heap,

Stay away from electric.

Why? My wife was a Home Ec. major in college and has taught Home Ec. She
has used both gas and electric ranges over the years and seems perfectly
content with her new ceramic-top electric range. We could have had gas
run to the kitchen for a gas range (the furnace is gas), but she decided
that electric was fine.

I'm particularly happy with dual fuel, i.e. gas burners and electric
ovens. I'm not sure if there are any available in that price range
however. In that price range I've used GE electrics and they've been
fine.
