Frigidaire gas range -- opinions needed

Hi all,

I am considering to buy a PLGFMZ96EC Frigidaire gas range. Has anybody
had any experience with this (or similar) model?

Also, while exploring the subject of convection, I figured one should
search for "true" convection (with the heated element). I was not able
to figure out if this specific (or any other Frigidaire) model has this
heated element, so if someone could help me in this regard it would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I've had a Lowe's-specification GLGF388D for almost two years now.
It lacks the fifth burner and second oven of the one you mentioned,
and it's white. The grates are a little different, too, but no big
deal. I'm quite happy with mine. The 16,000-BTU burner is
significantly more powerful than most burners in this price range.
The rest of the range is pretty low on the annoyance quotient, too.

In looking at the wiring diagram for this model, which can be
downloaded from the Frigidaire Web site, there is both a convection
fan and an "assist" element.

Any reason you don't want a better brand? Frigidaire is in the bottom half
of quality.

Actually, according to consumerreports.org, Frigidaire is one of the
most reliable brands as far as gas ranges are concerned. The only ones
who are slightly better are Hotpoint and GE... Kenmore, Whirlpool,
Maytag, Amanta, KitchenAid, and Viking all have much higher problem
rate than Frigidaire. Again, according to consumerreports.org, for gas
ranges.
