I've used this 5yrs. This stove was provided to me in my apartment after the owner did a remodel. The stove works as I'd expect with one glaring fault. The clock/timer does not keep accurate time. Once I figured out how to set it (itself no small task) it basically loses an hour per day, so after a week or so 12:00 my time is 07:00ish stove time. I do not know if it's set to 12 or 24hr clock. Because of this I've never bothered with the timer settings and instead use the timer on my microwave. If the power goes out, I just push the two buttons in which resets it and the oven then works... but how they made a DIGITAL clock that can't keep time is beyond me. The oven preheats well but does not indicate when ready (not related to clock issues as it didn't do it when I'd waste time setting it). The burners cycle on/off (apparently due to the glass top) leading to long boiling times which is annoying. The "hot" light is for all burners... why not a light for each. The display is also a bright RED LED, which has on more than one occasion, led me (in the dark) to think something was burning. Any other color would be better. Overall... it works but I'd never buy one myself.
