Kenmore 96112

The Kenmore 96112 is a relatively basic smoothtop electric range that doesn't have as many features as more expensive ranges, but it performs well in professional tests. Owners say this range works well, and the self-cleaning function is effective. Owners also praise the cooktop for quick heating. And the oven cooks evenly, they say. But some owners claim that spills can get between the glass panels on the oven door, creating a difficult-to-clean mess. The Kenmore is a smoothtop range. Coil-top ranges can also save you some money, although consumers generally prefer the smoothtop ranges for style and ease of cleaning. The coils don't look as modern, but reviewers say the Kenmore 94212 (Discontinued) performs perfectly well.
