I've come to hate my 10-12 year old smooth top range. It's very slow! Ideally, I'd replace it with a gas range, but will have to settle for another electric. I hate the looks and cleanup of a coil range.

I found a smooth top Maytag MER8775A online for under $1000. It claims to have a 3200 watt speed element as well as a low-temperature self clean cycle using water.

Does anyone have experience with this range or with the AquaLift cleaning feature?

Any other recommendations? Could I find a good induction range for around the same price?
