Most Reliable Gas Oven/Ranges?

My Mom's Kenmore gas range/oven is a little over three years old and has been nothing but trouble. The electronic igniters on the range-top long ago gave up the ghost and now the lower oven igniter appears to have burned out. Anybody here well-studied on American-market stoves and willing to post your opinions/experiences with your own stoves? What's the most-reliable brand out there right now?



Her last oven/stove combo lasted 30 years. The new one was falling apart within 18 months of purchase. It's piece of crap.



Looking forward to your comments.

    actually, I was going to say Kenmore! Have many of their stuff and it all seems to last long. Maybe she go a lemon.



    if you can find one made by Whirlpool that may be the way to go since whirlpool products are always rated highly.

    We decided to go the repair route and I've ordered all the requisite parts...



    a new igniter for the left front stovetop burner



    a new igniter for the RIGHT front stovetop burner



    four new grates for the stovetop (the enamel has badly chipped off the first four)



    a new igniter for the lower gas manifold in the oven





    Sorry guys, not impressed with an oven that can't make it five years.



    Viking's a deal compared to the way this thing is headed~
