About - Maytag MGR7665W[B]
The Maytag MGR7665W[B] is part of the kitchen range test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas range models like the MGR7665W[B] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Cooktop high: This reflects how quickly the most powerful burner could raise a 6-liter (6 1/3-quart) pot of water from room temperature to a near boil. Cooktop low: This reflects the gentlest burner's ability to melt and hold chocolate without scorching it. We also set the most powerful burner to its lowest flame to test its ability to hold a large pot of tomato sauce below a boil. Baking: This reflects the evenness of cookies and cakes in multi-rack baking tests.

Features & Specs - Maytag MGR7665W[B]
High-power burners The number of surface cooking burners rated at over 11,000 Btu/hr., maximum. High-power burners are good for quickly heating large quantities, searing, and other high-temperature cooking. Some also perform well on low-heat tasks (when turned to their low setting). Mainstream ranges typically have one or two high-power burners. Pro-style ranges often have four. High-power burners	2
Medium-power burners The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings over 6,500 Btu/hr but not more than 11,000 Btu/hr. Though they don't offer top speed and power, medium-power burners can generally handle all cooking tasks. Medium-power burners	1
Low-power burners The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings of 6,500 Btu/hr or less (sometimes called simmer burners). These are intended for delicate tasks such as sauces. Low-power burners	1
Number of cooktop burners Total number of individual cooktop burners. Number of cooktop burners	4
Convection mode Has a convection feature that uses a fan or two to circulate heated air, and sometimes an extra heating element. The convection mode can be turned off if you prefer conventional cooking. Convection mode	No
Double oven Double oven models have a second oven cavity. Most have a separate small oven above the main one complete with its own controls, door, window, oven light, slide-out rack, and self-clean function. While the upper oven offers easy access, the main oven is relatively low; you'll need to crouch to remove items from lower shelf positions. Other designs convert a single oven into two using a slide-in partition (though with a shared door.) Double oven	No
Cooking drawer Drawer below the main oven that can cook foods (up to a few inches high), as well as warm or heat serving bowls and plates. The cooking drawer has its own temperature control so can be set to cook a dish independent of the main oven. Foods must be lifted up out of the drawer (lacks a slide-out rack), and the drawer requires manual cleaning. Cooking drawer	No
Slide-in Slides between cabinets; unfinished exterior on the sides of the range. The edge of the cooktop overlaps the counter on each side and all controls are on front panel for a built-in look. Slide-in	No
Stainless steel available Many new mainstream ranges come with stainless steel trim or offer a stainless-trim version for an additional $200 or so. Many pro-style ranges (brands such as Viking, DCS, and GE Monogram, among others) have full stainless-steel construction. Stainless steel available	Yes

Best Uses

Comment:

Grates slip and slide as they do not fit properly. On the photo of this product, look at where the grates meet in the middle, the two dots on either side are where the foot on the grate should fit. 2 inches off! The grates do not fit this closely in the center either. The grates slip nearly 2 while cooking. I have had spills and burns caused due to this problem as the liquids in pots and pans slushes as the grates move. Maytag has sent me two different styles of grates and they still do not fit properly. If you want to purchase this item, take mine! I would be happy if they allowed a return of this item.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
