I have a Bluestar RCS (I think this was replaced by the RNB, and I suspect that this is why I got a decent deal on the range).  I love the simplicity of its function, I strongly prefer the open burners, and I love the power; but in seven years I have had to replace like three of the igniters and something major busted in the oven (not the convection fan -- the oven stopped working actually).  Also,  the upper rack is really just too close to the broiler -- I always need to use the next rack level, which is honestly just a bit too far away for true surface-cooking.   I can deal with all of this, but it seems like more hassle than one should be dealing with at that price point.
