Have been looking at electric stoves, particularly Sears Kenmore brand and Frigidaire. Just basic 30 inch wide ones with oven controls and element controls on the top. We like the built in lite on the top which sheds lite on the elements etc . Samsung is also supposed to be good but has no lite on top.

Our micro wave does not sit above the stove but is on the other side of the kitchen.
Is a convection oven feature necessary on an electric oven? We want the glass top covering the elements, the flat bottom of the inside of the oven too. Not a fancy oven
but around $500-900. Any features we should/should not have? Any particular brands you like or avoid?
