Oven Stove Preference

[Adam Bosley]

Hi BP Family, I need to replace the stove/oven in my rental property. Are their any preferences for stove tops with heated coils vs glass stove tops. I remember my roommate shattered the glass top on our stove in college and I would prefer to avoid repairs like that. The heated coil stove tops seem to be a little more durable for tenants but I wanted to see what the BP family thought before I bought anything. Best, Adam

I'd highly suggest against glass top. Besides breakage, properly cleaning them is very difficult. The nice thing about the coils is they're easy to replace in order to spruce up the unit.

I always try to match the other appliances and if possible get the same brand. I want tenants to feel like I actually care and didn't get the cheapest possible option. Additionally, go one-level help (at least) from the basic version. As for the oven, I'd suggest a self cleaning one.
