It is the first time I have had a gas hob, and I wouldn't go back to electric now. We bought one with a flame failure device, that turns the gas off if the flame gets accidentally extinguished (we live on a hill, and get lots of breezes in the kitchen/family room). This is a good safety feature, but it does mean it can take about 10 seconds to light the flame in order for the sensor to heat up. I have never had a gas oven so I can't comment on them, but electric is good. Kathy.
