It seemed to last for days
We have a stove. All four burners work without needing to be lit by hand. The oven works. The broiler works. None of it has been inhabited by small animals or encrusted in years of ignored grease. It was delivered this afternoon by subcontractors from Sears; when they left, they took the old one away. For the first time since we moved here in October, I will be able to bake without using the toaster oven.
(I will probably still make lasagna in the toaster oven, because I want to see if I can. But after that, I don't know, I could make cookies or a pie or something. Or broil a chicken. Or bake noodles and cheese. This is going to be awesome.)

Just making tea without needing to light the burners has been ridiculously luxurious.

We did, but a microwave is not an adequate substitute for a stovetop. (You can make a mug of hot water in a microwave. You cannot make a pot of tea. Noodles and cheese in a microwave are right out.)
