Hotinhawaii,
Sears is unlike Lowe's and HD in that it does do repairs. They sell that no mater what happens warranty, and they have a separate repair shop and a parts center away from the main store, as well as the separate warehouse facility for pickup of large items.
I did buy a gas dryer from Sears after no one could successfully convert my Maytag. It was a not very expensive Kenmore, and Sears converted. I had a laundry area where it would have been expensive to install a 220/240 circuit for the dryer, but propane was easy, is why I was set on gas.
Electric stoves used to be a pain for cooking until the glass tops came in. My son was a pro chef for 15 years cooking on restaurant kitchen equipment, but he has no complaints about the new incarnation of electric.
The ovens are much better and more precise, and can be programmed to bake An amount of time and then shut off. The burners are two part so that you can cook under a small pan or large and have the heating diameter match the implement. The warming tray is a nice feature. Food is rarely burned. You have to work at it.
The worst part of electric, that it is was slow to heat up, also is history. The ceramic top burners heat plenty quickly. I don't need instant.
I guess I like the precision of the electric, using a number. I know exactly what it will do on a given setting. I don't miss the flame.
The new gas stoves do have electronic ignition. You only need to light them when the power goes out.
We have a gas grill on the deck if we really need flame.
