Frigidaire FCRC3012BW 30-Inch Electric Coil Range
The verdict
Four coil burners sit on top — two 6-inch and two 8-inch, from 1,500 to 2,400 watts — each run by its own rotary knob on the front of the range, so you never reach over a hot burner to change a setting. The coils themselves are physical rings you can feel when cool, which fixes the burner layout in your hands in a way a flat glass top never can.
Frigidaire FCRC3012BW 30-Inch Electric Coil Range — about $598.97 at P.C. Richard · 4.8★ · Blind pick (no sight needed) — a full-size coil-top range with front knobs and a simple oven pad, the knob-controlled cooker the appliances shelf has been missing.
The 5.3 cu ft oven is run from a simple button pad: press Bake and it defaults to 350°F, then tap the up or down arrow to move the temperature in 5-degree steps, with Start and Off buttons beside them. It has two oven racks with six positions and a steam-clean cycle, and it needs a 240V outlet and a power cord bought separately.

Blind details
For a blind cook, the working method is counting, not reading: Bake always starts at 350°F, so 400°F is ten presses of the up arrow and 325°F is five presses of the down arrow, from a known starting point every time. Put a bump dot on Bake, one on Start, one on the up arrow and one on the down arrow, and a dot on each burner knob at its Off position, and the whole range runs by touch. What we checked is the control mechanism in the maker's manual and live owner reviews — front knobs, coil layout, the 350°F default — not a blind hands-on test, so confirm the arrow count on your own oven before trusting it for a roast. One safety note from the manual: the controls click as the oven cycles, which is normal relay sound, not a fault.

Honest caveats: The oven pad is buttons, not a dial, so the oven side needs the bump dots and the counting method — it is not as purely tactile as the cooktop. The burner knobs sit on the front, which is exactly what makes them reachable, and also means a leaning body can brush one; owners note the knobs are stiff enough that an accidental bump does not turn a burner on, but keep the habit of checking the knobs are at Off before you walk away. At about $599 this is the cheapest way into a full-size range, and it shows in the single oven light and basic racks — but for a blind cook, simple and knob-run beats fancy and unreadable.
