5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect For My Gas Stove With Loose Knobs
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2016
I think most people order these knob covers for safety issues with children and large dogs. There are no children in the home and no large dogs, however, loose stove knobs kept accidentally getting turned when we'd walk past our gas stove. Several times we'd go into the kitchen and smell gas and discover one of the burner knobs was turned enough to cause a gas leak but not enough to ignite a flame. Taking the knobs off and putting them on each time we cooked was not a good solution because the knobs are hard to take off. The Kidco knob covers came in 2 days on Amazon Prime and luckily they fit and work great so far. It did require removing the knobs to install, as these covers do not just slip over the knobs. First you remove the knob, place the cover in position with lid open, then replace the knob, and finally close the cover. The covers are made of thin plastic and might not hold up well around children, large dogs and frequent use. I also read reviews that stated they must be removed when using the oven or they will melt. I don't use the oven much at all and will be gentle with these covers. I hope they last a year but if not I know I can find them at Amazon for a good price. They are an inexpensive alternative to replacing the stove knobs. I ordered the charcoal color because our stove knobs are black. I think they look a bit clunky but friends have complimented me on them and said they look attractive. The knobs are on the front of the stove which seem to work best with this product. I hope they work as well for you as they seem to do for us. If you have trouble opening the lid just squease it with the opening lip positioned at the 12:00 position...then it should pop open.
