I have worked in professional fine dining kitchens for over twenty years. This range is as sturdy and powerful as any full commercial equipment that I have worked on.
We just installed this about 2 weeks ago. We love the look and it's clean design. It's not cluttered up with a bunch of lights and screens. We just got our countertops installed in the kitchen so we have only cooked a few items, but so far so god. Everything is heavy duty and well built. We specifically like that the gas knobs need to be pushed in, then rotated in order to turn then on. That keeps it safe from an accidental bump or a curious grandkid.
The stove is the centerpiece of our brand new kitchen… The custom green door really makes everything pop nicely. Function is great so far… No complaints. Highly recommended.
I rate this range a million stars. It's the best of class, for certain. I've cooked on everything from wood fires to gas fired, and big names such as Wolf, Viking, Blue Star, Thermador, et al, and in all sizes, and my new 'little' 4 burner KDF302 30" Kucht is putting all competitors to shame. This unit is strong, with a 'high dollar' feel to it; it's beautiful, it's quality, it's Kucht. The blue green door and kick plate are gorgeous, but the quality of this range is a true game changer at this price point. From the sealed burners ("made in Italy"), the deep welled cook-top, heavy cast gratings with strong feet and durable rubber bumpers to the blue interior and very heavy duty, smooth rolling racks, this unit is made to endure anything that comes its way. The burners adjust well, and I love the push button convection option. I've been 'down sizing' for the last 10 years, going from a 60" to a 48", then to a 36" (a dual fuel Z-Line, which was beautiful and cooked/baked well for aittle while, but was 'light' in its build and absolutely NO match for this Kucht), and now to a 30". I am just ecstatic about this range. I just don't see how anyone could go wrong with buying a Kucht. I love it!
Bought this one month ago for a kitchen remodel and love it! It has a professional look, durable, and easy to clean the stovetop. Solid, well-manufactured cooking grates and griddle.
