Excellent Range

Looked at DCS, Wolf, Viking, and KitchenAid. Consumer Reports scored the KitchenAid above the others and it was a bit less money to boot. KitchenAid has specification advantages in that it's dual fuel feature can run on a 30A service (instead of 40A+) and you get an extra set of burner jets for propane (if you move to the country). Unit has been bullet proof since installed 3 years ago at Thanksgiving. Burners give good even heat, plenty of adjustment, and the Power Burner has the BTU's to get a pot of water boiling (especially handing when canning). Electric oven is a gem. In regular mode (not convection) it cooks evenly with no need to rotate the pans during cooking. Slide out rack is a must have and the KitchenAid's is beefy and works smoothly even at temperature. Bread proof gives consistent proofing of breads winter or summer and is also a great feature. Broiler gives a consistent heat across a half sheet pan - this is not a point to gloss over when spec'ing an oven. Most have hot spots that require you to rotate pieces or rotate the pan. Careful though as it really pumps out the heat and you can burn the food if you aren't attentive. Made in USA. I cook lot and this unit has met all of my expectations. In fact, I was so impressed with KitchenAid quality I then bought one of their top of the line dishwashers. Another excellent unit I would recommend - you can hardly hear it running!

Very good gas range. Heavy and well built. One thing that could be better is the space in back for the gas hookup and electric outlet. It took my plumber several hours to get it to go all the way back to my backsplash tile. It is fine now so be sure to make sure the hookups are in the right place.

First, I love the sturdy look of this dual range. I like that each burner has it's own rack - ease of cleaning. They are heavy but very sturdy. The knobs for the burners are a great size for ease of turning on or off. All items for each burner can be easily removed for washing. I love the black base as opposed to stainless steel. I have owned GE Profile & Dacor - not user friendly as far as cleanup. I do have one con. It seems that the oven light comes on easily if oven handle is even slightly pulled. Great range and highly recommend.

Upgraded to this from a Whirlpool Super Capacity 465. Same burner layout but more powerful burners. Sliding racks work perfectly (and buy an extra one as they are really inexpensive). Bread proofing is a tremendous feature if you live where the house gets chilly in the winter. My only complaint is the burner knobs have more rotation than flame adjustment. You can still adjust the flame to any level you want it's just that if a knob rotates 220 degrees you'd expect the flame to change height for the whole travel.

This range has everything I need. The burners are precise and even heating. The oven, with the heavy-duty racks is great for use in baking cakes, pies, breads etc. The touch screen for controls is brightly lit with a soft sounding chime when things are done. The heavy duty knobs for the burners is a real plus. This range is a solid great looking appliance. We are very happy with our KitchenAid range1
Pros: easy to use, Performance, Innovative, Convenient Features, Design

This range is really fantastic. I love everything about it except for one simple thing. Since the controls are on the front, naturally, it gets dirty every time the stove top is used. I lock the screen but when I wipe the touch control surface the timer is activated. There may be a way to totally lock every button on the screen, but I haven't found it yet. So far, that is my only complaint.

I am still getting used to my new stove-but so far love everything about it. I love that the grates on the top go all the way across making a flat surface to move a hot pan off the burner or oven to. I used the oven for the first time yesterday and the temperature was true to the recipe. Love the modern industrial style. Took me a minute to get used to the power of the burners-I can boil a big pot of pasta water in just a few minutes. Cleaning around the burners is very easy. Have not tried the convection oven yet. There is no storage for cookie sheets/baking pans but I just store them in the oven and remove them when I use the oven so it hasn't been a problem. All around great stove.

Nothing to complain about, cooking is so much fun now. This gas range is awesome. Took some getting use to after having an electric range because this on cooks much faster.
