Cooked for years with gas, but had to put up with a electric range the last four years , now we have both electric ovens and gas top what a treat it is to be able to cook with ease and not worry about burning or under cooked foods, because gas gives more control of heat. A convection oven will be great for faster oven cooking.
Dual fuel awesome!!! Both modalities work so wonderfully---gas top fabulous, electric oven excellent and enormous for gigantic celebrations---still smiling with pure joy!
I bought this range to complete my new kitchen renovation. Wow what a great way to finish my kitchen. This range is everything and more. It is a better way of cooking and cooking healthy!
Just bought this unit, and very happy so far. Many reviews said the heating time was "slow", which is vague, but it is at least as fast as other duel fuel ovens I have owned. I also read reviews that said the burners weren't very powerful, however, I used the included kit to convert mine to propane service and I don't think it would be practical to have burners with higher heat output. In fact, I would say that the burners almost output too much heat on the low setting. Propane has a lower energy density than natural gas, so I can't imagine the natural gas configuration having lower output. My guess is that those reviews were from people who had either incorrectly installed the conversion kit, didn't install it when it was needed, plugged up the line with teflon tape/pipe dope, or connected the unit to a gas line that was too small or horribly kinked. Only complaint is the plastic adjustable legs, which don't provide much adjustment and are pretty flimsy. If they are adjusted out 3/4" or so you can see them flexing when you slide the unit into place. The threaded shaft should have been much larger in diameter and longer.
