I bought this to replace a high priced brand gas double oven, that was converted to LP. That oven was serviced 9 times for the same problem (burned out oven igniter). I thought the Thor would be a better choice because it came already equipped for LP fuel, and might not be as “persnickety” to the wetter fuel. I have used it for about a month now and feel I can give a valid review: Pros: 1) It heats up quickly, and the high BTU burners on the range can boil water more rapidly than the converted range did 2) The range surface is easy to clean 3) The convection fan is very quiet, and will run at any temperature vs. the previous oven, which required the temperature be over 350 for the fan to come on. Cons: 1) Since the oven doesn’t have a digital display or timer, I bought a Thermapen dual temp thermometer gauge, with one probe hung in the oven. The other probe can stay directly into food to test for doneness. Thermapen guarantees these to be calibrated and accurate. If the gauge is correct, the Thor oven does a poor job of staying at a set temperature. If I set the oven knob at 350, the thermometer says it ranges from 320 to over 400, even after a half hour of letting the oven warm up. 2). The oven is noisy, in that it “Pops” when it turns on to control the heat, even after the initial warm up.
Just bought this range after our 4 year old Kitchenaid started giving us problems. Wanted to Go with something that didn’t have a computer to work it. We couldn’t be happier.
We recently purchased the Thor 36-inch propane range and are very pleased with it. The design is stylish and adds a sleek touch to our kitchen. The six burners offer plenty of space for cooking multiple dishes simultaneously, making meal prep much more efficient. Additionally, the spacious oven is perfect for larger dishes and baking needs. Especially oversized cookie sheets. Overall, it's been a fantastic addition to my kitchen, offering both functionality and style.
