Not a full review, but a start.

I received the range today and had it installed. It looks great, all five burners work with nice blue flames and the oven is doing a broil function that is recommended to be done to clear up any residual oil from manufacturing. It has not undergone any testing with cooking anything
yet.
The range was well-packed. It was in a 1/2 plywood box on a pallet with the corners of the box reinforced with metal and attached with screws. The range was further protected with Styrofoam inside the plywood box.
The gas inlet is in the right side of the range. It has a 50 amp plug but can be hardwired too, these instructions on the back of the range. This was not done, but I am assuming it was correct.
After installation:
One thing I noticed that was sort of a bummer was that there is no self-cleaning function with the oven. I did not look for that function when I purchased the appliance, so it is not their fault. I take responsibility for not researching that part.
The unit has individual legs that help level the whole range, but the problem is the decorative shields in front of them make that difficult to do easily and they are hard to remove. There is also a warning not to push the range into place and only lift it, which is impossible. I am not sure which two humans can lift a range into place between two countertops with overhead cabinets, especially since there is no place to grab the range. Most of the easiest places to grab it are labeled as not to grab there.
I foresee a future of dust and junk gathering under the oven since it is on 4 legs and there is not a barrier between them to stop stuff to make it under the oven. There should be an option to put a full stainless steel kick plate. I personally do not want to sweep under a range that has only a few inches of clearance.
Granted, I knew when I bought it that it was an oven on four individual feet. It is probably trendy and may get cool points, but I personally would prefer to discover all the dust and grime when I have to move the range a decade or more from now, if it holds to its quality claims.
The primary benefit for the range for me is it that it is mechanically simple and not electronically heavy. It does not have a circuit board that will burn out decades before the gas pipes and valves degrade. Most ranges now have touch screens that break, some sort of phone app system that breaks and some sort of internet connection that breaks. It is all not needed and just asks for problems.
I am giving it 3 stars because I went to register it for warranty purposes and the review was required. I hate required reviews so; I can't give a perfect score when it has yet to be used in any capacity.

Beautiful well built range

We installed our new range and it works perfectly. Construction and styling is Every bit as good as Viking or Thermador. The only complaint I have is Forno could provide more operational information. Like air fryer operation.

Simply does not exist to buy in Canada.
If it did, I would buy it.
Seriously.

I need to leave a review to register warranty. I haven't used it yet. I ordered 5 appliances and if I need to do this for each registration that will suck.They al look pretty hope all work well too. And i need 50 characters before i can even submit. What a pain in the butt.
