Dual fuel range
on August 2, 2024
Posted by: John
Only had the range for 2 days but everything is functioning as expected.
Pros,
- Looks good.
- Works well.
- Heavy duty grates on top
- Includes accessories.
- Because there is no digital screen, I was initially concerned that I would not know when the oven was up to temperature. But there is an orange light next to the oven temperature knob and, as I hoped, it did go out when the oven reached temperature setting. It then goes on and off as the oven temperature fluctuates. I could not find anywhere in the manual where it tells me that. Seems like it should!
- Nice full extension racks.
- Bright oven lights.

Cons,
- Oven height is low. To get an average size Dutch oven with lid in, the two full extension racks have to be in the very top and bottom positions.

- Full extension racks are very tricky to move to a different height.
- The decorative red lights that are turned on by a switch on the front panel are a waste and look rediculous. They should have put the cost of that into an auto on oven light when you open the door, which doesn't exist. You turn on the oven lights with a switch on the front panel.
- No bottom drawer. Would be great to have a drawer to store the accessories.
- Top grates are very heavy!
- No specific air fry setting on the oven function knob.
- The back of the range comes down too far, not leaving enough room for my 220 volt plug. I had to remove the electrical box from the wall and move it down to get the range to push back against the wall. They only allow 8" from the floor to top of plug. A very big inconvenience. I was able to do this myself but expensive if you need to get in an electrician.
- Stainless steel is not finger print resistant.
- You have to install the oven handle. Not terribly difficult but a bit of a pain. Feels a bit flexy, like it should have 2 screws per side rather than 1 per side.

Conclusion,
After much searching, we determined that there was no perfect range for us (in our price range) but this one was the closest. In spite of all the cons listed above, it is a nice appliance and we would recommend it if it looks to fit your needs.

Fantastic professional cooking

Excellent burner with an electric oven that you can trust will bake at an even temp all the time. The looks are just stunning. A great addition for any high end kitchen.
