We purchased a new home and upgraded our kitchen. This particular range looks nice except the griddle we thought would be a iron griddle to match the other burners. The griddle takes a long to heat up , our food stuck to it and it was way more cleaning effort then I want to deal with. Wished griddle was removable for easy cleaning. We wish we could have a do over.....I wouldn't have picked the griddle range but would have chose a range with the same look but without the griddle. Not a satisfying feeling of paying big $$$$ for upgraded kitchen and now not happy with purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I chose this for my new house and absolutely love it. The three burner sizes are practical and it's great having an electric oven. There are numerous settings that I haven't been able to try yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

Griddle is Great!

The design of this Commercial grade freestanding range is on spot. I have had mine for 2 months in our new home along with a 42 inch built-in refrigator and separate stack of an oven, microwave and warming drawer. All work great. The secret to the griddle is it takes time to warm up and most cooking is at 350 degrees. Just like in the Japanese Steakhouses, the greeter turns the grill on when you sit down. Your order is taken, get your soup and salad, then when the chef comes out it is ready. This is really simple. Clean up is the same way as in the restaurant. Use lemon juice cut 50% with water and a light (not metal) scrubbing pad under a pot holder as you do the cleaning when hot not cold. I keep mine in a medium sized squeeze bottle in the fridge. One pass with the lemon juice should release most anything you would cook. I would not do chop-chop on the griddle, do that ahead of time. It holds heat evenly and for a long time after it is turned off. Overall 5 Stars!

The range is well designed and we keep learning about its new features. We were especially pleased to discover that the range may be leveled through adjusting screws in the front of the unit, so our kitchen contractor could raise the range about a quarter of an inch higher than the granite countertop in about 3 minutes--no biggie!
Pros: Performance, Design, Convenient Features

I have had this stove for 5 months and love it! The burners are great and the convection oven will cook 5 loaves of bread at once perfectly. One drawback is the griddle is very slow to heat up (25 minutes), but once it is heated it is very even heat. Another is the stainless steel is hard to clean and remove fingerprints. Overall the benefits far out way the negatives.
