KitchenAid 48'' 6-Burner with Griddle, Dual Fuel Freestanding Range, Commercial-Style - Stainless Steel

Great quality and the fan system works like it should.

Easy to use. Multiple course dinner done in minutes.

My wife had always wanted to switch from electric to gas for the range top. Since we were doing a kitchen renovation this was going to be part of the budget. I hadn't planned to go from the standard 30in width but when I saw this range and the fact that it was made here in the US I couldn't resist. The added cost over a standard range was a lot to swallow but compared to the competition it was very competitive and when the appliance store gave us 0% interest for 1 year it made it bearable. This range has become the center piece in our kitchen as I knew it would and what ultimately drove the decision to purchase. Everything works as it should and I would never go back to electric for the top burners. The electric ovens have worked well also. We get compliments all the time and couldn't imagine what our kitchen would have looked like without it. Amazing how quickly you can bring something to a boil and having the choice for different burner BTUs is also quite convenient. Choose the larger burner to get a pot of water to a boil. Or choose one of the others that has the simmer and keep something warm all afternoon such as some cider spiced to warm you up on a cool afternoon. Some pros and cons for a range this size. This thing is heavy and when we had it delivered the kitchen was not ready for it so we had it put in the garage. When it came time to move it into the kitchen I had a hard time getting someone other than the appliance store to help hoist this thing in. I ultimately paid the appliance store 150.00 to come back out to the house and move it in from the garage to the kitchen. I had brand new hardwood floors and three steps to negotiate and wanted someone to blame if things didn’t go as planned. It well with the move but this only brought it to the opening as it would have cost me additional money to actually have them connect the gas line and plug it into the receptacle. My builder took care of that. Two cool things I want to mention that I wasn’t expecting. The range has wheels on it to enable you to move it into your cabinet opening and once there you have leveling devices on the front side that allows you to independently adjust each corner to bring it flush with your counter top. A simple wrench to do this and a screw driver to put on the closeout panel along the bottom finishes the job. There are a few things that I would suggest to the design. Have an indicator light when any of the burners are on. One time we forgot that we had a burner on and it was on so low that you didn’t really see the flame. Another item that I really wanted was that cool looking blue color that is used in the ovens of some of the other brands as ours is a grey/black and doesn’t look as impressive. Just a peeve of mine. Lastly we don’t like that the clock doesn’t face outwards as we were so use to looking over to the range for the time when sitting in our kitchen. In the grand scheme these last items wouldn’t stop me from purchasing the same range again but would surely enhance the experience.

Works well, looks great, like the griddle and double oven

I actually purchased the 36" range with griddle and love it! The burners have so much power and love the simmer features. Dual fuel is the only way to go!
