American is the DCS residential units of the 90s and 2000s. They are simple, reliable, with finishes that are good, but not polished like a jewel similar to many of the Vikings and Thermadors of its time. The pricing reflects that. Normally it was about 1000-1500 bucks cheaper. I would buy an American range any day of the week but we will be going all electric in the future where no gas range or appliance can be had in CA. I just discovered that I can no longer have a tank water heater instead it must be tankless. I am going to stay ahead of their game and hook up 220 power to a box nearby and wait for that day. This is new building code in the city of Torrance where I am building ourselves a new rental.
