Most of all ranges are made in the same factories. I bought a Jenn-Air 48" range from a place going ot of biz. The only issue that I've found was that the ovens are in need of calibration but it was covered under warranty. The other thing that was a problem in learning the oven was that the doors need to be pushed shut in order for the ovens to come up to temp.

If you buy a range with an electric griddle do have your electrician wire the range on it's own circuit. At first mine was added to the reffrigerator and it would blow 20 amp breakers.

I bought the matching hood. The range list at $7,300 and got it for $4,800 OTD and the hood is $1900 got it for $700

IF your buying a BIG range my word of advice is to pay for delivery. I had a time problem where I didn't have the house ready so I had the range delivered to my warehouse. 3 months later I had it moved to the home. Problem was during one of the two moves a gas line got crushed and it took forever to get the right part # for the line. Their phone people couldn't even look it up.

The lower kick panel got bent as well on the lift gates diamond plate. I don't know if mover 1 or 2 did it so I had to pay for it. I was expecting a $200 bill. Sears appliance center was $37!!!!!

One of the brands that I looked at is 48 6-Burner, Electric Ovens, Self-Clean | Bertazzoni The cool thing about this range is that theres less things to go wrong. I would have bought the gas ovens over the electric as well. I just copied the electric.


The Fridge I bought is a Samsung and it has great reviews. old kitchen
new kitchen
