Tips When Shopping for a Pro Range 

Yeah... the conveniences of having electronics in everything come with the added complexities of maintaining and the higher cost of repairing them. Give me an all-gas range with no electrical components..... one that works with just standing pilot lights and nothing else. I want to be able to cook in the comfort of my home, in the middle of a power outage, in the dead of winter. No compromise!

avoid range that has a computer, you will save yourself time and money. technicians always spike up there service charge when servicing a high end appliance.

I went to a commercial stove because all of the home ranges have computer controls. When an electrical spike killed the computer board in my Kitchen Aid range, the oven no longer worked Replacing the board is an expensive waste of time as the next electrical spike will destroy the computer again. After going through this nightmare I will never buy another kitchen range with a computer control. Jenn Air is just another expensive home range that is presented as a commercial range. It is nothing but another piece of computerized junk made to look like a commercial range.

I wish you would have spoke of the VULCAN OVENS AVAILABLE FOR HOME KITCHENS

BlueStar should be in this lineup.

I don't need to program my oven. I need an oven that I set to a temperature and it goes to that temperature. That is all anyone needs.

How can you talk about pro ranges without mentioning Viking? Thats nuts!

Which brand is best for Industrial/dirty kitchen use? For something like Catering applications.

I spent $15K on a Thermador only to spend another $1200 to replace the sliding shelves 2 years later. They have ball bearings that get stuck after a single cleaning cycle. Everything else was great but the oven shelves are a total fail.

What about bluestar?

what would you get for your kitchen.. Wolf vs Monogram?

Quick and simple but filling

Sadly, many who own these hardly use them

Does anyone know, WHEN is the best time to purchase a wall oven. Are the prices better toward the end of the year?

thanks for tip tho... im looking at bluestar ranges

What about SMEG?

What about Viking?

Thanks Laura. Very helpful.. I'm shopping for a range, nothing big.. 36". But the nice American brands like Wolf or Viking are a total rip-off here in Europe.. any European maker you can recommend?

Anyone like ge cafe 30inch duel fuel?

Stay away from Jen-Air.. piece of junk ranges.. Thermador (first place), Wolf, Miele and Bertazzoni are the best ever

Viking ain't bad. Definitely better than jennair.

WHY IS SHE YELLING AT ME?

🤙👍

The girl looks exactly like my ex... ugh... regrets. Gaggenau and Thermador are excellent brands.

Don't ever buy a Thermador product. Their after market service is horrid. They treat their customers terribly. After 4 months and conversations with 3 different people, I am STILL waiting on a refund for an incorrect part they sent to me. Absolute nightmare.

There is nothing PRO about these ranges they are simply big, flashy, and RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. Take a tour of the kitchen of a big hotel or restaurant and look at the ranges they use. They have absolutely NOTHING in common with these pieces of eye candy.

People that can afford this stuff don't cook
