We are not professional cooks but a large family of 6 and we LOVE this stove

An afternoon of visiting a few stores and a price match with 10% off brought the price down to about $1800. Still not cheap... but we found out quickly that today $1000 doesn't even buy you a nice gas stove with extra features... just a gas stove cheaply made. We've owned this for about 2-months and it's fun to cook again! I can actually cook with 5 large pots and pans at the same time! They moved the burners out 3-inches so it's still 30" but you have more cooking area. I can boil water in 5 minutes program it to shut off after the food has cooked for a set period of time and the center burner cooks pancakes and bacon just perfectly at 6000 BTU's (all other stoves with oval center burners were 5000 BTU's). Sorry haven't tried the convection yet.... but it converts automatically. Have read other people's concerns over the fan noise honestly we haven't noticed but most of our cooking is done well under 425 degrees. The stove will give you a nice commercial look one burner gives you professional level 18000 BTU's and for the price it's a great choice. If you're a professional chef/cook I can't imagine you would be happy it would be all look and not enough power. But for us large family cooking 2-meals at home per day sometimes different items for the finicky kid it had all the extra features we wanted at a great price without getting into a commercial stove with a big price tag.

Great hood but need some improvement

We have installed the hood 3 weeks ago by ourselves. The vent duct we installed is vertical goes via kitchen cabinet attic and roof (We got the hood at Lowes but vent duct roof cap flash were from Homedepot). The instruction is clear easily to follow. I and my wife are very happy. All odors after cooking now are gone.

Pros: This is a great product. Looks very sleek with 4 fan speeds: three first speed (up to 300cfm) was quiet the Boost speed - 430cfm is a bit noisy but that is ok. The halogen light range (3 levels) is great.



The cons are: The inner case is not sealed well so not 100% air escapes outside. We put a a duct tape in the top to prevent air get back to the kitchen. Some air still gets back via two holes in the left and right edges. More detail ...

Quiet and good looking

My handyman installed this without incident. The appearance is sleek and modern complementing a stainless range. The fan is not tool loud and works well for the rear burners. One feature that is a bit disconcerting is that it exhausts some air from the top of the hood to cool the light bulbs. It makes me wonder if this is why it captures less fumes than I would like from the front of the stove.



UPDATE 12/05/09 FIVE stars!***** Based on advice in the first comment on my review I had the installation checked and in fact the baffle was diverting part of the exhaust from the duct to the top front vents as though it were a ductless installation. Now there is no more exhaust air at all coming out of the top front vents. I did a smoke test and the hood now draws from the front burner area. This hood properly installed works as well as it looks--and that is saying a lot. Check R. Parkinson's comment for advice on correct installation of the baffle. More detail ...
