Professional Style Ranges

3 months ago

We are looking to renovate a kitchen with a 48” professional range. We have mostly cooked on gas, with a short foray into induction. Because induction is so expensive in this larger format, we are thinking duel-fuel is the way to go for us.

Having read reviews, GE Cafe seems to be consumer reports favorite, but many say to go with Wolf (although there are a lot of poor reviews about the blue enamel interior chipping). Thermador seems to get lower reviews across the higher end options.

What brand is the best option for a family who loves to cook? Any directional feedback welcome because this is a big investment.

Thanks!

    I have enjoyed my Fivestar range for 13 years now. They are not top of the line like Wolf and Thermador but they are built well and look great! Pic below of my kitchen and DH.
