FiveStar TTN5257BSW 48" Pro-Style Dual-Fuel Natural Gas Range with 6 Open Burners, Vari-Flame Simmer on Front Burners, 3.69 cu. ft. Convection Oven, Self-Cleaning and Double Sided Grill/Griddle: Stainless Steel with Brass Package Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While there are some common problems with this range, such as radically inaccurate oven temperatures, the biggest problem are the igniters. These devices, which have now been replaced, continue to try igniting an already lit burner. Sometimes the igniter won't stop immediately after the burner is lit. Sometimes after boiling pasta on high for ten minutes, it will start clicking. Sometimes the clicking will start after two hours simmering. The repair technician explained that this was a common problem with Five Star and that I should count on paying him on a regular basis for this repair. A little over a year after having the igniters replaced, they started doing it again.

Dacor Epicure ER30DSCHLP 30" Freestanding Dual Fuel Range with 4 Sealed Gas Burners, 3.9 cu. ft. Self-Cleaning Convection Oven, Meat Probe and RapidHeat Bake/Broil Elements: Liquid Propane Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My first Dacor range, a bottom of the line model, fell apart and was replaced by this model. Baking in this oven is unpredictable. A cake that is supposed to take 45 mins can take 80 mins. The temp fluctuates too much. Also the enamel interior of my stove has cracked and is chipping off allowing the metal underneath to rust. Beautiful stove but spend your money elsewhere. If I could I would pitch this one and buy another brand.

Premier 36 Electronic Ignition Gas Range - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When my wife bought our new home, this range was installed. We had our reservations about it from first glance because it just looks and feels cheap but since it came with the house we figured we would use it for a few years and then replace it. Now, four months later, we're replacing it. Within a couple weeks of its first use the ignition on one of the burners went out. The repair man that came out sighed when he saw what brand it was and said he runs more service calls for Premier brand stoves than any other brand. He figured out what the problem was but told us it may take a long time to fix because Premier parts are nearly impossible to come by because no one is willing to make aftermarket parts for such a pile of garbage and Premier itself doesn't sell its own parts.
As of the time of this writing the stove still isn't fixed.
Another problem is the finish paint on the outside. Anytime you cook ANYTHING the paint turns brown. This is because Premier doesn't use a heat resistant coating over the paint so any amount of heat literally burns the paints surface. It comes off with a little scrubbing but realize that you're not just scrubbing off brown spots, you're literally scrubbing your paint off. We're curious how long it's going to take until we scrub through to raw steel.
The burners themselves are difficult to control. The distance you have to turn the knob to go from off to full on is only about a quarter of an inch so fine adjustments of heat are very hard. The oven doesn't hold temperature worth a darn either. If you set the oven at 350 it will heat to nearly 400, then turn off and wont turn on again until about 310. This is a swing of 90 degrees! Something that cooks long, like a braised beef, won't notice, but with something fast like cookies you'll either burn or undercook them nearly every time.
Speaking of the oven, there's no safety to ensure that when you turn it on that it's actually on. You turn the knob, the ignitor clicks, and the gas starts flowing. Twice now the oven didn't light but gas poured out anyway. It took choking on the fumes to realize that we were being gassed by our own oven. You'll notice the same problem with the stove control knobs. A light brush against the knobs will open the valve enough to let gas out but not light it. Countless times I've realized the stovetop was pouring gas out because someone brushed against the knobs.
We've tried to contact Premier about this problem but their customer service number consists of an answering machine that no one obviously checks because we've never gotten ca call back.
If I could give this product zero stars I would. It doesn't even deserve the one I had to give it. Avoid this range at all costs.

Whirlpool : WFG111SVQ 30 Freestanding Gas Range with 4 Semi-Sealed Burners White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is unfortunately the stove my apartment came with. Sure, it has the basics: four burners and an oven. But consider this if you actually want to use the oven--there's no way to check the oven temperature (accurately) without opening the door. There's no temperature display, no light to indicate the oven has reached temperature, and no window in the door through which to look to check your own thermometer that you've placed inside. Sure, you can stand there and listen for the gas to shut off to tell you it's reached temperature if you want to...
Also, the pilot flames are positioned too close to the range surface, resulting in a buildup of soot on the underside of the sealed cooktop. Over time, this produces an odor very similar to the smell of natural gas, and the whole thing must be disassemlbled for cleaning. Another problem with the pilots being so close to the cooktop is that any spillage/splatter from open pots & pans instantly cooks on to the surface, making for very difficult cleaning.
Fine if you just need a stove to fill the space in your kitchen, but stay away from this model if you actually cook.

Premier SFK240T 30" Freestanding Gas Range with 4 Open Burners, 3.9 cu. ft. Manual Clean Oven, Electronic Ignition, Bakeview Windowed Oven Door and 10" Tempered Glass Backguard: Bisque Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall, I like my range. I have had it a little over a year and use it a lot, being a homemaker. There are two problems that we have had with this range. The knob for the oven has been replaced half a dozen times because the numbers wear off. I don't use chemical cleaners on my range, or even in my house. The company said last time that the knob I was getting was from a new shipment and shouldn't have a problem. Today I called again because all the numbers have worn off my knob. It is very difficult to adjust the temperature of an oven when you can't read the numbers. The person who took my call asked me how I cleaned my knob. I told him that I didn't use any chemicals just water (if needed). He said he hadn't had any other complaints. Perhaps that is because most Americans don't bake much anymore. The stove knobs have not had any writing wear off on them. So, it has to be the knob. He is sending me a knew knob, but I'm not to positive about it's numbers lasting. In addition, the controller that turns the gas on and off for the oven quit working about ten months after we purchased the stove. The company did fulfill it's warranty and fix it, but I was disappointed that it didn't last very long and hope the component does not wear out again in ten months.

Summit: Professional Series TM13027BFKWY 20'' Freestanding Gas Range with Manual Clean, Electronic Ignition and Clock w/ Timer: Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We were very excited to purchase this stove 2 years ago, but it has been a disappointment. The electric starters have cracked on several occasions and cost a lot to replace. Although the stove is supposed to prevent water & food from getting below the lid, it does. The stove, although level, still tends to tilt food forward so cakes come out looking funny and items cooking on the burner, like eggs, have to be adjusted for an even cook.
Making it worse is that already stain/rust marks have begun to appear on the front, the metal grill on top of the burners (on which the pots and pans sit) is chipped and stained, and the cheap plastic cover over the time display has become warped from the heat.
I don't recommend buying this stove.

Westinghouse WWGF3002KW 30 Inch Free-Standing Gas Range Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased Kitchen Aid Gas Range 4 years ago and I have had a technician at my home each year since I purchased the range. It is always the same issue, when I turn on the self cleaning oven feature the thermostat fails. This requires a service technician and $180.00 to fix the ranges design defect each time it fails. Kitchen Aid tells me there is no problem but, each time the technician visits he tells me there is a service notice on the ranges web page informing him what's wrong, strange that the stove has a notice for the technician but the stove has no design flaw!
I just had the technician at my home again today, now the Kitchen Aid tech web site tells my technician that the stove has a new service notice. It details the problem; electronics won't work and oven door won't open after self cleaning feature is engaged. Solution, install a modified fan assembly and new thermostat. When I challenge Kitchen Aid about the service notice they tell me there is no recall or problem with the range. This sounds a bit like Toyota and the "there is nothing wrong with our cars" speech, only to be followed up with the recall of several million vehicles.
I have had nothing but problems with its Kitchen Aid Range, I have had similar quality issues with the matching above the range microwave oven, I suggest that you avoid this brand like the plague until the manufacture takes notice of its quality control problems and learns not to lie to its customers. If you have questions you can contact me, I will give you a tally of the manufactures customer service lies and the dismal quality of Kitchen Aid's expensive products.

Kitchen Essentials® from Calphalon® Stainless Steel Round Griddle - 12" Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this griddle today and tried it out immediately. I followed the instructions given by many nonstick cookware reviewers and washed this griddle before using. I also sprayed it lightly with pam and then fired it up to grill fresh vegetables. I have to say this was a pleasure to use and I didn't realize how much better vegetables taste when grilled. The vegetables turned out perfect but the pan didn't. I soaked the pan and then after dinner tried to wash it and the burned on teriyaki sauce is permanently embedded.Also I noticed that there are already white specks where the nonstick surface is missing. Needless to say I will be returning this immediately. I've bought cheap nonstick pans that cleaned up easily without scrubbing so I know that this is just poor quality. Now I want a 12 inch round griddle but I think I'm going to try the iron one.

Eurodib Single Induction Cooker, 120 Volts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)NOTE: This unit is also sold as the Max Burton 6000 for half the price. My recommendation applies to the Max Burton unit as well.
This is our first induction unit and we love it. I think this is a remarkable technology and can be had so cheaply, I don't know why everybody isn't buying these.
1)Very intense heat when you want it -- better than a high powered gas stove for stir frying or steak on cast iron. This unit is quite powerful rated at 1600 watts.
2)Instant and precise temperature controls -- comparable to gas.
3)Digital temperature indicators -- far better than gas.
4)A timer!! Fantastic. So you can put something on and plan to have it stop cooking in 10 minutes. No range does this that I know of.
5)MUCH less wasted heat. With a conventional range, 50-60% of the heat is just heating up your kitchen. With induction, ALL the heat goes into the bottom of the pan so much less is wasted and your kitchen stays cooler. That is also why induction provides such intense heat for frying.
A couple of other comments.
-- Don't get bamboozled into buying expensive clad stainless for compatibility with induction. There are very inexpensive disk bottom stainless saucepans pans that will perform extremely well -- shop the restaurant supply houses. Johnson-Rose is one brand I like and they're dirt cheap. Arguably disk bottom is BETTER than pricy clad pans that try to spread the heat up the walls of the pan. You usually don't WANT the heat on the sides. Another thing that works great on induction is your old reliable cast iron.
-- I cannot tell if there are real performance differences between induction brands. People seem to like the $500 Viking induction cooktop, but Viking customers are notorious for wanting to justify all the money they spent. The Viking's selling point is a lot of wattage, but the $105 Eurodib we own has virtually the same power rating.
The quandary is what brand to buy -- and I suspect for the most part you can't make a bad choice. I've shopped 110 volt induction cooktops extensively and the differences seem to be relatively slight. They all have mostly the same features and all seem to get good reviews. Some are more powerful than others (this Eurodib is 1600 watts supposedly) but I'm not sure that power really means much for home use because they will all heat up a pan to 400 degrees. And most people don't need searing heat most of the time anyway -- most of our cooking is at the moderate temps. So the most important feature may be a wide gradation of power and temperature settings.

Induction cooking produces heat through the production of magnetic fields.This is an extremely energy efficient cooking method using approximately 90 percent of the energy produced.When used with magnetic cookware the electrical energy utilized by the induction cooker is transmitted directly to the pan surface.It is the pan not the burner that heats up.In addition to being efficient, this allows for very responsive temperature adjustments.Induction is also an extremely safe method of cooking.Once the pan is removed from the cooker, the energy transfer stops and the cook plate is soon cool to the touch.This single burner, portable induction unit is designed for light commercial and domestic use.Control functions allow for adjustment of temperature (140-390F), power level (1-10), and cook time (5-120 minutes). Note that low temperatures are achieved at the lower power and temperature settings, whereas the higher temperatures are achieved at the higher power and temperature levels.Safety features include auto switch off and alarm when temperature exceeds 390 degrees F.

Vacu-Stack Wind Resistant Chimney Cap - 8 Inches Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't know how this product works because I have never used it. After I purchased it, I found out that I did not need it. The problem I had with the chimney was fixed without having to change the top. The company would not take it back, in fact they would not even return my correspondence. I did read later that they do not take returns. I wish I would have seen this before I bought it. It does look well made. So my only suggestion is, make sure you need it before you purchase it.

This is the premier chimney cap for solving common, wind-related draft problems. These problems often occur for homes that have hills, mountains, tall trees or buildings in the vicinity. When wind flows around the Vacu-Stack's unique design, wind speeds increase which creates a partial vacuum. This vacuum then pulls flue gases up and out of the chimney, thus preventing wind-induced downdraft and the resulting infiltration of smoke, odor, and flue gas into your home.

King Kooker 86PKT 12-Inch High Pressure Portable Propane Outdoor Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had one of these cookers for about 10 years. I bought it to fry turkeys. I wanted the most stable cooker I could find, and this seemed to fit the bill.
The circular base, the deep recessed area over the burner where the pot sits, and the fact that the entire frame of the unit is one solid piece makes it very stable and strong.
No worry about legs digging into soft ground and tilting, etc. The working mechanism is about as simple and foolproof as possible, just a burner and the L.P. regulator.
It sits low to the ground which makes it easy to lower the turkey into the pot, which of course makes it safer to use. It is also very portable. I believe it is the perfect cooker for my occasional turkey fry.

Viking Range White Stand Mixer 7 Qt. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The machine died after 3 months. I am just starting to bake and was enjoying it until I taxed the Viking with bread making - not multiple loaves but just one at a time. It died very silently - no smoke or ozone/burnt motor odor - just quietly died while making cream icing with cream cheese and cream. I hit the reverse and it just started to make a gurgling noise and then was no more.
I called the company - not really the company but a repair facility in Detroit and was told the best they could do was to mail me a FedEx slip and I was responsible for boxing the unit and they would repair it.
When I suggested that they send me a box or another motor unit (I would send the current unit back) I was informed that this was not company policy. When I attempted to call Viking and when I asked to speak to corporate customer service I was directed back to the repair facility in Detroit - this happened over and over.
I mentioned that I bought the unit retail on the website they still insisted that they couldn't help me.
Cooks illustrated rated the Kitchen Aid Professional 600 as their number one choice - the Viking did not even make it into the first three best choices - I strongly agree. The Viking is more expensive and the service is lacking. And more importantly the maching is inferior.
I am considering the Hobart or the Kitchen Aid and I will keep the Viking as backup. When you buy a mixer get it from a department store that offers guarantees that include replacement units. I am going to the Sears website now.
