There isn't much to go wrong with a gas cooktop... that's why you're finding mostly good reviews. Ovens are quite a bit more complicated. There is only one oven I know of that gets consistently good reviews, that would be the Gaggenau. But I think that starts at over $6000 and that's not even for a double oven... The rest of the ovens have their fans and their haters. Here on Gardenweb, it seems like Electrolux is the 2nd least complained about oven, and the vast majority of people seem to be happy. If you put too much weight on online reviews, though... you'll never end up with an oven! When I was shopping for slide ins GE had the best prices, but for wall ovens it looks like you get a lot more for your dollar with Electrolux. It would be tough to get an Electrolux Icon for $2000, but you could certainly pull it off with the regular Electrolux line. They really are the same inside. This is what their line looks like right now: Top of the line Icon: 3 glide racks, pro handle, wave touch controls, around $2500 on ajmadison Middle of the line: 2 glide racks, wave touch controls, around $2000 on ajmadison Bottom of the line: 1 glide rack, IQ touch controls, around $1800 on ajmadison Even though it it still on their website, it looks like they've discontinued the non-prostyle Icon.

weedmeister -- I think that some newer ranges include additional safety features that prevent gas from flowing when there is no power. Another one I looked at -- American Range (closest thing to bluestar that wouldn't require me to move the upper cabinets to the left and right of the range hood), has the following in the manual: POWER FAILURE WARNING Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury, do not attempt to light or operate range burners, grills, griddles, the oven or broiler during a power failure. Safety systems which detect the presence of an ignition source and operate the gas safety valve do not function during a power failure. Be sure all gas valve knobs are placed and remain in the - OFF- position during a power failure. The Fivestar, on the other hand (as does the Samsung) not only works fine with manual lighting of burners during an outage, but the manual explicitly details how to do it. This suggests to me that the Fivestar might be a better choice than the American Range in an area with frequent power outages, just as (on the lower end) the Samsung might be preferable to the Electrolux.

Looking at the Thermador Planning Guide, there is neither an LP nor a NG conversion kit for any of the Pro Grand ranges. Pro Harmony Dual Fuel have an LP conversion kit, but the all-gas ones do not (nor is there a natural gas conversion kit.) You will need to contact Thermador support to find out what nozzles and regulator will be needed. It's more than 6 easily-accessible nozzles, too, because you have to convert the oven burners as well in your all-gas range. Plus the griddle or grill, depending on what that additional location is. Once you start getting into the regulator and manifold on a gas appliance, you would be wise to have a gas-certified technician do the work.

Was having issues with the burners having air and oven would not light. So I have replaced the regulator assembly with a used one that worked. NC-4196-5. I looked at the orifice the wholes looked the same size. The flame on the burners is perfect, but the oven is not nice and blue. It is big with yellow flame. I also replaced the control/thermostat for oven( cheaper version). What controls the gas flow for the oven burner? Does the brass fitting that the burner fits on have anything to do with flame control? I also replaced the igniter too with OEM one.
