Jaty, our range is installed and it looks lovely. Here's the feedback: * The Pacific Sales installation guys were nice but they weren't equipped with the right tools (a very thin wrench) to properly extend the legs to level the unit. I subsequently called Electrolux who sent servicemen to do it for me. Meanwhile I had borrowed a thin wrench from a friend which these guys used to level it. * The unit must be hardwired so be prepared to do some electrical work if you're replacing a more conventional unit. * We are extremely happy with smooth glide racks, the look of the unit, and its cleanability. * The convection bake settings are not working correctly (rear element doesn't heat up). Electrolux promptly sent out very courteous servicemen but their first two attempts have not been successful. They're coming out again. I'll keep this board updated. (The regular bake setting works so we're not yet hampered.) * The burners are wonderful. No complaints here. They are, however, spaced far apart, so conventional griddles barely fit and are not uniformly warm. There is some dead space in the middle of the griddle. This is true even of the griddle they give for free with the unit. On full blast the flames can peek out from under the griddle towards you, so watch out. * You can get infinite control of the simmer setting by turning the knob between off and ignite. Very useful. * The grates are very heavy. By design, it seems that the inner tine is angled just slightly greater than the outer one, so pots rock ever so slightly. It's really not an annoyance but I don't know if it's a defect or not. * The lack of a temperature gauge takes getting used to. The oven beeps twice once preheat has been achieved, so if you've left the kitchen and missed it, you'll never get positive confirmation. This is probably true of other pro-style ranges too. For the price we paid we think it's a great bargain and we would do it again.

Hi Jenny - I know this post is old so I wanted to ask you which you decided to go with and how you like it?

I may be a little late, but we just had a Kobe hood installed over our GE Cafe. Love it. It is a model that actually sits inside the cabinet above, so all you see is a 2" "rim" coming out the bottom. It works great and looks great too - matches the stainless and since you don't see much of it, it doesn't clash at all.

I can't say anything about that particular model Kobe, however I recently installed a Kobe RA3836SQB-1 and the quality and workmanship is superior to anything I had seen to date.
