36 gas range: Smeg - Fratelli Onofri or Berta master?
Comments (17)I have been browsing the 36" range offerings for the last two months as I have been going through a kitchen remodel, and considering the best options. I have to say I am pretty dissapointed by whats available, the cost point and how unreliable many of the choices seem. I am a professional chef and work on industrial stoves all day, many of which I could purchase for half the price of these so called pro style ranges. Unfortunately they are not insulated for use next to cabinetry. After looking at NXR, Berta, Smeg, Verona, and Fratelli for not wanting to spend more than 3500, which should be adequate, I have decided to go with the GE Cafe Series CGS990SETSS. I thought I would be getting more oven space with a 36" range but turns out not to be true. The GE offers two ovens with over 6 cubic feet of combined space, a 20,ooo btu burner, a included griddle, convection and many, many positive reviews. It also offers many convenience options like roll out racks, digital touch display, sabbath mode, timed shutoff ect... that the bare bones euro models couldn't think to offer. When I considered all of this, the $2500 price, extra cabinet and counter space, and parts and service that I wouldn't have to wait months for, it seems like a no brainer. I appreciate everyone's threads and contributions in making this decision and hope my opinion helps.

Comments (4)Fratelli Onofri range ovens aren't that big. I don't have the dimensions but 13" would not surprise me. My wife and I looked at Onofri as well as Bertazzoni when we were range shopping. They are lovely, but the ovens seem a little small by American standards. However, those who own the Italian ranges seem to think the ovens are big enough....See Morefratelli onofri range
Comments (3)Did you ever find the range or perhaps order it? I am interested in the same one - either hammered bronze or hammered steel. Very pretty range, and I must admit, I am drawn to 'looks'. Hopefully one can cook on it too! :) I live in Florida, also, about an hour North of Tampa....See MoreFratelli Onofri? Any reviews? Seen IRL?
Comments (20)I recently bought a Fratelli Onofri and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything about it - the look, the function and the price. Like most people, I found it on the internet and could find very little information about the product. I happened to ask my mother if she had ever heard of it (she has some friends that just did kitchen remodels) and she said that she thought that my Uncle was selling an Italian made range. Sure enough it was the Fratelli. My Uncle owns a store called All Cape Appliances in S. Yarmouth, MA, but unfortunately for me, I live 3000 miles away from his store. He was able to tell me about the range and locate a seller in my area. He's been in the appliance business for many years and he said the first thing he did when he got the floor model was to take it apart and see how it was made. He said it was top quality. He also got me the name of the distributor in the Los Angeles area (R&B Distributors in Ontario, CA) and a dealer in my area (Saddleback Appliances in Laguna Hills, CA). Everyone was so helpful. I took his advice and bought it through a dealer as opposed to the internet. If you read the small print on the deliver information for the internet companies, they are not responsible for any damages. Also, in the event that I ever needed the range to be serviced, the dealer could arrange for someone to come to my house. The hardest thing was deciding between the double oven and the single oven. I love the idea of the double oven but ultimately went with the single only because my favorite pan didn't fit in the double. The knobs take a little getting used to, but not that difficult. The range doesn't come with a backsplash or a plug and I believe the only models they sell in the states are the Royal Chiantishire and the Evolution....See Moreoruboris
