DCS/Bertazzoni/Capital gas range?
Comments (5)The Bertazzoni is not really in the same league as the other two. Although it looks great and may cook fine on the top, it has a much smaller and weaker oven and broiler. Also the way it ignites the gas is not as good as the others. I'd stick with DCS or Capital (which also makes a 5 burner) or Wolf or Bluestar or American- those are all good ranges....See MoreKids and a Bertazzoni gas range
Comments (3)I have had a Bertazzoni pro style range for almost 4 years now. I wrote a longer review about it, there is a thread about it... http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/appl/msg1100371919356.html?26 It is a bit worrisome to me that the knobs do not feel totally locked when they are in the closed position. People lean on my range due to the location in the kitchen, and sometimes they bump into the oven ignite which starts it ticking but doesn't release gas unless you turn it. As far as the range top goes, which is what I think you're only asking about... I feel that it may be a bit more dangerous than other ranges I've used. It is easy to just gently push the knobs in and turn them to a point where the gas is released. As with any pro style range, having the knobs directly on the face of the range makes them more prone to child fiddling. I have often thought about 3d printing a knob 'holster' for them to keep any of them from moving unless it's removed. I haven't run into the problem with kiddos turning it on, or releasing gas, yet. I have young ones in the house often enough who love to push all the buttons on everything. But I would probably equate that to the fact that we basically live in this kitchen and that is the only time the kids are in there. Personally I think any gas range/rangetop is going to have inherent risks, kids or no. I will say my Bert is much easier to 'start' than my my Wolf which really requires a heftier push and turn. Not sure if this one item would be enough to tell you to stay away from the Bert however. I wouldn't say it 'just takes a bump' to start it. It takes more effort than that. I linked a video review I did of the range at the bottom which I assume has the same performance as the range top. You can see how far you need to turn the handles to turn it on and off in there.

Comments (4)Oh good! Mine was a display model at a tiny shop in a tiny town, so I took it as a package deal. The hood included was the 36" that is more powerful (600cfm) so I think they give you half off that one, or full rebate on a less powerful fan. My HVAC guy said 600cfm is appropriate and it's been great so far. I have no idea how the less expensive fan compares. It's a somewhat temporary installation in a rather quirky old kitchen, but it's just perfect to me ;) I've even managed some decent baking. It's been a while, so I'm kind of proud. The last stove was vintage and in very poor shape, so it's all kind of new to me. I loved the lack of electronics on the old stove, which is why I really wanted to try the Berta. Check out our pizza! Sorry. Now I'm just bragging :) I doubt I would have gotten the backsplash, but as I said, it was a package deal. In retrospect, it's kind of perfect since it saved us having to think about it. Someday, the stove will be more built-in, but in the meantime it's a lovely and functional piece of kitchen sculpture. I've cooked on stoves that cost twice as much, and haven't been impressed. Enjoy yours!...See MoreWolf 36" all gas range vs 2018 redesigned Bertazzoni Master 6 Burner
Comments (2)good point nicolepetricca I cannot believe how hidden reviews are. They are buried. Don't tell me that people don't review on all these appliance selling sites. I can find nothing new on the redesign. I have decided not to spend that insane amount of money on a no-bells-or-whistles Wolf all gas. With tax delivery setup will be about 7300! Nope...See MoreDoverStGal
