Bluestar RNB 30' Crates
Comments (4)The grates, (I am assuming you are referring to the heavy bowls not the light grids on which the pans actually sit) are not exactly square, but rectangular. Not by much, but enough that it makes a difference. If you turn the bowls over, you will see a small hole on one end of the back side. If you orient the bowl so the end with the hole is either towards the back or the front of the stove, this is the correct orientation. I would also suggest that when placing the bowls back into position, put the outside end in first so as not to scratch the stainless steel trim on the sides. Hope this helps...See MoreBuying a 30' Bluestar RNB
Comments (8)Honestly, I haven't even looked @ mine yet. I'll go look at it this weekend as we're going to start picking out the rest of the kitchen soon. We're pretty early in the construction phase, had some permit delays, so I've got a pile of appliances in my shop :) The 2 Wolf ovens we purchased are also going to be color matched to the BS (nice to have RAL colors) so I need to verify the green on the range but I'm not too worried about it. My appliance guy saw it and contacted me when it came in, he said it's real perdy :)...See MoreMy new Bluestar RNB V1 30' range

Comments (5)I have a Bluestar 30" RCS v2 and a Zephyr Napoli 36" island hood (ZNA-M90CS). The stainless steel color match is very good. To my eye, they look as if they were made from the same batch of steel and brushed with the same tools and technique. I really love my Bluestar RCS but I have mixed feelings about the Napoli. It looks really nice but it is a lot noisier than I expected. Technically, the noise volume is relatively low and to spec -- ranging from about 40dB(a) to 66dB(a) depending upon the fan speed setting. The problem is not the noise volume, but rather, the quality/pitch of the noise. It is not the low frequency sound of air rushing through the baffles. It is a higher pitch whirring motor/fan sound right at ear level.. You can easily talk over it with normal conversation, but it is quite irritating to listen to. Also, as an island hood, its flat bottom capture area it is not very effective. If I place a steam kettle with its spout directly under the center of the hood (the baffles are 33" above the burner grates), a large portion of the rising steam hits the baffles and then just rolls around and up the sides of the hood to the ceiling. There is no effective storage volume below the baffles to capture and hold the effluent long enough for the air flow to completely exhaust it into the duct. In retrospect, I would rather have an island hood with an external blower and deep recessed, angled baffles....See Moregtadross_gw
