Does anyone have Kitchenaid 30'gas slide in w/ convection?

15 years ago

Do you love it? Was it purchased recently? The model I'm looking at is KGSS907S. I have already purchased the Bosch dual fuel in SS, it hasn't been delivered yet. So I could still change my mind. The KA is cheaper and in these times I need to cut back where I can. I would also get the OTR Micro.

Would love to hear feedback, I know there have been some problems with KA ranges.

I'll probably post on appliances, but more traffic over here.

Thank you!

Yes.
WE've had it for about a month. i 've noticed that my bread is raw in the middle when i use the convection setting. So i have been baking with the regular mode.

also, what bothers me is that the simmer burner is right in the front. it's not what i use the most often, though, and i would have preferred it in the back.

otherwise it is great. i LOVE the warming drawer.

Do a search - i know that people have had trouble with the self cleaning mode. HAvent used that yet!

good luck

I was looking at that same model just this morning and was wondering the same thing. I love GW!

For what it's worth, I have a 2 year-old freestanding gas Kitchenaid range (without convection) and have had no problems. I love the burners and the cast iron grates. So, just want to swap it out with a slide-in for my newly remodeled kitchen.

I'll be watching your post:)

Best mid-range slide-in 30' gas (or dual fuel)?

I come on here about 1to3 times a week and rarely post anything. When I do it is in response to what I know about which at this point is gas stoves because I spent a year researching them. I usually mention NXR's because very few people know about them, in fact less than a year ago I had never heard of one either but fortunately saw a few owners of NXR's on this website that got me interested in them. There are no NXR showrooms near me either, there are several along the East Coast and several on the West coast. My wife & I were going to Florida to visit friends and I thought I would check to see if there was a place to see, touch, feel, slam and bang an NXR stove along the way. We found a place in Tampa Florida, was about a 2 hour detour for us but decided to stop by and check it out, glad we did because we were sold as soon as we saw it. The place we bought it from said they have sold quite a few over the years and have never had one come back. He then opened the oven door and stood on it with his full weight, probably about 190-200# just show how well built the stove was. We bought one from them because they had as good a price as any we had found anywhere ($1799.00). I can basically guarantee the NXR is better than the 3 you listed but I fully understand not wanting to buy something sight unseen, we didn't.

Does KitchenAid customer service have a bad rep?
Q
Comments (28)
Six years ago I wrote a scathing review of KitchenAid customer service. Since then I purchased a Sub Zero refrigerator and have had the exact opposite experience. Amazing support, you get to talk with a live person, etc. I haven't had any major issues with this new refrigerator but they always send a technician out (free of charge under warranty) and he takes care of the appliance, explains everything to me, etc. This appliance is designed to last 20+ years, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, LG, Samsung and others are good for about 5 years if you're lucky. It's a big investment to purchase a Sub-Zero, but I think in the long run you may find it doesn't cost any more than replacing one of these cheaper brands every 5 years or so.

Does anyone have a gas slide in range that they love?
Q
Comments (39)
I am one of the posters on the Appliance forum complaining about my Bosch range. My range is loud! I was first sent a range which was very noisy and I suspect was defective. (It was also the wrong model#, but that is another story...). This was replaced by the correct model#, and it is quieter that the first, but I still find it loud. I have had a serviceman out here and he told me that my range is not louder than other Bosch ranges. I just went and turned it on right now to compare it to other appliances... It is louder than my six year old microwave. It is louder than the low setting on my exhaust fan (a Kenmore 500 CFM). It is louder than my Cuisinart toaster/convection oven. I don't have to raise my voice to talk while it is running, but my kids do turn up the volume a little bit on little TV sitting on the counter ten feet away. My research suggests that the quietest dual-fuel slide-in is the Kenmore Elite. After debating this for months, I ultimately decided to stay with the Bosch because I love how it looks. It is Titanium (stainless with white glass) and it looks terrific with my white cabinets. It's that whole form over function thing! The burners are fine and the oven bakes nicely. I am just perplexed as to why a company that boasts of having such quiet dishwashers can't make a quiet range! nclakehouse, I don't think you are supposed to have a silicone oven liner above the heating coils. The one I bought - and returned - stated that it must be placed under the coils - which is hard to do with the hidden elements! Nicole

Rounded it down to 2: KitchenAid or LG 30" gas range?

If you have electricity your options for a slide-in could include a Frigidaire or Bosch induction. Simple to wipe clean and doesn't add heat to your space. More responsive than gas.

My slide-in KA range is being installed today. The mico wave is already installed. I love the look of the appliances and hope I will love the cooking as well. If it is anything like my old KA I know I will be happy.
I have heard about the self-cleaning problem, but hope it has been resolved. I read about that a few months ago.
A little tip-my salesperson said he has the same range, and when he does really heavy cooking for company etc, he puts those little aluminum range covers around the burners to catch drips, etc. then when the cooking is done, he throws them away and (Wa La) the range is clean.

Thanks for all the responses. Organic Nettie, I'll be waiting to see how you like your range.

Lacuisine- that's too bad about the convection. Doesn't that upset you to spend the extra money for it and not have it work? Maybe someone can come for a service call to fix it.

Still not sure what I'm going to do. Anyone else want to chime in?

We've had ours for just over 3 weeks and couldn't be happier with it.

The seamless grate make it a breeze to slide a pot off a burner instead of having to carefully make sure its balanced like our previous stove. The controls are very easy to use. Setting temps and timers are fairly simple as well.

As previously mentioned, I would also prefer the power burner and simmer to be in the back since we've found that's where we tend to boil pasta or simmer sauces, but overall we are very pleased.

Have you looked at the Frigidaire? When I bought mine last year it got rave reviews for that price range - actually, I think you can find it for less than the KA ~ & I'm very happy with it.

It has lots of the same feautres - warming drawer, continuous grates, convection, & the simmer burner is in the back, where it should be!

Repair & longevity rates for the Frigidaire seem to be very good. This range is actually carried in a local appliance place that's known for only carrying higher end appliances - and the Frigidaire oven.

Food for thought!
