The Verona for $3.5k or the Capital for $1.6K? The large oven in the Verona is 2.4 cu ft. I think too small to be really usefull. Both have 5 burners. Capital the 25k btu wok burner while Verona has a 16k btu power burner. I think the only real advantage to the Verona is more cooktop space to maneuver mulitiple wide pots. I would inspect the Capital and short of major dings or scratches buy it. And buy a Breville XL Smart oven .8 cu ft or Cadco Half Oven 1.75 if you really want that secondary small oven.You get the best of both worlds;a large gas oven and a small electric oven Your current hood is 600cfm? I think that is plenty for the Precision.

Are you sure the downdraft you're considering will really work behind a range? Most telescoping downdrafts only work with cooktops. The only telecscoping downdraft I'm aware of that works with a range is Dacor and it only works with their range. In any case, a downdraft is most likely not going to be adequate with the ranges you're considering. You really need to go with an island hood and not mount it too high - there are some hoods that are less obtrusive than others. Can you take the range out of the island and put it on a wall? That's generally a better location an will give you better venting options.

After owning a capital Precision 60" gas self cleaning range since 2008, I would say, AVOID CAPITAL. I was the biggest capital fan because I thought they had the best and most innovative product. Upon delivery and installation, we were burning everything we put inside one of the ovens. We went back and forth with Capital for months, they sent out repair people who swore there was nothing wrong with the oven. We were even blamed for not letting the oven warm up for enough time before we put our food in. We had to threaten them with legal action before they finally had a proper technician fix our range. As the years progressed, our issues continued. The rotiserrie went out. They sent the parts and I fixed the motor myself. Our grill always heats only the left side. I had a gas leak inside the range and Capital did not respond to my requests for help. I had to get Trevor from Eurostoves involved and then they responded. The absolute worst is they offered to fix my grill and wok burner (useless) for free as long as I paid for shipping both ways. A few days later, they sent an email and said, they were wrong when they told me they would fix it for free and would charge me for the repairs. I AM DONE WITH CAPITAL.

Hi- About to do a kitchen renovation and after reading a blinding number of range reviews across all brands, we are seriously considering the 36" Capital Precision Natural Gas range manual clean. Hoping to find some folks that have had the range for a while that can offer some feedback.
