Also be forewarned that 36" range ovens can have very long preheat times because of the enormous oven cavities, especially, it seems, on the all-gas models. I have a Wolf 36" all-gas range; its oven takes about 35 minutes to preheat to a stable temp and I don't think this is unusual for any brand's 36" gas range. If you go with dual-fuel, the electric oven may preheat more quickly - I am not sure on this. However, dual-fuel is even more pricey. Have you looked at DCS 30" ranges? I just bought one for our beach condo; it has a 5-burner top and large 30" oven cavity. I believe Capital makes a 5-burner 30" model as well.

The AG Jade range that we returned (did a buy-back), in addition to having a number of other issues, also had a loud cooling fan that came on when the oven reached a certain temp. It then didn't shut off until the oven had cooled down to a certain temp. There was no way to manually switch the fan off (or on). Hated that. We purposely got a quiet vent hood, and then ended up with a noisy range/oven. We replaced the Jade with a Wolf AG range. Much quieter fan, and it is equipped with a switch to turn the convection/cooling fan(s) on/off. HTH

I wanted to contribute my experience- we got the capital culinarian all gas 48" w/ the griddle (so we have 6 burners) within the past year and I have been using it for a few months. I LOVE LOVE LOVE our decision!! I too did a lot of research and did not read many negative reviews about it- and they are very well built, pretty, and simple design-wise (my husband is a contractor and thought they were most similar to the commercial ranges he has worked on, i.e. if something breaks it would be easy to fix). I probably wouldn't need 6 burners just for cooking- but it is nice to have. I also do a lot of canning/preserving, and do use 6 burners at the same time (simmer for warming lids, canning pot, pot for extra hot water, pot w/ stuff to be canned, pot w/ syrup for the stuff to be canned, one pot w/ dinner cooking). My husband loves the griddle- very easy to make breakfasts, hot sandwiches, etc. You could always do 4 burners and a grill/griddle as an option if you don't can/need 6 burners. Also, I really enjoy the big oven on the 48" (not sure how this compares in size to the 36" since the 48" has a large and small oven and the 36" one large oven). It can fit 9x13" pans side by side, and cookie sheets. The roll out racks aren't as smooth as some of the other brands we looked at (we liked the thermador racks the best- very smooth) but they work pretty well. Also, I haven't had any problems w/ the baking heat/evenness, and our oven is gas (which I think is typically worse than electric ovens?). I haven't baked bread yet- but have done a lot of other foods (cookies, casseroles, etc.). So if it were me I would definitely do the 36" over the 30" :-) It sounds like you would use it w/ all the cooking that you do. If you have any questions about mine please let me know :-)

Judging from reports on this forum, none of those 3 you listed is reliable. And as mentioned above, when something goes wrong, there is no customer service. Whatever brand you buy, always check if there is someone locally who can service it. Do any of the appliance repair places near you service any of those brands? If your budget is constrained, please explain why you want a 36” range. Note that the oven will take longer to heat up and use more gas to do so. If you are set on the 36” width, the Bosch is a better bet. Also check GE or GE Cafe. I am sorry, but something has to give - either your budget needs to be bigger or you need to go to 30”. You will need a hood that is 36” wide over the 36” range, but preferably 42” wide. And the correctly sized ductwork to go with the 36-42” wide hood. Do you have that in your budget also? If you do not, it might be best to go with a 30” range.
