Please Tell Me About The FiveStar 48' Range
Comments (7)Okay, not apples to apples, but I'll share what I saw at a local "closeout/scratch and dent/over-run store" on a 30" range. I've no experience actually using the unit, so take what I say with the proper grain of salt. The unit I saw was open burners@ 15,000 btu, no convection, 120v. Remember, this is a closeout store. Knobs were not secure, loose, plastic, ready to fall off. Backguard attached with sheetmetal screws, evident, 3/4 of the screw facing front. Bottom drawer a bit finicky. Have to pull up just right to close easily. No drip pan. Dis-assembly of the top fairly simple, but lots of nooks and cranies that would be a pain to access. On the other hand, lack of electronics means if I can't fix it, a buddy of mine that does appliance repair can. For 900.00 it's attractive. I really can't afford the close to 4,000.00 my ideal Bluestar would cost. I could see it as a work in progress. I could adapt knobs, re-do the backguard, re-engineer the latch of the bottom drawer. Can not add a drip pan under the top burners. Could minimize cleaning with creative tinfoil application. My opinion, worth exactly what you payed for it, is a question. How much are you willing to compromise? At least that's the question I ask. Other companies make products that are more tactily rewarding, better engineered, user friendly, ergonomic, etc. Will they cook food any better? I'm guessing that's still up to the cook. Sorry, no answers here. Mark...See MorePlease show me your drawers under your 48' rangetop & gas line Q
Comments (8)My cooktop is only 36", but the range hood is 48" and the two pot storage drawers are also 48". I don't find them too large at all. To support the weight of heavy pots, they have heavy duty full extension glides, but they still work perfectly after nearly five years of constant use. I can pull them out with one pinky hooked in one handle. They glide closed with a bump of the knee. It's a great arrangement, and one of the smartest things I did in this kitchen....See MorePlease show me your decorative cooktop backsplash!

Comments (27)Not under a cooktop but the same idea- middle drawer of a 30" frameless cabinet. These are not adjustable, (mine and predate when I could do that easily) Spacing is 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 clear between and dividers are 4-1/4" (4-1/2" max) high to allow lids and (11") fry pans to tilt enough to clear and saucepans to sit front to back. It also allows much easier access than full height dividers. Drawer box sides should be full height if at all possible. Larger fry pans, square sided sauteuse, woks, etc. get stored elsewhere. Usually with tray dividers in base cabinet though the first two can work in the top drawer of a frameless caibnet. (I hate stacking) Nowadays I spec adjustable in most brands, the one brand that I can't do that with we put them in with pocket hole screws and fit them to the clients actual stuff....See More

8 years agoMine is a 36" cooktop and a 42" hood. If I didn't need the upper cabinet space, I would've gone bigger on the hood but it was just too much of a waste of space for me to use those extra inches on the hood.
