That is in the cheap ''looks, not cooks'' category. If you want something that has functionality, your budget will need to increase.

Just check out some outlet and dealers who deal with discontinued and floor models.

I'm looking at a 36" Bertazzoni range for $3,000, an American Range 36" for $2900, and a 36" 5 burner Bertazzoni for $2400 right now from my distributor's latest notice. These are brand new. If things are dented or have any cosmetic damages, the prices are usually even less. I know I've seen less from my Ferguson distributor but the ranges go super fast, i.e. same day or within a few days so I don't remember prices.

These are both good looking and cook well especially the American Range. I haven't checked up on the Wolf or Viking 36 range price as it involves searching through tons of email. I think they will be at just about the high end of your range.

Blue Star is the only one that would be outside of your price range.

$2500-3500 is not a cheap budget.

Recs for 36" gas range or induction cooktop w/ 1 oven? on budget
Q

Thank you both so much for your suggestions. I am feeling like I am really leaning toward induction, but I am disappointed as I just read rave reviews on Elux ovens, but awful reviews on their cooktops, and vice versa for Bosch. If I could install a Elux oven under the Bosch cooktop I think Id be very happy, but Im not sure if that can be done. I don't want anyone voiding my warranties because we mixed appliance brands. I could possibly put my oven in my island? Glad to see I have an option to get a very professional gas range if I go that route. I'm not sure yet what the discrepancy is regarding the size of the hood. Would a 20" pass inspection and adequately remove grease & odors or not? If it would, don't know why I'd need bigger? But if it wouldn't, think I better look for more affordable range, if I go that route. What type of hood would I need for an induction cooktop? I believe the requirements are lower? Induction sounds like it would fit me best, especially since I've never used gas I think maybe I just don't know what I'm missing. But I have to figure out how to get a decent oven in an acceptable space.

FWIW, I have a Wolf AG at home and a DCS AG at our vacation home, both installed in the past two years, and I prefer the Wolf. DCS makes a very nice, solid product but I prefer the open burner flame pattern on the Wolf and seem to have better heat/flame control when I'm cooking on the Wolf because of the burner design. That being said, DCS may have a slightly lower simmer and the stainless top is IMO slightly easier to keep clean. The Wolf's black enameled steel top takes more polishing in order to keep it looking pristine. I also like Wolf's heaver grates. The ovens and broilers seem to perform comparably. You should find dealers who have these models hooked up to gas lines so that you can compare burners/flame patterns, etc., for yourself. Bluestar also has an awesome open burner flame pattern and more btu's but their service is iffy in parts of the US, including mine. DCS and Wolf both seem to offer widespread excellent customer service. I bought my 30" DCS AG for around $3300. Wolf was a bit more but worth it IMO for the open burners. The front panel on my DCS seems to get hotter than the Wolf when the oven's in use.

kooopons: BlueStar made a bunch of design changes for the currently shipping ranges (RCS V2, RNB V2, and Platinum) that addressed the problems found on some earlier models. These changes include modifications (or completely new design) of: oven door, oven floor, oven walls, convection fan blade, burner mounting rails, igniters, and visible sheet metal parts. They also moved to a new factory in Blandon, PA about a year ago with a bunch of new employees. Notice the lack of BlueStar complaints on GardenWeb in the last year or so.

faftris, thanks for that info. We ended up going with a slightly different but similar model with convection - Whirlpool WFG540H0ES. It has the same cleaning feature, so wonder if it may have the same lack of insulation. We do have a 15 month old on the move at home, so may be something we have to be careful of. I guess I'll provide an update since we ended up purchasing last night. On the recommendation of our local appliance store and basing off brands they service, They do Frigidaire, GE, Whirlpool, LG and Samsung. We went through each item individually with them to get their best recommendation (regardless of brand) to fit our budget, and turned out we ended up with all Whirlpool for right about $3000. Had we gone to $3500 or a bit over, there was an LG range and micro that they would have recommended over the Whirlpool. They also price matched the best deals we could find on the items and then took an extra 5% off, SWEET! Here's what we ended up with, in case it helps anyone else... Fridge - Whirlpool WRF736SDAM Range - Whirlpool WFG540H0ES Micro - Whirlpool WMH32519FS Dishwasher - Whirlpool WDT780SAEM

Or buy a vintage stove!

Just remember, it's the cook who makes the stove, not vice versa! One of the best meals I've ever eaten was prepared in a Shropshire kitchen on a 24" gas stove, with a laundry rack above it - fabulous meal. It made a cheap apt range look upscale!
