Electrolux Icon reviews for 36' gas 6 burner rangetop
Comments (13)We purchased this Electrolux Range and it arrived with the racks not properly welded and they collapsed! We have had the oven repaired >10 times in the first three years. We had a gas leak from a burned out component. Finally we tried to run the self clean and this "fried" the electronics and we could no longer open the oven door. We did not receive adequate support Electrolux ICON. We even called corporate headquarters in the USA and Sweden and the calls were NEVER returned. The exterior of this product with the stainless steel looks great., but the interior components did not hold up! This is the worst appliance we have ever purchased and it is actually dangerous....See More36" 6 burner gas range - Wolf or BlueStar?
Comments (12)Have you ruled out the Culinarian for some reason? I've never cooked on either the BS or the Wolf, but after reading so much here and in Appliances and and experiencing the open burners on my CC rangetop, I would definitely recommend BS for what I consider to be better burners with more even heat. As a side note, please consider asking your DH to back off again. You should not be forced to do anything. Choosing a range needs to be a well-thought out decision, not made because someone is throwing a tantrum. You're spending a lot of money and IMHO need to get it right. So what if the decision doesn't get made until your deadline for ordering to receive it in time for install? It's not like the unmade decision sits in the middle of your house screaming at everyone who walks by that it needs attention. My advice is to sit and let the decision percolate in your brain, especially if this is how you normally operate. Don't talk to him about it anymore. Meditate on it in silence for a while without his input. Is DH prepared to store a ginormous box/crate in the garage if you order so early? (lecture over.). :)...See More6 burner pro rangetop vs 4 burner with grill
Comments (24)Well, arbitrary decisions have to be made. There is real competition at all price points, however, in order to survive in the marketplace all products need to be reasonably well made. You have infinite options- Stainless steel (hard to clean) or porcelain enamel (chips)? And the different suppliers differentiate by dong their 'thing': Wolf, red knobs and stacked burners, Thermadore - star shaped burners; Kitchen Aid, not a Ferrari but nothing to sneeze at and well made. Bosch, Etlectrolux, GE, Jenn Air, they are all fine. Natural gas cook tops are based on 100 year old technology. (not entirely true but kind of true.) You will be fine. Do not buy garbage. Get something that will not be out of style tomorrow. Not a sin to save money and buying a brand new scratch and dent etc....See More8 Burner Rangetop (vs 6+Other)...
Comments (14)We had one of the first 7 series Viking's out with the griddle and it was awful. You would cook 4 pancakes in the front and the first one in the back wasn't ready to be flipped over. We went through four units before we gave up and had it replaced with a 6 burner unit. While we were out the 800 bucks for the delta in cost, we were much more happy this way. An Update: After a LOT of back and forth and uncertainty and looking and trying them out, we are going to go forward with a wolf 6 burner + grill. In our last home the grill was 8 feet from the kitchen. In this one you have to go through a bedroom and down stairs to get to it. So unless I'm doing something pretty darn fancy, I'm not likely going to be using the grill (which is pretty sad because I love that grill). We really want the 48" for comfort of two folk cooking together, which we do a lot. We can't bring ourselves to do Viking again, and they still don't have a wok ring for their 7 series after multiple years (and the aftermarket "works with everything" don't work with it). We seriously considered bluestar and just can't bring ourselves to do the open burner thing. I'm sure it is wonderful, but it's just too industrial for the kitchen we're putting together. Because of the above we are going with the Wolf 6 burner + Grill. We'll spring for a grate with the integrated wok ring in it. I'm not 100% certain just how often we'll use the grill, but I know we'll use it more than the griddle. It's also the same height as the other grates, so you can easily move from one burner to the next. I'm not 100% sure we're making the right decision, but we're making the best decision with what we know! Now to figure out: is a 48" hood "enough" or do we need to give up cabinet space for a 54" hood. And is the 9" low profile Best by Braun hood really just as "good" as the 18" one, if they both have an external 1200 CFS blower....See MorePeke (Patti)
