KitchenAid range 36" dual fuel
Hi,
Building a home and picked this oven. Now with shortages we had to reconsider the KitchenAid fridge - and chose Bosch now ...and we are offered the floor model 36" dual fuel range- looking for more info now I'm not finding over the moon reviews I was hoping for.
I don't know why digging through the internet and old posts on here I cannot find someone documenting this oven and how to use the phone app....So if you own this oven I would love to know a few things.
I know there is no timer. But the app is supposed to be the timer. Does the phone chime when timer is up? Is it easy to use ? What else do you use the app for ?
Pre heating - I watched a video -Does the knob shine a light that shows preheating verse ready?
Are you happy with this product ?
Is there anything else I should know before I buy this ?

last yearWe did, I like it so far only been using it like 3 weeks. Good burners - easy to light and the convection dual fuel is nice. The timer in the app is dumb we just got a regular counter top timer. Which for a oven that cost as much as it did - seems strange. The phone barely rings when the timer goes off and it only rings one time. We have used the app to turn the oven on a few times but notice that if you use the oven normally and then flip the dial to wifi for the next time you might want to use it- it will turn the oven back on because in the app it says: stay on- even tho you didn’t start a new cycle. I don’t know if that was a fluke ? But we had the oven back on yesterday because I turned it to wifi when we were done using it.
Also when I did try to use the timer for multiple cooks- like cookies - in and out of the oven. The app couldn’t start the timer over and it just didn’t work the second time - which I didn’t realize until like 8 minutes in. So the app is meh. But it will turn the oven on…
The oven is pretty.

KitchenAid SS Dual Fuel Double Oven Freestanding Range reviews???
Comments (10)I am also thinking of buying a 36" KA dual fuel with a Griddle. Good reviews on CR magazine but really bad reviews on Gardenweb but mostly from people that don't own one. It would be nice ot hear from the owners. Also what kind of cooking you do. I think that makes a big difference. Most of the bad reviews come from people that prefer the high heat of an open burner. Do you use a WOK on the range?...See MoreELECTROLUX ICON FREESTANDING DUAL-FUEL RANGE or KITCHEN AID
Comments (6)Hi AreBe, fellow Torontonian here! I have a dual fuel Kitchen Aid range – probably the predecessor to yours – it has four 15,000 BTU burners. Mine is almost 12 years old, so I don’t know if it will help you or not, but I have had zero problems with it. Oven temperature is true, although I don’t always get evenly baked cookies if I am doing more than 2 sheets at a time. Then again, I don’t make cookies often so maybe it’s me and not the oven. Coincidentally, my neighbour has exactly the same range as me and she has not had problems with hers either. I am looking to start my kitchen reno this fall and have been agonizing about whether to keep the Kitchen Aid or go with induction. It was an upgrade from what I had previously and has really served me well....See MoreAmerican Range 36inch Gas or Miele 36inch dual fuel?

last yearWow, that is a gorgeous range! I chose the KA 36” dual fuel when we built 11 years ago. It seems very different now…we have a digital display for the electric oven (with a timer! 😂 and convection.) The cooktop is gas, with an electric griddle in the middle. We’ve never had a service call (knocking on everything furiously so as to not jinx myself, lol!)
Not as pretty as yours, but back in the day….😂

last yearlast modified: last yearWe have the all gas KA 36" Looks exactly the same as the range shown. We did not know it was a Smart range until it came. It is quite quirky, and if the power goes off and on, we have to reset the WiFi.
We do not use the phone app, and would never turn the oven on when away from the house. What we did do is purchase an Alexa Echo Show that works with the app. It is plenty loud enough, and you can set multiple timers. I like it more than I thought I would.😉 I also enjoy the large clock display, the weather warnings, the photos, etc.
If the timer doesn't work, I have this as a back-up! 🤣
