Does it have rotisserie and rear burner for same? Make sure it is complete, you know it's propane and not natural gas? If you can live w/that seems like a great deal. I wouldn't go high-end myself for propane if natural gas available. I've got a PGS k40 piped in, 5 years old, but they don't support their products very well - options/accessories to upgrade over time also disappeared over time.

I am building a house and went with the thermy package...just couldnt pass up that deal. I read a bunch before picking and I hope I luck out and get well behaved appliances lol. I havent had them installed yet so cant give you any more info. I got the pro grand steam oven and the built in 42 fridge. Paid the small fee for the upgrade to the best dishwasher and got the free 54" built in style vent and remote mount 1000cfm blower.

We've had both -- lighting and power line break in past 3 years. O joy. After the lightning a whole house surge protector was installed in the fuse box. I still lost 9 appliances when the power line broke. The lightning strike only zapped the phones and one outlet though it dug itself a 20 foot trench outside and scorched a wall where it hit the house. Also fried the flatscreen. We had insurance coverage for both. They paid to repair first, or replace if not possible. They priced everything and gave us an allowance. If the ovens have been repaired but still do not work, I'd suggest contacting the insurance company. None of the appliances with electronic components seem to be made to withstand this kind of thing. When there are power outages there are repairs my appliance guys have said. The surge protector may or may not have helped when the power line burst. There was no real pattern. The microwave was blown out but the oven over it (miele) was not. The refrigerator was blown out but the dw and cooktop and hood were fine. We lost all our phones and the air tub motor and more. The only explanation I get is that electricity in these situations is very unpredictable. Other suggestion is to read your policy very carefully before you deal with them -- presentation can make a big difference, as can photo documentation.

Wow! @opaone…so, people who enjoy cooking only buy Bluestar? The fact that I have a Thermador rangetop means I don’t enjoy cooking? Or, perhaps I just didn’t want to deal with open burners. What about people who love to cook, but can’t afford a high end appliance of any kind? Sheesh. And, btw…KitchenAid isnt even in the same ballpark as Thermador. I agree with @Shannon_WI. Built in microwave ovens are way more money than you need to spend. As Shannon suggested, we bought a large countertop GE mw, and put it on a shelf, next to the fridge. We didn’t order the ”built in” trim, and saved $250. We love our Bosch 800 dishwasher. Almost 6 years, not one issue, cleans really well, and is quiet. I think (?) Bosch makes Thermador dishwashers, but I wouldnt lay out more $ to get the Thermador name. While I don’t have a stove/range, our Themador rangetop…also almost 6yo, has served us well, with no issues. The thick black enamel top is a breeze to clean. Despite not being a Bluestar, it’s turned out some mighty tasty dishes. Going from a 4 burner 30” to a 6 burner 36”, has greatly improved the convenience of cooking. We have Miele double ovens…one is a combi steam, which I wouldn’t give up for anything. They reach pre-heat temps in about 90 seconds, maintain an even temperature, and the cooling fan is so quiet, I can’t even tell when it’s on. As for fridges…I wouldn’t get anything other than a Sub Zero. Best fridge on the market, with the best insulation, and customer service is tops. This is our second SZ. The first was still going strong at 25yo, when we sold our former home. The 42” FD SZ we have now, again, almost 6 years old, has not had one problem. Food stays incredibly fresh for long periods. Well worth the extra $$. Good luck with whatever you choose!
