Gas ranges, what’s the plan
We bought a place with an electric oven/stove, and would love to upgrade to a 30” gas range/oven combo. We have the gas line, but from that point I’m lost. I know we will need a hood vent installed that will move the right cfm for the range, but trying to shop for brands with both the range and hood vent are proving...interesting.
Every answer online seems to think every brand is garbage, and buying a $3000+ cafe range at minimum is the only way to go (under $2k would be more ideal).
1. Does anyone have any actual experience with specific brands or bodega with regards to reliability, usability, etc? Is this a case of “you get what you pay for” or is there a lot of features added just to drive up price? I really dgaf about Bluetooth connectivity, smart appliances, griddles, etc. I just want something that will work without trouble once we install it. I am also looking for dual fuel if possible (electric oven), which seems to be hit or miss when shopping.
2. Has anyone bought a used gas range (ex. Bluestar, Wolf) which seem to go for the same price as a newer consumer level model, but don’t have the warranty associated?
3. What’s the deal with hood ranges? Name brand matter as much or is it less concerning as it is a basic fan and light setup?
