Range Suggestions
We are thinking of renovating our kitchen and want suggestions on ranges. We cook many evenings and will spend a bit. Our only spec is it must be 30″ as the kitchen is not that big. We have heard viking are good but break often and GE monogram are nice. Any tips out there?

I just moved here 3 weeks ago and took with me my 1 year old 30″ dual fuel viking. It is the best range I have ever owned, and I cook professionally.
I hate our GE Profile slide in. The burners are placed too close together to fit several pans at the same time. The broiler drives me crazy, and not in a good way!!
we love our wolf range and the red knobs. it’s been a dream.
I second the Jenn-Air dual fuel. The one I have is also a double-oven, with the upper portion being perfect for baking/broiling etc. The lower oven is larger, and is either electric or convection. Five gas burners. I’ve had it for two years, which is fairly new, but no complaints.
I went with a GE Profile hood because I wanted a low profile one and I selected the quietest one in that style.
Good luck!

We have a Jenn-Air dual fuel (gas burners on top + electric convention oven) slide-in stove. It’s 10 years old, looks good, works great and has been 100% reliable.
The hood I chose was “Best by Braun” with a separate extractor fan (“blower”) on the roof (instead of internal, which I’ve found is loud and useless). The extractor fan is 1000 CFM. http://www.bestbybroan.com/display/router.asp?BestProductID=3698
There’s other choices here:

I’m going on about this because it actually took me way longer to choose a hood than a range, for some reason.
I love our Electrolux. I have to see the actual model number, but its way more elegant than the flashy Viking S.U.V. type ranges. It works like a dream too. If I remember, I’ll give you the model number, but we bought it at PC Richards.
