While a good looking unit, range has multiple problems. First is that it does not occur with a back splash/guard and is DANGEROUS with out one. Problem is flames from back burners can reach your roadblock and cause damage at best and give somebody their cards at worse. Kitchenaid is aware of this and just wanting to make more money by making you buy the optional back splash/guard. Second, griddle is impossible to use without creating a mess and impossible to clean. Griddle will not occur out for cleaning and design allows fluids to leak into the range. Yes there is a drip/bump pan, but it allows oil and fluids to flow around it into the range. Also, cover for griddle must be mandatory, but guess what, Kitchenaid makes you buy the griddle cover as an option so they can get more money from you. If you ask me, its the old temptation and switch routine. Sell you a beautiful stove/range. Initiation cooking and you quickly realize that to use the range you have to spend another $1,000 to use it safely. I would not recommend buying this unit unless you preparation to pay extra for the back splash/guard and do not preparation on using the griddle. If you use the griddle, be prepare to create a hugh problem as all the cooking fluids and oil build up inside the range create a roach and give somebody their cards hazard.Also, anyone else that has purchased this unit, please write to alert patrons.

I’ve owned my Kitchenaid commercial array 2.5 years now. I have much to say about this array. Privileged than all, would I buy this array over again? No.Here’s what I don’t like:1. NOISE. It has a convection oven that you can’t turn off—in commission it without the convection fan grinding away is not an option. Oh the blast! I knocked out a wall between the family room and the kitchen all through a remodel (therefore the new array), and so we have to listen to this racket in BOTH place to stay when I’m using either of the two ovens. Hate it! Hate it! It’s such a relief when the food is done so that I can turn off the oven.2. Computerized penetrate (or no matter what you call the brain business that operates the array) quit working within the first 90 days. Just died. It was doubtless defective when we got it. Opportunely the unit was under warranty. Still, compelling off work to have a $6,000 oven repaired within the first 90 days of ownership—not cool.3. Lighting. I mean lighting the burners. If you do not have the round metal covers that sit over the gas holes just so in place, the burner won’t light when you turn the handle. It clicks and clicks and clicks but you get no flame. So you change and change and change (you have six burners to change, dredge up) trying to get them in the right place. Irritating. I’ve come to hate cleaning the oven top since I know that I’ll have to dissipate so much time adjusting the dang gas covers to get my oven working over again.4. The griddle. Wanted a griddle for years since I have four kids to make pancakes for in the morning, so I approved the develop with the griddle. But the griddle is electric and it takes a full 20 minutes to heat up. Want a instant something fried on the griddle? Forget it. Takes too long. I end up throwing a frying pan on the oven instead. I never use the griddle since of the terrible falter in heating it up. It’s no fun to clean either. In fact, the few era I have used it I washed-out far more time cleaning it than I did cooking on it. And it’s made of a shiny metal that scratches, so it doesn’t take long to look beat up.5. For all the space this unit takes up, it must have a small warming oven. I had a warming oven in the low-cost GE dual oven I had before I remodeled. The total oven was less important than my Kitchenaid array but still they managed to work into the design a large warming oven. I sure miss that business.6. The kick plate at the underneath of this array has a large tray (or gap—hard to describe) which food falls into. You can see the dirt but you can’t reach your fingers in there to take out it. Now a kick plate is nearly at stump level and gravity is in surgical procedure here, so all the bits of food you drop while standing at the oven make their way down toward that kick plate. It never looks clean in this area, and there is not anything I can do about it.7. The area under the grates is reasonably deep, shiny black porcelain. EVERYTHING falls into this shiny black pit. It’s like a permanent trash pit. Therefore my oven top never looks clean. A flat oven top is easy to clean, just wipe, wipe, wipe. But since this is so bowl-shaped you have to vacuum first to get up all the dried food, and then you have to wipe. So most of the time my stovetop looks soil even though the rest of the kitchen looks clean. I just don’t have time or inclination to drag out the vacuum cleaner every night.8. Only one of these two ovens is self-cleaning. So, with $6,000 for all this convenience, I still have to get down on my hands and knees on a hard kitchen stump to spray the narrow interior with oven cleaner and wipe and wipe and dab down and dab down and turn for myself into a pretzel to get my oven clean. Irritating.What I like:9. The unit looks significant in my kitchen.10. The burner grates are gray cast iron. To clean them I austerely put them in the oven and run them through the auto-clean sequence. Dried oil and dirt turns to ash and I just wipe it away.11. Six burners are nice. You may not use them all at once, but you’ll always have sufficient clearance between large pots if you are cooking, say, four equipment at once.12. Meat probe. You set the internal temperature you desire and voila! Your meat comes out impeccably and the oven turns to warm the following your meat is cooked.13. The high level of BTUs earnings you can truly bring a large cooking pot to a rolling boil.14. Anything built of stainless steel is wanted in a busy kitchen.I paid too much for this item. If I ever get bitten by the remodeling bug, I will look at a different strain of oven. Sad. I always had the peak respect for Kitchenaid, but this array is a disappointment.
