I've searched exhaustively, but can't seem to find much information on the Kitchenaid Pro ranges, such as the KDRS467 series. I've seen a few posts intimating that there were poor reviews on Gardenweb, but I can't seem to find them.

If you own one of these, what are your impressions? We want a 36" dual fuel range, and this seems to be a solid option. I've seen it in person, and it looks equal to the Dacor/DCS/Viking stuff. Most of the other brands are way out of price range in a dual fuel version.

Consumer Reports rated the product well, so is it frowned upon because it's a Kitchenaid, and not a Wolf or Capital? My only concern is that it might be typical mid-range components in commercial "clothing," but it does have high powered burners, equal to most of its competition.

Any reason not to buy one of these if you could save $2K-$3K? Is it sufficient for a couple of very good weekend cooks?

Thanks!

The burners are standard wide ring sealed burners. Yes they have 20k btu power burners and a 5k btu simmer burner but not very even heat. With Wolf you get nothing special burners but a fantastic oven.

If you are looking at entry level/less expensive pro style ranges why are you paying a premium for dual fuel?

Why not save the money and get all-gas?

Consumer reports rates a lot of crap well and good appliances poorly.

For example they rate a Ninja blender with plastic gears/sockets that rarely last two years of hard use 1 point below Vitamix which has a long long established record for durability.

They rate KA ranges high and Bluestar near the bottom.

Some crap Chinese grill called Blue Ember #1 and Weber Summit near the bottom.

I'm even now considering a separate gas cooktop and wall oven. Thoughts?
