Top 3 High-End Ranges
A comparison and our selection!
There’s no worse feeling than having your oven die right before Christmas! Yup, it happened to us just 2 days before Christmas.
The oven we had came with the house and although looked great, a Thor oven is not a Viking trust me. It had problem after problem. After several repair calls and trying to get the ignitor for the oven…we gave up on trying to fix it and decided to go shopping for a new range.
When it comes to high-end kitchens, having a top-quality gas range is essential for cooking and entertaining. Especially when you are a lover of testing recipes! There are many brands and models to choose from which can make it a bit intimidating. It can be confusing out there when you read about Wolf vs Jenn Air but in here I think I got you covered.
There are three popular brands we always find ourselves going to when it becomes all about high-end ranges. WOLF, Viking, and Jenn Air. Here, we will review 36" 6-burner gas ranges from these three brands to help you choose the right one for your kitchen. Or at least tell you about our experience.
WOLF
WOLF has a reputation for producing high-quality, commercial-grade kitchen appliances, and their 36" 6-burner gas range is no exception. This range is designed with precise temperature control in mind, thanks to its Dual-Stacked Burners that offer up to 22,000 BTUs of heat. It also can feature a ceramic infrared griddle for even cooking and a range of cookware compatibility. The WOLF range is equipped with heavy-duty control knobs, a high-back splash, and a large oven capacity, making it ideal for serious home chefs. The beautiful red knobs can capture the eyes of your visitor.
HS Feedback: Beautiful, but the oven door might take you to the chiropractor since it's the heaviest door compared to other brands.
Jenn-Air
JennAir is a luxury appliance brand that offers a range of high-end kitchen appliances, including their 36" 6-burner gas range. This range features a combination of powerful burners and precise temperature controls, making it a great choice for serious home chefs. It also includes a large oven capacity and a built-in temperature probe, as well as a range of features such as a griddle and a high-heat burner for searing. The JennAir range is designed with elegant, modern styling and is available in a range of finishes, making it a great choice for those who want a high-end kitchen that is both functional and stylish.
HS Feedback: The knob backlight feature is key to know when you left the stove on. Haven’t you experienced that moment where you doubt if you left your stove on? Well, you can take a look at the range and check on the knob backlight or just check the app. It is also affordable; the gold touch on the knobs elevates the look. The oven is a bit smaller than others but the even cook performance goes beyond the other 2 models compared here. Although not the big name recognition as the others, our Mother who was shopping with us said JennAir was THE big brand back in the day. When you went into a home with a JennAir back then, you knew they were serious cooks.
VIKING
Viking is another well-known brand that produces high-end kitchen appliances, including their 36" 6-burner gas range. This range features a combination of high-heat and low-heat burners for precise temperature control, as well as an in-oven broiler for added cooking versatility. It also includes a spacious oven with a built-in temperature probe, making it easy to monitor the temperature of your food while it cooks. The Viking range is known for its durability and reliability, making it a top choice for many home chefs.
HS Feedback: It's a well trusted name, but looks like any other range. When we asked the salesperson if we were really just buying a name, he smiled and didn’t comment much. Based on our research Viking ranges have a 43% service call.
If you did not caught it, we decided on Jenn-Air. Its look and the variation on BTU by burner and Wi-Fi enable pre-heating features makes it perfect for our range needs.
WOLF, Viking, and JennAir all offer excellent 36" 6-burner gas ranges that are ideal for serious home chefs. Each brand has its own unique features and benefits, so it is important to consider your cooking needs and preferences when choosing the right range for your kitchen. Whether you prefer precise temperature control, a spacious oven, or elegant styling, there is sure to be a gas range from one of these brands that will meet your needs.
