Looks professional, burners work great
We always get compliments on this oven. Looks great. We did a full kitchen remodel, and we wanted an oven that would anchor the space, but not cost $10,000. After 2 years, we are noticing issues with oven temperature. Off 25 degrees at lower temperatures, but off by almost 100 degrees at higher temperatures. I am starting the warranty process today. I will update this review (if possible) to let y’all know how it is going. Broil function works great.

      Beautiful without Bells and Whistles
      I am so happy with the purchase of this range. It's gorgeous. But more than that, it has all the basic functional features without all the extra electronic gadgets like timers, etc. Just a work horse range that I can use to cook. I love that the knobs are not on top but below a stainless steel ridge (it prevents stuff from getting to them during cooking when things are spurting or spraying). The six burners allow me to have multiple things on the stove top and its spacious enough where I can fit all full-size pans and pots on the range top without crowding the space.It's perfect.

        Beautiful, great features, performs as advertised
        I bought this range a few months ago, it was recently installed for my kitchen remodel. This range is great, beautiful, performs as a professional range, easy clean up, manufacturer specifications and performance expectations are spot on.

          Perfect for us!
          We purchased this product a few weeks ago. We got to propane version. It was easy to set up, and very easy to use. Our whole family has enjoyed cooking with our 36" Range. Its beautiful inside and out. I do agree with other reviews about the oven racks being a bit tough to slide in and out, but it just took a little to get used to.

            Love it (with a few exceptions)
            We love how the Range looks in our new kitchen! The six burners are useful and we also like the large burner and simmer options. We have had problems with starting/lighting the burners. Sometimes they just click and won’t light. Sometimes they light and then start clicking when a pan is placed on the burner. Sometimes when you’re using one burner the other burners start clicking. The oven racks don’t slide very well but we have gotten accustomed to that.

              Great power!
              So happy with my stove and hood, I didn’t know the kucht brand when I was searching for a nice for ever stove and I’m so happy I got it, the two simmer burners are the best and the big front burner it’s a must, I can use all my pots, any size! And what about the look?!?!? Love it!!!

                Loving my range
                I love this range, from the moment it was deleivered into my home. Well built and beautiful. Made my first meal on it as soon as it was hooked up. Homemade gnocchi with a marinara sauce and it came out fantastic.

                  Great temperature control and customer service
                  We had the range installed in our new professional kitchen. The oven and cook top have been great to cook on/in. Temperature control is excellent and it is very easy to clean.

                    Great range and comparable to big names
                    Like everyone else I wanted a Wolf and have had several but wasn't interested in paying $6-9k just to have a Subzero knock off with red knobs. This range arrived within 10 days of ordering, well packed and the delivery driver helped me get it up the front steps and staged in the kitchen. There was minor issue with install as my counters are at 37" and with legs fully extended the range was still not flush, so I added oak runners attached to the floor under legs and worked perfectly . I have had NO issues with clicking burners because the polarity on my outlet is correct, if your ignition is clicking you need to wire your outlets correctly. The burners, cooking surface and grates are just as nice as my old Wolf as well as lighter and easier to clean, not sure why a few people can't figure out how to clean there's. The oven and broiler heat up fast and hot and smelled a bit funky at first, but ... IF YOU READ THE MANUAL... thatz why they tell you to turn it on High for 30 minutes to condition it and EXPECT IT TO SMELL FUNNY .... Having the 18000 burner is amazing for boiling water for pasta, potatoes etc and will be great for a wok or griddle. The oven is huge, racks are same and operate like a Wolf or Viking or any other commercial style range. Only had it a month so keeping my fingers crossed it is built to last and not just look good out the box, so I will update if I have problems ... That being said if you are looking for a quality range a price that will leave room for some new countertops or other needs this is it ... The bad reviews I read were older so either they resolved their manufacturing issues or its proof positive that you can't fix stupid ... Enjoy!!!

                      Love this Range!!!
                      Just bought this range after a long and extensive search for well built range that was not going to break the bank and had great reviews not only about the product but the company that builds the product and definitely a center piece in the kitchen when it complete!!!

                        Bought this range after lots of research. I went into the local stores and checked out Viking, Wolf along with the NXR from Costco and of course all the big brand (kenmore, GE, kitchen aide) commercial ranges. I used Consumer Reports as a resource as well, which actually turned me on to this range and. It was a big risk, buying this sight unseen... It sat in storage from last June until December when the unit was installed, I was nervous. BUT, after over a month of usage I think I made a good decision. Pros: Looks great - It's definitely the focal point of the kitchen! Built well - Appears to be of good construction and passes the feel test. Time will tell, but so far so good. No Eletronics - This was a biggie for me. I didn't want any digital displays on the front of the range, no control panels to go bad in 5yrs. Everything is mechanical and easy to clean/maintain. Cons: Piezo/Ticking sound on some burners - When I light some burners the piezo keeps ticking trying to light, even though it's lit. I've read about this elsewhere prior to purchasing and remember it being an easy fix. Will get to that later as it's not a big deal right now. Convection Fan - Kind of weak, but gets the job done. I like using convection in all oven applications, more even heat. It runs, very lightly, but I'm sure it helps. Oven Racks - Sticky and hard to slide out evenly. I'm thinking this is primarily due to the width of the range. The wider dimension makes it harder to slide out without binding. But, this is probably the most frustrating thing about this range thus far. Electrical Plug in - back of range has about 6" at bottom of the range to accommodate the electrical outlet when the range is plugged in. This allows you to push the range all the way to the wall. I didn't know this and electrician wired outlet at standard height... I used an appliance extension cord, low profile, to help out so you may need one of those to get this thing flush to the wall. Not made in US - This sucked for me but I tried like heck to buy US first on all appliances. I failed miserably... :( But, I had a budget and this fit into that budget. Overall, a good purchase and I would recommend to anyone. I get the commercial functionality, look and feel for over a 1/3rd of the price! Similar Viking Range went for well north of $9k. I managed to do my whole kitchen for that and achieve the same results. I wrestled with getting a griddle in lieu of the middle burners, glad I didn't get the griddle. My mom has one and she doesn't use it that often and I prefer having additional burners when I'm really trying to get a meal done. Delivery was a non issue for me. Showed up in approx 2wks and was dropped at my builders storage unit as promised and in great shape. If you're on the fence and looking to save some $$$$ I'd recommend. If you need the gadgetry of digital displays and/or big name or red knobs and have the money then by all means look at the big dogs, but think of what you could do with that extra $$ down the road! :)

                          I Love having 6 burners. I can cook a large meal and not run out of space on the cooktop. The oven cooks wonderful but I'm disappointed that I can't fit 2 cookie sheets on a rack. The oven comes with 2 racks a 3rd would have been nice. The broiler works great. All in all its a fantastic stove and worth the money.

                            Commercial grade
                            I researched many ranges, and read numerous reviews before making my purchase. I have to say that I am very pleased with my choice! I have a large family that I cook for, so the large 6 burner stove top, and the large oven is a must have. One issue that I had with my old stove is that I could never place a large pot on the back burner, and a large pot / pan on the front. This range is definitely commercial grade with plenty of room!

                                Not that we bought it for it's looks, but the oven looks much better in real life than in the online photo. The gas jets run very smoothly, though when installing the smaller front burner caps you need to line the notches up: one fits on the right, one fits on the left. If your gas flame is uneven this is likely the reason. Oven is excellent as well.

                                I spent about 6 months reviewing all kinds of gas ranges and finally decided on this. A little hesitant at first because it wasn't a major name but after seeing it on Consumer's Reports decided to go for it. Plus, it's a lot less expensive than other models we were considering. A bonus for my husband was that there aren't crazy electrical components to go out...just simple knobs. We've used it for about 10 days now and love it. It looks great in our new kitchen and so far couldn't be happier.

                                Great range
                                We bought a new home with a new range installed. We are still getting used to having a gas range, but so far so good. The oven heats very quickly. One missing feature is an audible alert that it has reached temperature. The 36" top is large enough to cook large meals for guests and family.

                                  I miss my cheap oven
                                  At first, I realized I missed ANY buttons: clock, the pre-heat beeping, the drawer at the bottom that held all the sheet pans. Then, I realized I couldn't get the simmer I needed without almost extinguishing the gas flame completely. The lowest low still gives a pretty aggressive boil. Then the oven started turning on by itself. Yes, it turns it off. Tried to fix with a small tool to adjust and were told we voided the warranty. Beware!

                                    I’ve had my unit for ~2 years now and it’s been a very reliable and delightful range/oven. The price allowed me to get the kind of professional range I wanted without having to pay an absurd amount. Super solid!

                                      We had searched a long time when we were renovating our kitchen and other areas of our home for a gas range. We converted to gas for cooking and our water heater. When we found KUCHT, we were sold! Craftsmanship, quality and durability was what we wanted! We found it! Absolutely love this gas range!!

                                          Gas oven doesn't regulate temperature well
                                          After the warranty expired, the gas oven stopped regulating reliably. The knobs are turning to junk. Have to turn on burner to get it to relight the oven now and then. The oven racks don't slide very well. Not happy with it, don't recommend.

                                                    I bought this a few months ago, but just had it installed. We mostly love it, except the ignitor is wacky... sometimes it stays on, sometimes it works right but starts clicking when you put a pot on the burner, sometimes it's fine.
