Customer Reviews for KitchenAid Architect Series II 30 in. 4.1 cu. ft. Slide-In Gas Range with Self-Cleaning Convection Oven in Stainless Steel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We thoroughly love our new kitchen aid gas range. We recently had gas installed and changed from an electric range. We now have exact control of our heat on the burners and the oven. Tom Nelson

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] love the design but the grill is to difficult to keep clean..would love if someone can contact me about a black or replacement grill top thank you

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A 30" professional looking stove at an affordable price. I love the convection oven. The bake mode is great mode is great as well. Baked goods cook evenly. We just made some ginger bread man cookies and the all cooked even and no burned bottom.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not satisfied with the different size burners. Only one meets my every day needs. One is way too small of a flame and takes forever to get something to boil. The large simmer burner is not adjusted right and it makes all my cookware black. I like the looks of it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This range is fantastic. Extremely balanced cooking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our new stove. Its a powerhouse. We hv been cooking more now than we hv in the 19 years we hv bn married! Oven, convectional oven and warming tray gives you maximum benefits when preparing meals. Best product we have puchased! I would highly recommend this appliance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with my purchase. Although I haven't explored all the features, for everyday cooking, this is a superior product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven't been able to use all of the features yet, but love that I have a convection oven and warming drawer to give me more cooking flexibility. There were not many black slide in ranges on the market, so this one fit the bill for us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks good. Works excellent. A little getting used to controls in the front. Turned on a few times by accident, but used the "control lock" feature. Worked well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our investment in the KitchenAid Architect Series kitchen appliances, especially the gas range and oven, represents a tremendous upgrade over our previous kitchen appliances. Stylish and attractive, using a fraction of the energy (gas AND electric!) that the previous tools required. Furthermore, these products are so quiet it is difficult to know that they are actually running! Ultimately, in our house if Mom is happy - everyone is happy. Needless to say, Mom is ecstatic with her new kitchen, and loves the KitchenAid components!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The features are very good and the performance is great, it is both fast and precise, after enduring cooking with an expensive but underperforming electric Jenn-air cooktop for the past 10 years I once again look forward to cooking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish the stove top burners were definitely more powerful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best stove and oven combination I have ever used. Couldn't ask for more, it's easy to keep clean too! I just love it, worth every penny, and my husband is getting happily plump this holiday season with all the great meals I've been making on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really fine stove. There's plenty of flexibility on the range, and you always know where you've set the dial. I haven't used the bun warmer yet, but I'm glad it's there, and everything else works logically and efficiently. I am especially glad to have disposed of the electric stove I bought a year ago. A double-oven Maytga it was the worst appliance I ever purchased--impossible to read, and very temperamental in what pans you were allowed to use. I could never tell when it was on because it shut itself off and on all the time. It was incredibly frustrating, and I could not be happier to now have this perfect stove. The only I would add would be roll-out shelves on wheels.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Warming drawer didn't heat at all. Questionable quality. Main control board had to be replaced.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this range 2 months ago, and I am not happy with it. The oven ignition is so loud. I had a technician come out to see it and he said it is suppose to be like that and that there is nothing wrong with the range. In this day and age of quiet appliances, that should just not be! I also bought a KitchenAid refrigerator and a KitchenAid dishwasher. Both work great and are supper quiet. I can hear this range from the other end of the house! The range also makes the kitchen so hot. Great for the winter, but this will be awful in the summer. I wish I had bought a different range

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wish there was more than a one page chart of instructions on how to USE all the features. For the price-- twice the cost of a stand-alone model-- there should have been a small cookbook with samples of recipes using each of hte features. It is nice to be able to bake, and have all parts of the items cook at the same rate. Would have prefered something other than digital controls-- the panel is very sensitive-- nice, if you are pushing buttons on purpose, but it also responds if you lean against it while reaching overhead, etc.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the top grills. No need to lift pans from one burner to another just slide accross. I would prefer one small burner and two medium sized burner rather than the two small burners. The simmer burner is great and works well. I like the design of the area under the burners, one smooth continuous surface hwich makes it very easy to claen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For people who fry a lot, burners seem not to be aligned.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with this Kitchenaid product. I love the no slip cooking surface. The pans stay where I put them without sliding all over the stove. The cooktop cooking is what I wanted in a gas stove - when it's on it's on and when it's off it's off. I would recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been unable to find a way to set the oven temp in other than Celsius which is inconvenient when I have spent my whole life using fahrenheit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had Electric before, and our family recommended to go to gas, we are very happy with it, and would recommend to any one, one small item we would like to comment on the large burner from should be on the right side facing stove, the oven is very easy to operated, and the manual is easy to read, so we enjoy it very much, as we are good cooks, and we love to entertain, so this stove is pleasant to work with, and also a pleasure to show. Thank You, Ron laroche

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the appliance. I wish it had one other burner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the 15,000 BTU burner. I am heating water for tea in the teapot and using this burner most of the time. The 6000 BTU burners get used very little. I will use them next time I prepare a large meal. It's the 12,500 BTU burner that is a big disappointment. I think there is something wrong with mine and I have called out the warranty service tech who is coming on Wednesday. Not enough heat is generated from this larger BTU burner. The oven is great but I have not used the convection portion yet. If the 12,500 BTU burner worked properly, I would like the range a lot more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stove was delivered to me the last week of May 2013. Within the first 2 months I had to have 3 servicemen in to repair it. When the 4 serviceman can in the beginning of August 2013 I insisted on a new stove that this one was a LEMON. So the first part of September 2013 the second stove was delivered. By the end of October 2013 I have had to have a serviceman out for the new 2nd stove and it is still not working correctly. I would not recommend this stove to anyone. It looks nice but that is about it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why did I choose this one over the competitors? First of all it was the only one availabe in WHITE. I have a white appliance kitchen which is part of the dining room and living room so very visible. White cupboards. Secondly it was at a sale price. It seemed easier to clean too. One feature that is difficult to adapt to is the sensitivity of the control panel. One bump/ touch will turn on the controls so one must be very careful NOT to bump against it when not operating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only issue is that the grates scratch the stainless steel very easily on the front of the stove.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Should be stainless top around burners or grey speckled like my last Kitchen Aid stove. The glossy black shows every little crumb like dandruff on a black sweater. Other than that, it does a good job of baking, dehydrating, etc.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] replaced a two year old stove that was low end, stepped up to the real deal, I cook a lot and so far this stove performs perfect..Oven gets to temp in a third of the time my old one did,,broiler is fast. All the controls are really easy and well thought out..Easy to clean and my friends think it looks pro...Wife can bake 3 sheets of cookies instead of only two..and with the convection half the time..Getcha one....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My KitchenAid range was installed in my new house. When I tried to light one of the burners the igniter clicked repeatedly without a reasonable time for results. I called a repairman from the store from which the rang was purchased. He did several tests and decided the ignition switch was bad. After he left I started preparing dinner and found that the two-stage burner(not the same burner I called the repairman for) would light only on the inner or small, burner instead of lighting both the inner and outer burners, which previously worked fine. I called the store and was told all the burners were likely to fail due to the bad ignition switch. This is a new product in a new house. I expected better from new KitchenAid appliances. I also have had my new KitchenAid refrigerator repaired, my new KitchenAid dishwasher adjusted, and my new KitchenAid microwave replaced since moving into my new house in October. When KitchenAid appliances work, they work really well. I personally have not been duly impressed since four out of four have had problems.
