Blue Star with zero hesitation. Just pray that you don't need parts, they've become very hard to find, especially for my 12 year old 36" range. It's a beast of a range, but the parts problem is frustrating. I've owned Viking (48" Commercial) and Garland (60" Fully Commercial) and the Blue Star seems to be the home version of the Garland. The Viking, my first high end range was a big let down. Very flimsy and far from powerful. However, that was back in the 80's, so I'm confident they've improved immensely since. I'm an all nat gas guy and want noting to do with electric ovens. I've tried the best of them and they're not for me.
We have bluestar that is a dud. 12 service calls later theyre letting us exchange or choose a new brand. I am on the fence- love the unit, but one burner hasnt worked since day 1
@@rebeccaehrick971 We are in the same boat. Oven doesn’t work reliably. Numerous service calls, long waits for parts. Just now entertaining the idea of approaching BlueStar for an exchange of some kind. When we bought this house it had 40 year old GE double ovens. Fortunately, when we redid the kitchen, my wife convinced me to move them to the basement. They have saved several dinner parties and holiday dinners.
@@YaleAppliance1 Oven never worked right. cycled on and off from the moment you turned it on. took 60 to 90 minutes to hit 300 degrees. Repairman couldn't figure it out so he called BlueStar.

Out of all the ranges you have reviewed, do you have a list with the most accurate oven temperature? If not can you do a video reviewing who has the most accurate oven temperature?
The thing I find rediculus and over looked in some of these stoves is the ability to see and read the temperature! WTH is it with these creators and being innovated and intelligent design! Enough! Think when designing!
Wish I was being paid. That said, we were one of the original Viking dealers back in the 1990s. However, we service what we sell and became alarmed over the quality issues. About 10 years ago, one of my service techs called saying the factory wanted him to rewire a harness and I had enough. They probably are improved now, but we partnered with Wolf, Thermador, Miele, BlueStar, Monogram and La Cornue. Thats enough, I think.
i would like you to do a fan review?The reason being I live in Las Vegas. It's hot here and I would like to use my oven in the summertime and my wife hates the noisy microwave fan that comes with the house. i am in a wheelchair i can stand up but the fan hood is to high and so i want one with remote so i can sit and cook i wanted a fan with a light the fan itself outside in the chimney so no fan noise.

Not having any wi-fi or so-called smart features is not a "problem," but a valuable (avoidance of unnecessarily future repairs) feature.
WIFI is not a repaired item per se
Yeah who cares about wifi lol
Gas only for me. If I had dual fuel or induction, I couldn't use my copper cookware. That stuff cost too much to not use LOL!

Very well explained.
Good luck simmering on a blue star range. I have the cook top and it's difficult to do a low simmer even on the smaller burners.
Great presentation & beautiful eyes!

Bought a BlueStar 36. Definetly have buyers remorse.

Great question...I don't. Great suggestion.
Well I guess I'll have to buy 10 then!
I have. 10' x 19' kitchen and plan on reno it do whatbdo you recommend? Seperate or all in one. I have gas line
I think all in one to save space. Have your cabinet company render it both ways.
How does Forno compare?
Ha....no comment. OK, I cant leave you hanging. Fomo is cheaper, but doesnt compare for output, features, etc
No Viking?
An no AGA?
Viking is the best IMO.
No to both.......for good reason
The thing I find rediculus and over looked in some of these stoves is the ability to see and read the temperature! WTH is it with these creators and being innovated and intelligent design! Enough! Think when designing!
No more Hestan?
No more
Red knobs? Why would you do that when people have certain look to their kitchen red knobs will not fit in well!
They have other options as well.
@@YaleAppliance1 Good to know!
That’s like asking why Nike has a check mark. Do you drink the warm lemon water at high end restaurants?
Who is this site being paid by? How can you ignore Viking?? They are an appliance store and they don’t sell Viking products. That’s how!

Great question....You could probably rewire a hood with a more accessible control.
