I have remodel my kitchen and was shopping around for a 36" stove. I read an article in Consumer Report about stoves and Kucht was one of several top rated pieces of kitchen equipment. The price in comparison with the other brands convinced me that the Kucht was the best value on the market. I am over joyed with the quaility and performance of the stove and oven. The hood name plate was not mounted on straight but I made a call to C.S. and they are in the process of resolving the issue. Great C.S. response and that is an important part of having confidence in your purchase.
