Product review (3 stars): This range looks fantastic and is less than half the price of Viking
UPDATED MARCH 2017:
The flaking issue has gotten worse, now if you try to clean the front, the markings just fade or flake off completely.  The grates and burner parts are discoloring or rusting and the oven knob ring broke free and spins.  KUCHT did answer the phone immediately and looked up my previous claims that were never fixed despite multiple emails every month since November.  They are sending out the parts we need for the front but the grates and burners may take 30 days.  The customer service folks were polite and professional, but I question why the issue has remained open for so long without any contact.

The unit still looks pretty good and operates just like any high end appliance.  But if these issues continue the aesthetics will be a problem and you have to start questioning the overall quality.  Lets see what repairs can be done.

This range looks fantastic and is less than half the price of Viking, Kithenaid etc.  Despite some early challenges, I'm not sure if I'd pay more than double.  The oven bakes and broils well, the burners really crank and can also simmer quite well. Overall the unit works very well.  Certainly as good as any of the more expensive options.

The challenge with this range is really in the little things:
1. The oven dimensions are very strange.  Its wide but not deep.  Actually - the convection fan grate sticks out quite a bit preventing full use of the oven's depth is probably a more accurate description. You cannot put a normal sized cookie sheet in this lengthwise for example.  We had to buy new sheets.  A normal size broiler pan won't fit lengthwise either, you have to get a square one.  So weird as its such a big oven.
2. The black markings on the front plate are wearing off after only 2 weeks. You can quite literally use your fingernail and the ink flakes off.  I've called Nick in customer service who says this is not common and they will send a new part and a tech to replace it. I'll update the review if/when Nick comes through on this, though they did answer the phone right away and were quick to provide directions on how to resolve it
3. The knobs are kind of cheap - like fake chrome - as opposed to higher end brands that are nice and sturdy.  Get what you pay for, a minor challenge for such a big price difference
4. I'm not yet seeing the clicking issue with ignition like others - and I think Kucht has said that is usually the alignment of the burner caps OR the polarity of your socket so if it happens that's how I'll try to fix it.  BUT the 3 burners that are the "regular" burners (not the 2 simmers or the power burner) seem to have limited range.  Like there is only high and low and in the middle is extremely sensitive. I see this a lot in cheaper gas grills

Overall you get what you pay for in terms of quality and some of the little things that can be annoying.  You just have to ask yourself: if it looks really good and cooks really well, is $5,000 in price to upgrade worth the little things or not?  We thought not and the unit is as advertised.
