Product review (3 stars): Short-lived and finicky
My comments are about the Dacor Renaissance 30 in gas cooktop RGC304S/NG and the Dacor 30 inch white gas cooktop SGM304W. I am a professional cook in wanted a gas cooktop that could take heavy use but it was not a restaurant stove. My biggest complaint about dacor products, and I've owned these two gas cooktops for 10 years each 20 years and all, is that when they are working they work just fine but they can be finicky and they are short-lived. Granted I am using my home gas cooktops at a rate probably double or triple what a normal cook would use. However a 9 to 10 year life I think is far too short for the price you are paying. I will not buy a Dacor again my next cooktop will be a Wolf. However when they work they work great. If you are a casual cook and you want nearly top of the line then dacor maybe for you.
