Product review (1 stars): and are left relying on a sales person or reviews like this one - please do your homework
- I am an architect with 45 yrs in the high end house biz - in this case, I am talking about a first hand experience, as we bought it for our new house and learned several very important lessons.
FYI - I am not a paid in anyway to put this review out there... and we did not buy ours thru amazon.

BE WARNED - THE COOLING FAN IS EXTREMELY LOUD AND DISTURBING. (as i have now learned, many products have the same issue of late as they have gone to similar cooling solutions... for glass as electronics - they say)
FEW FOLKS are ABLE TO RUN THEM IN THE STORE TO SEE HOW THEY SOUND OR really WORK... and are left relying on a sales person or reviews like this one - please do your homework. Push them on details...
- it took some work but we are now finding out, after the fact, that we are not alone in our concerns.
- Try to find a show room that lets you run it - if you can
- push them for very specific details...
- find out the return policy

Major Issue:
NOISE from the cooling fan is SO intrusive as to make it unusable in our house (it is equal to our BIG exhaust hood at mid setting). Other kitchen layouts that use a staff might be fine... But it runs all the time and blows hot air 30"s off the ground directly at you and your kitchen.
- since learned, trying to replace it, there are many ranges at this price point that have switched to this cooling method.
- some have a subtle difference in the way the fan cools the door and the electronics ( which are limited in most of them...) we are going with the SMEG and will report accordingly.

Bertazzoni did not even feel we had a problem ( and does not have decibel rating for it nor do many others).

on a positive note, the cook top seemed to work well for the 1 month we owned it. we did not use the oven but once so we have no experience.
FYI - you need to use a thermostat inside to know what the temp is as there are no gauges...

- this range is graciously being taken back by our vendor as we do a great deal of business with them, but you don't want to count on that  and it is certainly not the practice of Bertazzoni as they and other mfg's of similar product do not see it is a problem.
After much research we intend to replace it with SMEG of similar spec... and do intend to buy it thru Amazon  as our vendor does not yet carry it - we shall see how it goes.
