Product review (5 stars): Great value; very good customer service. Buy this stove.
Great value for a very, very capable stove.
Central griddle is a fantastically useful feature. Oven is really nice to bake and broil with. The simple control systems are a real plus.... so many fewer components to possibly repair.

Only issue was the "ignition ticking" - and when I called to report the issue, Thor Kitchen customer service *immediately* shipped a simple-to-install, upgraded components kit. Parts arrived a couple of days later and the fix took me less than 15 minutes. The upgraded/re-engineered repair parts are noticeably better for simmer and full heat... very impressive.

Very good value. I've recommended this stove to several friends and I'd buy it again.
