Product review (5 stars): We are not professional cooks, but a large family of 6 and we LOVE this stove
An afternoon of visiting a few stores and a price match with 10% off, brought the price down to about $1800.  Still not cheap... but we found out quickly that today, $1000 doesn't even buy you a nice gas stove with extra features... just a gas stove cheaply made.  We've owned this for about 2-months and it's fun to cook again! I can actually cook with 5 large pots and pans at the same time! They moved the burners out 3-inches, so it's still 30" but you have more cooking area.  I can boil water in 5 minutes, program it to shut off after the food has cooked for a set period of time, and the center burner cooks pancakes and bacon just perfectly at 6000 BTU's (all other stoves with oval center burners were 5000 BTU's). Sorry, haven't tried the convection yet.... but it converts automatically.  Have read other people's concerns over the fan noise, honestly we haven't noticed, but most of our cooking is done well under 425 degrees.  The stove will give you a nice commercial look, one burner gives you professional level 18,000 BTU's, and for the price it's a great choice.  If you're a professional chef/cook, I can't imagine you would be happy, it would be all look and not enough power.  But for us, large family, cooking 2-meals at home per day, sometimes different items for the finicky kid, it had all the extra features we wanted at a great price without getting into a commercial stove with a big price tag.
