Bertazzoni range owners

18 years ago

Hi

I'm thinking of buying a Bertazzoni 36" 5 burner Gas range. I would love to hear from anyone who is using or has used one about performance, pros and cons, service, cleaning etc. Thanks!

    Hi - If you search at the bottom of the page and type in "Bertazzoni" you will find lots of info.

    Good luck!

    I have a 36" 5-burner Berta and I love her! Been using for a little more than a month now, cooking dinner 5 out of 7 nights a week. My simmer burner seems a little more powerful than it should be -- burned the cranberry sauce on Turkey Day -- but I was admittedly distracted by other preparations. Otherwise, more than pleased. There have been complaints on this forum with igniting the burners and oven. I have no difficulty or problem with it. Sometimes it takes two tries to get the oven lit, but DH has even figured out the oven himself, so cannot be that difficult! I think it's a gorgeous range and fits my needs perfectly. Oh, and the top is very easy to clean -- throw the grates in soapy water or DW and wipe down the stainless top with a wet miracle cloth. I haven't attempted cleaning oven yet, so cannot report on that. Good luck with your decision.

    I think Bertazzoni has a very compelling product offering. Right between a normal $600 american brand range and the $3500 plus for Wolf, Viking, DCS etc.
    Also I think the bright colors are very attractive.
    The bright red 30" Bertazzoni range was my #2 choice for a recent kitchen remove. Went with two Gaggenau cooktop modules for the simple reason that my wife likes electric and I like gas. Money can buy marital harmony.

    Thanks for the info. I read thru alot of the messages on this site and decided to look at the 36" 6 burner American range too. We liked it alot. It's a matter of deciding how much we want to spend, BTU's and oven size. The Bert has a nice style but I like the American too. I couldn't decide today so Monday is the deadline to order one way or another.

    mcferg - if you can't see the Bertazzoni in person, wanted to be sure you are aware that to light the oven you must have the oven door open and hold in the knob until ignition. This is normal for the range - the way it was designed. For many, that isn't a big deal. For others, it may be.

    Also, the American oven is huge compared to the Bert (30").

    Good luck & let us know!

    Bertazzoni Dual Fuel Range owners - are you happy? Love the look of the blue Electrolux interior but price is so much better on the Bertazzoni.
    Also, I am considering Electrolux front load washer/dryer or the Samsung - anyone have thoughts on them?
