I am going to tell you there is no one that needs a 48” range in a residential setting the exhaust system itself will double the price you pay for the range I run a small catering biz from my kitchen with a 36” 6 burner gas stove and double electric wall ovens . Wolf has always been over priced in my opinion and I have never used Thor but I think if there are more bad reviews than awesome ones I would look elsewhere

Patricia...I understand that but because of the way I want my kitchen laid out, a 48" range with two ovens is a better fit for our family. I also want the griddle top because my husband makes pancakes every Saturday morning for our kids. :)

You gotta pay the costs to be the boss. You're looking at a 30K appliance package At that level. A Cheepchinesecrapola range ain't gonna do it if the surroundings expect the red knobs either. You're also talking industrial ventilation and Make Up Air requirements to start with. Just do a 36" cooktop and wall ovens if you aren't doing the 130K level upscale remodel that such a choice demands that it be paired with. But, it sounds like you re doing TNT level, but re chewing out on the details that it demands.

A plain aluminum griddle costs $79, and is much better product than a messy ugly diner griddle with patina. No one ever shows why they look like when they are well used. For a reason. They don't look shiny and new.

Amateurs do not have the same eye to be able to judge quality and ability. We do this every day. We know junk when we see it.

Duly noted Sophie.

We are also looking at new appliances including fridge, dishwasher, and MAYBE range and I am curious about Thor as I don't really know much about the company as a brand. I am confused by this thread. Do the pros think that Thor is overall a junk brand or ONLY the 48" range? Is it a cheaply built brand?? Confused.

Cheepchinesecrapola.

Sophie any thoughts on Bertazzoni the Italian brand?

I bought a thor 48 inch stove 2016, bea beautiful!

i had trouble with it since i bought it. The company sent many people to fix and the problems continued and the warranty expired. now i have spent over 1500.00 to try to repair and still not working well. today i dec to just buy a new stove.

the problem is the clicking noise. it never stops. it supp to click only when turn on to ignite. its annoying also the oven thermostat broke and the door doesnt close. the hinges were changed and still doesnt seal. all the repair people were reccommended by thor company

i bought the 48 inch thor stove in 2016.

it is horrible! the warranty expired and im still paying to fix

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THOR! Save yourself the headache and trouble. They are the worst appliances and have the absolute worst customer service ever. The warranty is a complete scam as they don't even haver partnerships with anyone that will fix it. They just run around in circles and give you lip service but never actually fix anything. I had an issue with a brand new fridge and gas range and I ended up having to get it fixed on my own!! I can not say enough awful things about this company. Just save yourself the trouble.
