Fulgor Milano Slide in Range

8 years ago

Reviews on Fulgor products are scant. Does anyone have long-term experience with their products or even recent experience?

Fulgor 30'' Full Gas Professional Range

I am in the process of purchasing a 30" gas, slide-in range and of the opinion that their ranges are as beautiful as any on the market, regardless of price. The price is competitive and they are offering a free hood-vent at the time of this message (which further entices me). I'm just really nervous about pulling the trigger on a company with little history in the US market. I know there was a brief discussion from 1 or 2 members a year ago, but I'm hoping for more feedback. Thank you!

    I am looking for the same info. So far, I have found some reviews on Appliances Connections web site. It is rated 4.6 there: https://www.appliancesconnection.com/fulgor-milano-731877.html

    I work in the industry (sales at a local appliance store) and have about 10 of these in customers homes, so far the feedback from my clients has been very positive! great performance and not a single service issue to date. they haven't been in the market long enough to get the full picture in terms of reliability but so far all the signs are pointing to it being a great product!

    hope this helps!

    After playing with it for some time in the showroom I pulled a trigger and placed an order two days ago. Purchased 5 years warranty.

    Anyone have updates on their Fulgor Milano range oven?

    I was painting my kitchen and haven't installed it yet. I have installed a hood though a few days ago.

    I will post my last impressions when I get the range installed.

    Thanks to all of you trail blazers for starting this Fulgor Milano thread! It is very helpful as I, like many others, am feeling tentative about purchasing a less known brand (less known within the North American market).

    I am seriously considering the 30 inch induction version of FM Sofia. The showroom of the appliance shop I'm dealing with has a 36 Dual Fuel FM on the floor. I have now visited it two times. I have been bouncing between purchasing the FM, Bertazzoni and Miele induction ranges. There is also a dual fuel Bertazzoni on the floor so I've been able to compare the Bert and the FM in terms of visible aspects and 'feel.' The FM is a more solid build with 'soft close' door, and and has two rather than one convection fans. The Bert is also quite solid construction but not as 'heavy duty' as the FM. My hesitation with the Bert is the consistency of the complaints regarding the 'hot air blowing out' and noise issues. There is an exposed vent on the top edge of the Bert oven door that seems to be the 'culprit.' The Bert has no digital indicators from what I understand so one less
    thing to break down which is good BUT I would like to have a digital read on the oven
    temp as well as a built in timer. With respect to the Bert, there are
    also complaints about not being able to properly gauge and/or maintain
    the oven temp. What I hear thus far is that the FM oven cooking is
    consistent and even, and that the oven maintains the temperature well. Compared to the Miele - the FM will cost about a quarter to a third less and has fewer bells and whistles (which is preferable to me). There is risk with the FM because it hasn't infiltrated the North American market to the extent of the other two brands so parts will be harder to come by etc if there are issues. Nonetheless, after thinking this through carefully, and reading what others have kindly contributed on this topic thus far, I am leaning towards 'taking the plunge' with the FM too.

    Karen, FM Sofia also has a vent on top of the handle. When I was playing with it in the show room it was my concern that the hot air will be coming out and heat up the handle. I was heating up the oven to check it out. It wasn't blowing the hot air. I believe the top handle vent is for the range cooling fan and the oven vent is on the back.
    I haven't installed my unit yet so I can't share my real life backing experience yet.

    Karen, if you are still interested in FM Sofia range, I finally had mine installed and wrote a short review about my experience in the other thread: [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/fulgor-milano-range-dsvw-vd~4270192[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/fulgor-milano-range-dsvw-vd~4270192)

    The Fulgor Milano came as a recommendation to me when I was considering purchasing a Wolf range. After doing more research, I'm now leaning heavily towards the FM ranges. They seem like very solid ranges at a a very reasonable price. I've recently learned about the new gorgeous Accento line and, quite frankly, they had me at green. LOL I love it when a professional range not only performs well but also has a bit of character to make my kitchen more unique. I feel it gives a home more personality. Yes, the Wolf range and its red knobs are striking, but after seeing so many kitchen photos on Houzz with this range, it has somewhat lost its appeal. I want my kitchen to feel like my own. I'm hoping I'll love the way the range cooks as much as I do the way it looks once I get it into my new build home. Hoping more people will post reviews to give me peace of mind between now and then.
