IMO no home neeeds a 48” range the venting alone costs at least as much as the range the noise is horrendous. I also never buy appliances all from one maker IMO no one maker makes everything well. You need to think about how you cook and buy appliances that work for that. I run a catering biz with a 36” all gas 6 burner range and even that venting is noisy . I have had very little good luck with LG so read the LG reviews .

That’s unnecessarily judg-y Patricia, end you’re comment did nothing to help the actual question soooooo...thx?

Not sure why you think PCC's comment is judge-y. She's just informing you that a 48" range is not just a larger 30" range. There are a lot of other considerations and costs increase very quickly. Unless you are building a very high end kitchen, a 48" range may be a bit more than you're bargaining for. I also liked the idea of a 48" range - until I costed out the ventilation and makeup air, which added on another $10k (so, $20k-$25k all in just for the range & venting), so I scrapped the idea altogether. If you don't need 48" of cooking surface you may want to reconsider, unless you're dropping $100k + on your kitchen.

Regarding your original question - I've never seen anyone post about a 48" LG range on this site, so you're probably not likely to get much feedback. I've mostly seen bluestar/thermador/wolf/miele.

Simply put , I’m obviously already past that point in my planning and made the choice to put in a 48”

@User: "There are no circumstances where LG can make a luxury product and have it turn out well."

As usual, this is based on no data. You have no idea how or where the Signature appliances are manufactured, what post-purchase services are available to owners, and what the warranties are. You just spout off because you see the word "LG" and make unfounded declarations: "There are no circumstances..."

wdccruise, that is in keeping with the feedback we got from our appliances store, who deals with most of the high end companies.

@akrogirl32: "Does this store sell the Signature appliances? Do Chevrolet salesmen tout the virtues of Ford automobiles?"

@User: "Now you claim to know about people who buy LG products: "Folks who want the cool gadget before their neighbors."

Generally speaking if there is something bad to say about a product you can find it online, but there’s nothing out there which I find reassuring since the product has been out a few years

Juneknow: I understand all you arguments but the problem is that your points are not in keeping with reality. Reviews online for LG brand appliances are heavily positive and they ranked #2 fir best appliance brand in 2019...So, do you know something everybody else doesn’t know or are you just jaded or somehow otherwise discontent with the brand and maligning their name?

Patricia colwell consulting: Which 36" gas range do you have? Do you like it and have you had any problems with it?

wdccruise, yes, they do sell both LG and Signature. They have been very open about the shortcomings of the various brands they sell. They have been in business for many years and they are the most knowledgeable dealership in our area, with salesmen who have been with the company for at least ten years that we know of.

heckee I have a Bertazzoni with a aimmer burner and a wok burner ordered for how I cook if i was doing it now I would not do the simmer since I have now got a poratable induction burner I use for delicate sauces and meltig a lot of choclate. I have had no issues at all and 13 yrs have gone by with a ton of daily use even the lighters have all lasted this long. I love the gas oven for doing pizza and bread. I do because of the biz have also double electric wall ovens since I use ovens a lot for things like stew, soups and chili tiavoid burnig something when we re really busy. All my ovens are convection. I guess the one thing is my Bert does not have self clean but I just wipe it out after each use no problem

To the OP since you have already designed the kitchen around that range why are you asking now for reviews a bit late IMO. My experience with LG is more from their fridges and it is not good but like I said no company makes everything well. I would wonder about no reviews at all but that is just me.

Just looked at that LG range. For that money you could get a 48" BS RNB range (w/ a 24" griddle!) along with a Polyscience Hydropro Plus and have a good chunk of money left over (I'd get a Control Freak w/ the leftover $'s). You'd have a far better range and much better sous vide.

For the record, I don't have a range. I have a 36-inch induction cooktop and an induction wok hob under Wolf's largest Pro Island hood (with duct cover). Ducting includes a Fantech silencer, and on the roof is a Wolf (Broan) 1500 CFM (nominal) blower. There is a Wolf double wall oven pair, with some venting provided by another silencer and blower system. There is a partially built MUA system that is at present operating in heated and filtered passive mode. It needs more parts to operate in active mode.

It is hard to determine just where one draws a limit on costs when there is so much reconstruction, including extensive electrical and heating revisions and additions done by me. At some point I redefined my renovation as a sister money pit to the Money Hole of Nova Scotia (look it up) and stopped keeping track of what costs should be allocated to what function.

As a result, while I think the cooktop exhaust ventilation system is lower in cost than all the cooking equipment, the entirety of the ventilation plus the MUA (including its heating system) is likely greater. To ponder: How should the specific cabinetry and countertop costs needed for the cooktops and wall ovens be counted -- the range provides its own?

If the Signature range is a rebranded, restyled DACOR perhaps similar performance and reliability could be assumed. Or is it Samsung who purchased DACOR? The warranty certainly sounds good.

When I did my research on 48” ranges the Wolf came out on top year after year, so that’s what we decided on (dual fuel). Check YouTube for reviews. There are appliance experts on there that do thorough review videos on all kinds of ranges.

Opaone: you had me excited with your comment about price because I had fairly early on disregarded Bluestar base on online reviews but I thought it might be worth looking into a bit more with your feedback but looking at what little prices I can find online most of the BlueStar are way more than the SKS

K R: appreciate the comment. I used to always think I'd go Wolf but based on current reviews they don't always come out on top and they're quite a bit heftier in price

Venmar: SKS in the new line for LG

Patricia Colwell: I never said I "designed my kitchen around that range." I said I designed my kitchen around a 48" range. huge difference. Hence why I'm asking for reviews

Phillippe, Did you end up buying the SKS 48" range? If so, did you get all gas or dual fuel and how do you like it? I am considering it. Thanks!
