I am placing an order for a 48” range this week. I’m stuck between the Viking and Duel Fuel KitchenAid. I’m renovating the kitchen, removing walls, redoing floors etc so it’s adding up quickly, so unfortunately the BlueStar is out of our budget. The Viking has been my next go to but I’ve been reading up on the KA and it has so many more features for a little less. My husband would rather go for a Thor/NXR but they seem too cheap to be good. I cook a lot. Spent over a decade in restaurants so cooking is my passion, i left to devote more time to my family so cooking is truly a family affair, we spend most of our time in the kitchen. I need something that can give me the power, be dependable, functionality, easy to clean while getting a good bang for my buck.
