So, after much hemming and hawing I recently purchased a Bertazonni all gas Pro 30" range.

Our LG glass top started to malfunction (the main burner had two modes- on and off, much got burnt). I saw this as an opportunity to bring in a gas stove. This required getting propane installed with that that entailed.

The Bertazonni met almost all my needs in terms of aesthetics and functionality. I also purchased it locally from a retailer that offered an extensive ($$) extended warranty. Cuz, ya know . . . .

And right from the start the oven wouldn't work. Not to panic, Crap happens. Someone came out ten days later and fixed it- wiring had loosened en transit. All good. And then . . . sigh.

It blows hot air out the front. Me, I don't mind so much. The lady of the house? won't use the oven. I certainly can't have a range that one of us won't use. So now I have to look at another unit.

My apparent options are:

Kitchenaid- KitchenAid 30" Freestanding Gas Range with 4 Sealed Burners & 4.1 Cu. Ft. Single Oven - Stainless Steel MODEL: KFGC500JSS

Thermador-Thermador Pro Harmony Professional Series 30" Freestanding Gas Range with 4 Sealed Burners & 4.6 Cu. Ft. Single Oven - Stainless Steel MODEL: PRG304WH

Viking- Viking 3 Series 30" Freestanding Gas Range with 5 Sealed Burners & 4.0 Cu. Ft. Single Oven - Stainless Steel MODEL: RVGR33025SSL

Viking- Viking 5 Series 30" Freestanding Gas Range with 4 Open Burners & 4.0 Cu. Ft. Single Oven - Stainless Steel MODEL: VGIC53024BSS

The LG and Samsung aren't options. I don't get the warm fuzzies regarding JennAir- though make a good argument and I could be persuaded.

So, given these options, what stands out, good and/or bad? Any of these gonna blow hot air out the front (or any other unpleasant tendencies)?

Your opinions and insights would be helpful!
