I really like the oven capacity (fits full sheet) and racks on my 36” monogram. Have found it to be a bit uneven baking but so far so good.

I have the Miele Induction range (and, yes, I know you aren’t interested in induction, lol), and also do a lot of baking. The oven should be basically the same as those in their 36” gas/dual ranges. I have the Moisture Plus and love the very fast pre-heating, and the fact that I now know exactly how long to bake all my regular items. Miele isn’t usually the preferred option here for gas/DF ranges, but I think it could be worth a serious look if baking is a priority for you. Miele also had the quietest fans of any oven I was able to try.

I loved my DF Fivestar (not bluestar). I’m more of a hobby baker - I do cakes, cookies, pie, sourdough, pita and the occaisonal macarons.

I loved that one so much that I am buying it again for this kitchen.

The only complaint I have is that the oven width on a 36” is not as generous as other 36” ranges. But I have been using 24” double ovens so it will feel bigger.

I use natural gas and prefer sealed burners. Their 36” in those options has a grill/griddle, so its only four burners. But their griddle works great and makes some wicked english muffins.

$6500 direct to my door. If you consider them, make sure you check local repair people. It doesn’t have fancy electronics. The unit I bought in 1998 is still in use today. They are reliable but I felt more comfortable with my purchase knowing there were local repair people that had worked on them (and said they were super reliable).
