The Chinese brands masquerading as pro style ranges are problem prone. Avoid.

Did you end up getting one? I just placed an order for one.m they are NJ based

NJ my foot. Garbage Chinese product. It is going to cost even more nowadays. Stick with something real like Thermador or Wolf.

From what I can tell, while their headquarters are in NJ, their ranges are actually made primarily in China.

• Manufacturing Hub: The main assembly for their gas ranges happens in China.

• Component Sourcing:
  • Italy: Burners, hinges.
  • Germany: Burners, cooktops.
  • USA: Stainless steel, safety valves.
  • Spain: Oven coating.

For what it's worth, their sales blurb:

We are an American company from New Jersey, but we manufacture all over the world, this is one of the key features of how we can offer a good quality product at almost half the price as the similar brands. Our microwaves and wall ovens are fully designed and made in the U.S., our cooktops are manufactured in Germany with American stainless steel. The most complicated products are the gas ranges. We use Italian and german burners depending on the model, Italian hinges, the oven coating is from Spain, the safety valves and stainless steel is from the U.S. and the assembly line is in China. The design and quality test for each product is made in the U.S. as well as the quality and safety certifications like UL and ETL depending on the product line. We also offer a 4-year warranty for parts and labor for the whole U.S. territory.

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
