Check Price on Amazon

The Empava Pro range delivers the highest total BTU output in this lineup at 136,000, anchored by two 25,000 BTU double-flame burners that bring a wok to smoking heat in under a minute. The 5.2 cubic foot oven includes a true convection fan with dedicated defrost and dehydrate modes, giving you professional-level drying capability without an extra appliance.

Heavy-duty cast iron grates span the entire cooktop, providing continuous sliding surface across all six burners. The porcelain oven interior resists staining, and the sealed burner system keeps boil-overs isolated to the cooktop surface. The unit arrives with an LP conversion kit in the box, saving you a separate purchase.

Some users note the shorter back panel may require a backsplash extension to meet standard counter height. The unit weighs nearly 225 pounds, so a two-person installation team is non-negotiable for safety.

The Verona Prestige Series stands out with its dual-oven configuration — a primary 3.9 cubic foot oven plus a secondary upper cavity — letting you bake a casserole at 350°F while broiling steaks above simultaneously. The five sealed burners are Italian-made with a flame-failure safety device that automatically cuts gas if the flame extinguishes.

Continuous cast-iron grates cover the entire cooktop, and the full-width storage drawer provides substantial space for bulky sheet pans. The electronic ignition fires reliably, and the unit includes a cast-iron wok ring and LP conversion kit from the factory.

Several owners report the oven takes nearly an hour to reach 425°F, which is slower than single-oven rivals. The dual-oven design also means each cavity is smaller than a standard 5.0+ cubic foot range, limiting capacity for large holiday roasts.

The ZLINE RA36 combines a six-burner gas cooktop with an electric convection oven, giving you instant gas flame control for the stovetop and dry, even heat distribution for baking. The 4.6 cubic foot oven cavity fits pans up to 27 inches wide, and the electric element ensures zero temperature oscillation during long roasts.

Italian-made sealed burners range from a 1,000 BTU simmer to an 18,000 BTU searing flame. The 304-grade stainless steel body resists rust in humid environments, and the triple-layer glass door with aluminum mesh seal retains heat for consistent oven temperatures. Adjustable legs let you fine-tune the height from 36 to 38.5 inches.

The unit requires a dedicated 240V circuit for the electric oven, which adds installation complexity if your kitchen isn’t pre-wired. Some users report uneven baking across the rear of the oven cavity, particularly when loading multiple racks.

The NXR SC3611 uses German-made single-stack burners that produce a 18,000 BTU high flame and a controlled 6,000 BTU low simmer without the gas pulsing common in cheaper valves. The extra-large 5.5 cubic foot oven cavity fits multiple large roasting pans, and the convection fan circulates heat evenly across all three rack positions.

All stainless steel construction gives the range a professional appearance, with a black porcelain drip pan under the burners for easier wipe-downs. The oven window is extra-large, reducing the need to open the door and lose temperature during cooking. An anti-tip bracket and product manual are included.

Reliability reports are mixed — the oven igniter has been a recurring failure point for some owners after two years of daily use. The 22,000 BTU oven burner is powerful, but the broiler burner sits at only 10,000 BTU, which limits high-heat broiling performance.

Rangaire’s RRG361TS focuses on cooking precision with its PerfectCook glass touch timer that automatically shuts off the oven when your set time expires — a useful safeguard for slow-roasting or batch baking. The center PowerFlame triple-ring burner delivers 18,000 BTU for wok-style cooking, while the five CleanSeal burners prevent debris from lodging under the grates.

The AireCook convection mode circulates hot air to eliminate cold spots, and the EasyReach telescopic oven rack slides out fully so you can access dishes at the rear without reaching over a hot door. A wok grate attachment and LP conversion kit are included in the box.

Several owners note the oven runs about 25 to 50 degrees hotter than the dial indicates, requiring an oven thermometer and manual temperature adjustments. The cooling fan can also produce a humming vibration during preheat cycles above 350 degrees.

The COSMO GRP366 uses six Italian sealed burners across a 304-grade stainless steel body, with a 22,000 BTU bake burner and 10,000 BTU broiler delivering strong oven performance. The Rapid Convection system uses a fan designed for even heat distribution, and the 5.4 cubic foot capacity handles full-sheet baking without crowding.

The heavy-duty cast iron grates retain heat well, and the fingerprint-resistant finish cleans easily with a damp cloth. Four oven functions — Bake, Broil, Convection Bake, and Convection Roast — cover most cooking needs without overwhelming you with menus. The unit includes a wok attachment.

Long-term durability reports are mixed; the timer dial has been known to fail after several years, spinning freely and disabling the auto shut-off. The control panel is not detachable, making cleaning around the knobs tedious compared to models with front-mounted controls.

This Empava model delivers a 20,000 BTU double-flame burner and six sealed burners totaling 103,000 BTU — more than enough for high-heat stir-fries while still offering a 6,000 BTU auxiliary burner for delicate sauces. The 5.2 cubic foot oven features true convection with defrost and dehydrate functions, giving it utility beyond standard baking.

Heavy-duty cast iron grates provide pot stability, and the seamless stainless steel top is easy to wipe down after heavy use. The unit is certified by ETL for safety and includes a comprehensive 2-year manufacturer warranty, which is better than the industry-standard 1-year coverage. The LP conversion kit is included.

The glass cooktop surface is prone to cloudiness over time with repeated high-heat use. Some owners also report that the vent grill gasket detaches during operation, and replacement parts are not offered free of charge by the manufacturer.

The COSMO EPGR366 from the Haven Collection offers the largest single oven cavity in this roundup at 6.0 cubic feet, paired with a six-sealed-burner cooktop using three different burner sizes: two 18,000 BTU, two 12,000 BTU, and two 9,000 BTU. This gradient layout lets you match pot size to flame power more precisely than a uniform-burner design.

The oven uses a convection fan for even heat distribution, backed by an 18,500 BTU bake burner and 10,000 BTU broil burner. The storage drawer below accommodates bulky bakeware, and the bright mirror-finished knobs add a polished aesthetic. Safety features include triple-thick oven glass, overheating protection, and a cool-touch handle.

Some owners report that the stainless steel knobs conduct heat from the oven cavity, becoming uncomfortably warm to touch during extended roasting sessions. The plastic knob stems have also been noted to soften under prolonged heat exposure, which is unusual at this price point.

THOR Kitchen’s LRG3601U is a no-frills professional-style range that emphasizes raw cooking utility over smart features. The 18,000 BTU front burner provides high heat for searing, and the 6.0 cubic foot convection oven handles large-format cooking with even heat distribution. The reflective gas tube broiler sears evenly without the flare-ups common with direct infrared elements.

The stainless steel body and storage drawer keep the kitchen tidy, and the commercial convection fan ensures heat flows consistently across all racks. The unit is reasonably well-protected during shipping, but heavy, so you’ll need assistance for positioning.

Several buyers experienced oven temperature control failures where the oven refused to exceed 350°F, making it unsafe for roasting. The knob markings can also be inaccurate, requiring an independent oven thermometer for reliable cooking. Customer service responsiveness varies significantly by region.

The ZLINE RT36 is a slide-in rangetop designed for those who already own a separate wall oven and just need a professional cooktop. Its six Italian burners include a Dual Function burner that can simmer as low as 800 BTU or sear at 20,000 BTU from the same ring — a rare feature in the slide-in category. Total output hits 71,000 BTU.

The one-piece porcelain cooktop is hand-finished for easier cleaning than stainless steel, and the heavy cast-iron grates allow you to slide pans across burners without lifting. Automatic reignition re-lights the flame instantly if wind or a boil-over extinguishes it. The LP conversion kit is included.

This unit requires a dedicated 120V circuit for the electronic ignition and lights, which adds a minor electrical step for gas-only installations. Some users note that the tapered knob rings, while attractive, can trap grease if not wiped regularly.

The THOR HRT3618U rangetop delivers professional styling without the oven component, making it ideal for kitchens with separate wall ovens. Six sealed burners include two front 18,000 BTU units, a center 15,000 BTU dual burner with simmer function, and three rear 12,000 BTU burners — enough variety for most home cooking demands.

The heavy-duty flat cast-iron grates create a continuous surface, and the zinc alloy control knobs feel solid during adjustment. Automatic re-ignition ensures you never lose a flame, and the blue LED control panel light makes night cooking easier. The unit fits a standard 36-inch cutout.

The rangetop is designed with front-mounted knobs, which requires at least a partial cabinet front setback for safe installation — it cannot be flush-mounted against a back wall. The LP conversion kit is not included, which adds an extra cost for propane users.

The SPIRE 740-0781P is a 36-inch built-in outdoor grill rather than an indoor range, included here for buyers considering an outdoor cooking island. It features six 10,000 BTU stainless steel burners plus a rear burner for rotisserie cooking, totaling 73,000 BTU across 904 square inches of cooking surface.

304-grade stainless steel grates resist rust and provide non-stick performance, while the dual-fuel compatibility lets you run either natural gas or propane with the included conversion components. The interior lights help you monitor food without lifting the lid during the cooking process.

Some units arrive with a misaligned lid that prevents flush closure, requiring an exchange within the 30-day window. The grease trap gaps also allow drips to bypass the collection tray, creating a cleaning challenge under the grill body.

The Kratos 29Y-005 is a 36-inch commercial countertop griddle built for high-volume cooking in food trucks, diners, or restaurant kitchens. The 3/4-inch thick polished steel plate distributes heat evenly across the entire surface, and three independent 30,000 BTU burners deliver a total of 90,000 BTU for heavy production.

The stainless steel construction is ETL certified for commercial foodservice, and the adjustable legs let you level the griddle on uneven floors. A removable drip tray and rear/side splash guards simplify cleanup during service. Manual controls mean no electronics to fail in a busy kitchen environment.

This is a natural gas unit with a 3/4-inch connection, field-convertible to LP only by a qualified technician. The griddle weighs 224 pounds empty, so permanent countertop placement is recommended — it’s not portable. The warranty is void if used in a non-commercial setting.
