KitchenAid 30" Double Oven Freestanding Gas Range

Upper oven is worthless

We bought this oven for the small double oven on top because we like to make pizzas. We have made 3 pizzas now and can't bake one where the cheese on top gets cooked before the bottom burns. Tried both rack positions and reducing the temperature. Figured out we had to cook normally then broil the last few minutes to get the cheese cooked. Not what I would expect from such an expensive oven. Repair guy coming out Saturday but I'm not optomistic. Doesn't feel like it 425 degress when set at that. Seems to be a design flaw.

You cannot go wrong!

Cannot recommend this oven enough

Double oven

I love having the two ovens. I use the smaller one all the time. It heats up faster. I had a small bubble in the paint on the front of the oven. The paint has fallen off of the metal and now it needs to be replaced. Using small pans on top of the metal grates can be difficult. The pan will tip over if not placed just right.

Awful in all respects...Sorry, worse than awful. One star is too much

Poor service of a product that does not work.

Looks Great still testing

The upper door steamed over when we used the lower oven, but cleared up when we used the upper oven. I tryed to Broil some Rib's in the upper oven and I feel it did not Broil well, not enough heat.

Bake 2 things at the same time

Gret for thanksgiving

Great Purchase Deal

It is my first KitchenAid appliance and so far I love it! It has a great look, it is easy to program, understand and it adjusts heat fast and easy. Plenty of burners and oven space for a family of four. The black glass top is a bit hard to keep clean, but that's just a minor issue compared with its efficiency.

not worth the money

So I have had several problems with this range.  The burners started discoloring two months after I purchasesd it.  I don't cook that often so this was surprising.  Also the stainless steel around the burners is hard to clean.  You cant use anything that will scratch the stainless steel so you have to scrub gently.  Lastly, there is a vent in the oven doors.  If something leaks in there you actually have to take the doors apart to clean the oven door.  I mean actually use a screw driver to take the doors apart.  This is really ridiculous because how are you going to take the doors apart every single time something leaks in there.

Kitchenaid Double Gas Range (Model KGRS505XSS0) - Think Again

Burner failed on arrival, knob failed after 6 months - not covered by warranty (we tried to force the knob and bent the pin). That cost $185. Another knob failed 1 month after warranty ran out - $230 estimated for same repair. "Stainless" steel surface is "stained," scratched, and discolored. I'm waiting for the 3 remaining knobs to fail - at $230 per knob, that's almost $700! If you think buying high-end Sears product gets high-end quality, think again.

Kitchenaid range is not worth the money.

We purchased this range in June 2011. Right away the burners became discolored just from the flame of being on. 6 mo. Later the letters around the controls that tell you if your burners are on H, M, L etc. we're disappearing. And now, exactly one year later, the top oven quits working. Did not take the maintenance agreement. What a crock. Would never purchase a Kitchen Aid item again.

Bitterly disappointed

First of all, we have loved having 2 ovens. I am a busy mother and use them both frequently. Loved this appliance while it worked. However, 1 year later (and 4 days past the warrantee) the top oven will no longer heat up. We have changed out the igniter and gas valve and still no luck. I will never buy from Kitchen Aid again. We are bitterly disappointed. I thought this was the Cadillac of Whirpool.

looks and works great

i was a little doughtful to purchase this but it works great.... i have prepared big meals, small meals, all of the goodies and it amazes me. Thank God I went for the range... it looks grea and it works wonder... very easy to clean... wipes down perfectly with just a damped rag.....

Great Freestanding Range Capability, However

In general, this range with fiveburners and two ovens offers great capabilities for a freestanding range. Two complaints early on: First, some grease drippings from the frying pan entered the upper oven door vents and ended up between the inner glass layers in the door, requiring disassembly, cleaning and a very frustrating reassembly. Second, after the first use of the griddle on the center burner, we noticed that the stainless surface adjacent to burner flame became discolored from the heat, seemingly permanently. I have seen similar heat discoloration on stainless exhaust systems on aircraft. Already we are starting to see discolorations around the other burners. There seems to be no way to prevent or remove this discoloration and, after only ten days of service, we are concerned with the longer term implications. It would be a shame to have an unsightly discoloration that cannot be removed, detract from an otherwise attractive and capable appliance.

Loving the KitchenAid new Double oven.

I love my new stove. It cooks evenly and the look is fantastic. I've had more compliments on this stove in just a few short days I've had it. I cannot wait until the holidays to cook up some delicious meals for the family.

Looks Great, Cooks Even Better

The unit looks great and performs flawlessly so far. The convection fan is whisper quiet and works great. The middle burner is nice, but the griddle it comes with is very very small, kinda useless. The cooktop gives a professional grade apperance and the controls are very intuitive. Do yourself a favor and run the ovens for about 30 minutes before the first use to burn off a "coating" on the inside of the oven - it smells pretty bad. An internet search revealed this is normal and the smell went away just as my search revealed. I also installed this myself (had to convert it for use with propane gas). The conversion was simple. The hardest part was removing the lower oven door, which the installation instructions stated was necessary. Skip this step, its not easy and isn't necessary for the average arm to get to the back of the oven. I saved $260 installing it myself (Sear's propane conversion is $80 and the regular install in $180). Of course, make sure you're comfortable dealing with gas... We could be more satisfied!

Haven't found anything to complain about

I love this thing! My boyfriend thought it was overkill as we would probably only use both ovens on Thanksgiving, but you'd be amazed how often it comes in handy when you have the option. I just wish you could buy a griddle insert for the middle burner, then it would be perfect.

Kitchen Aid Stainless Steel Double Oven Gas Range

We looked at this for months and read the reviews. Went to Sears to look at it and received a good introduction via the sales person and purchased it.

The appliance is lovely and really a great looking stove! Gas heat being more finite for controling heat really works well with the double oven. The convection oven takes time of many normal regular oven chores and really cooks items evenly. Here are some of the strong points:

• 19.99 Delivery! :)
• Free set up (Tip those drivers they are really good)
• Stainless steel appliance - Looks great
• 5 Burner with middle larger burner with griddle
• Double oven
• Top Oven normal w/Broiler
• Bottom Oven Convection or Regular
• Both Ovens have blue enamel interior and movable shelves that articulate/slide out (they actually are two pieces that allow you to slide items out without taking out the shelf
• Control panel is all touch
• Kitchen Aid Quality
