20 Best 36-Inch Dual Fuel Range (2022 Updated)

We purchased a VERONA VEFSGE365SS in April 2014. We have had one issue after another with this stove: 1) first stove arrived badly damaged (inadequate packaging) – we refused delivery; 2) second stove arrived with minor damage (inadequate packaging) – we accepted a 10% refund and kept the stove; 3) exhaust fan vibration (loud noise) – fan replaced under warranty; 4) new exhaust fan vibration – no optional parts available, kept the fan, service tech fabricated a “buffer” part to resolve the vibration/noise; 5) 2 of 3 iron grates warped and wouldn’t seat without rocking – grates replaced under warranty; 6) stainless steel top was bowed towards the front-center (uneven sautéing) – two new tops ordered under warranty, the first arrived damaged, the second was undamaged but did not resolve the bowing, no optional parts available, kept the top, service tech fabricated a support to level the top; 7) now (2 years old), the 2 gas burners most often used are sticking/won’t ignite – we are out-of-warranty, supplier is covering the service call as a courtesy, because they know us by name now and know the “history” on the stove; 8) for no apparent reason, whatsoever, the black enamel even flaked off the VERONA name plate on the front-bottom of the stove – (sigh.

) we’re just ignoring it. Perhaps VERONA has resolved all the aforementioned issues with (new?) model VEFSGE365NSS? Looks like the exact same stove to us. Just do your research before buying this stove.

It looks great, and the electric oven works very well, but you may end up with the same problems we’ve had. US Appliance forwards you to the supplier for resolution of any problems after purchase – they hold no responsibility for the performance of the stove.

The supplier has been great and has worked hard each time to order parts and set up service calls. There was no point in a same-model replacement stove – the problems are VERONA design flaws – the new stove would have the same flaws.

We are stuck with repair calls.

Range is a fine addition to the kitchen, with classic lines and features. The European design offers many cooking options not available on domestic models. Can’t speak to reliability, but a two year warranty inspires confidence.

All is well so far.

It is beautiful to look at. Stunning addition to our newly renovated kitchen. One HUGE issue/surprise which caused me great unhappiness re the double oven – the larger of the two is NOT the same size as a regular 30 inch single oven – it is SMALLER which meant my pots and pans and oven ware do NOT fit.

My turkey pan, gone, cookie sheets, gone. I was very sad by this and no one told me.

This is a nice stove from Italy. After buying it, the functionality was not there. The oven opening was to small for some of my pans and the smaller side oven was not useful at all. Finding pans that would fit was challenging.

Love this range. Larger oven isn’t the size of a regular oven but has been large enough for everything I’ve needed to bake. Cooks wonderfully. Plan to purchase again for next home.

I had very high hopes for this beautiful oven. A friend had the same one with good reviews so we bought one for our new kitchen renovation. The first one wouldn’t hold temperature so they sent me a new one.

The second one had the identical problem so they sent me a new one. The THIRD one now is at least 25° off and burns the things in the back but under cooks the things in the front. Z line has also told me that they will not give me a warranty for this third oven because they only provide a one-year warranty and I am outside of that time frame.

Even though I still don’t have an oven that functions properly. Forget baking in the oven because it is not precise. The range works pretty well except none of the burners have a low enough flame to cook rice without burning it.

Simmering is out. I have connected with a few people locally that also have had a hard time with this oven. It looks pretty and it’s a lot cheaper than some of the other high-end ovens but I would definitely recommend you do NOT buy this machine.

I bought this one month ago and it is a joy to use. It looks fabulous and the functioning of it has gone a long way to restoring my love of cooking. I have a family of 6 and cooking had become a total chore.

This oven heats quickly for a 90cm cooker, has brilliant programmes and perfect, even cooking. Baking, roasting, pizza’s. Love, love, love it.

The cooker is wide and spacious. There burners have the perfect variaty of outputs so you can cook multiple dishes at the same time. The oven heats up super quick and has a precise temp control. However it takes some getting used to with the way controls are set up.

Overall it looks great and does an outstanding job.

After 6 months of delays and frustratingly waiting, finally received and installed this range. Unfortunately it was too good to be true; only 2 burners lit (others did not emit gas nor did ignition light click) and one of the control panels managed to stay on but not responsive, everything else did not work.

Felt like a kid opening her gift on Xmas day only to find that the toy is broken. For such a high end and expensive appliance you would think they would have some kind of QA process to prevent this from happening.

Now we need a technician to come out or have it replaced if can’t be fixed and will have to wait another 6 months!!! So disappointing!.

We somewhat unexpectedly purchased this range after limited availability of our first pick. When the sales person offered this up, we were skeptical, but after reviewing, touching and feeling – came away confident with our purchase.

It fits beautifully in our contemporary kitchen and we receive unending compliments on it. Because of its distinctive look, it is always followed with a series of questions about who made it and whether we love it (in many ways, we do!).

That said, the oven cooling fan for the ovens is outlandishly loud. Like 64 decibels loud – whiny, droning and stays on for a long time. As a benchmark, it is louder than three of four of our exhaust fan settings (48″ industrial Best brand hood).

We have a large kitchen, and it’ll eat into our conversation. I hoped something was wrong and called a technician, they said it was working as designed, but made a (their words) – “very loud whining noise”.

If you have a smaller kitchen, or this type of thing makes your spine tingle, you should think about a different range. If you rarely use the oven, not much to worry about. Burners are solid, light easily and have plenty of range for a light simmer to boiling a large pot.

The medium ones tend to “jump” a little on the flame as you adjust, so, you need to watch your flame. not a big deal. Griddle has been great, we didn’t think we’d use it as much as we have, but it has become a go-to for weekend breakfast, smash burgers and all kinds of other goodies.

Make sure you have a good hood to clean it properly, hot water (steam) cleans it nicely, but you want all that greasy stuff out of your house. Grease will get into the grate area at the rear of the range.

If you’re a neat freak, you’ll be a bit stuck. My only other nit, specific to those buying for design, is that your brass cooktop finishes will patina in all kinds of interesting ways. We are totally fine with it, grease, food, etc have already made their mark on the brass in a very permanent way.

But, if you’re buying this specifically to have the brass look neat and clean. you shouldn’t plan on cooking on your range. Would I buy it again? Probably not. The fan issue alone is too much for something at this price.

We love our new Monogram range. It has better features than any other range in it’s class. With 22,000 BTU inner/outer ring burners, this range has power you can actually use. Our old stove had a 17,000 BTU burner, but the flame mostly just shot out around the pan on high.

The outer ring on our new Monogram range can be turned off so that only the half dollar sized inner ring is used, which is perfect for small sauce pans. So, effectively our six burner stove really has eight burners that we can choose from! Another great burner feature and reason that we decided on the Monogram was the low simmer ability.

Again, it may be the best out there. Monogram seems to have the competition beat from low to high and that’s why we chose this range. We love the oven’s Warm feature. Set it to warm and press start. I use it to warm plates, keep food warm, and dry the cast iron grates after washing.

I wish that GEs Quality Control would have caught a rolled out razor sharp edge where the stainless cooktop meets the black enameled burner pan. As I was cleaning the burner well, the tip of my finger wiped across the out-turned razor sharp edge causing a deep cut.

The price of the ZGP366NTSS is significantly higher than the previous model. We had ordered the previous model, but due to the pandemic, production ceased on that before we could take delivery. Honestly, I am extremely happy to have the features and upgrades of the new model.

Honestly, I would have been disappointed if we had the previous model. However, the price of the ZGP366NTSS makes the Monogram one of the highest priced pro-style ranges on the market. We chose not to get the dual fuel range because of the cost being significantly higher, but without an electric oven, we had to sacrifice a self-clean feature.

The gas range does have a steam clean feature. We’ll see how effective that is when the time comes to clean it. Overall, I am very happy with the performance and the capabilities of the ZGP366NTSS. We have no regrets so far!.

I agree with all the positive comments, and have no reason to repeat them. But I do want to make some less than positive comments about the Android version of the SmartHq app. The app was clearly designed for an Iphone, and then ported to Android with minimal revisions.

The result is that installation is absurdly difficult. Why? Because literally every instruction asks you to do things that you can’t do on an Android phone. The developers were clearly aware of the issue, since every instruction also tells you that if you can’t do what the instruction asks, you should poke around your phone and find some other way of doing it.

If you’re able to install the app, do the firmware upgrade and you’ll discover that you now have an air fryer mode!! The only available instructions are for GE ranges; a Google search will find them.

But ignore the instruction to not preheat the oven, which makes absolutely no sense. If you actually want to have your food look and taste like it was cooked in an air fryer, ignore the GE instructions.

Get an air fryer basket/pan made for an oven (Amazon has a huge selection), and use the broiler rack. Use a lower temperature and shorter cooking time than you would on an air fryer, and check frequently for possible burning.

This range is not only GORGEOUS, but also generates a lot of heat with very little effort. We have had to adjust or temperatures and cooking times because we were obviously cooking with an inferior product previously.

It is effortless and powerful. I just love it and will continue to be a loyal customer! I also bought the matching range hood. Thank you Premium Home House for providing such an amazing service!.

I’ve had my new range for approximately 3 weeks and I love it. It’s solid, the burners are great, and the oven is gorgeous. My experience with customer service before the delivery was excellent, I had lots of questions about the connections and how to install it.

I received quick and clear responses which was very reassuring. Delivery with FedEx Shipping was also excellent. I have been cooking up a storm and really enjoy it. Thank you Premium Home Source.

Well, look at that. my partner, who’s obsessed with perking up our kitchen (that’s his secret hideout when he doesn’t have a business trip), bought this recently. I’m here to find something else but I thought I should leave a review on this as well.

I’ve always known these ranges to have a better quality than other brands since we have a few, so I wasn’t really surprised by the excellent performance and quality of our new range. The first time I used it was more like “I knew it” moment.

I have always wanted an high end stove and I finally bought this 30” Viking because it is the only space I had in my two room apartment’s kitchen. Using this Viking it is like driving a BMW X5 after you have driven an Honda Civic so you have to make adjustments to your cooking attitude like one would do with his/her driving.

The stove’s insulation assures that it never gets hot and after baking there is a blower that kick in and cool the inside of the oven. All together this range presents a feeling of solidity. The reason for the four stars instead of five is that there is a problem with the thermostat that seems to shut the oven off or lower the temp when the food is still in and that’s a major issue.

It doesn’t happen all the times but often enough to cause my distrust but service is on the way; sponge cakes that should cook in 55 minutes at 325 degrees took almost two hours, the batter became over raised and the bottom of such loaves undercooked doesn’t matter what.

My wife baked an appetizer with no problem but right afterwards she placed a Cottage Pie in the oven and after half an hour it was barely warm. She turned the oven off and on again and all was good. When it works is for me, a cooking freak and sometimes professional cook a different experience in cooking but when it acts up it is a pain in the butt.

I bought the dual fuel 5 series range, with electric oven. The oven never correctly set or help temperature. It took 5 service appointments to get it fixed with two different service companies. Quality was not as expected for a range at this price point.

That said, the gas burners work great. The issue is with customer service, but ultimately Viking did follow through. They just have some questionable 3rd party service providers.

We are so sorry that we purchased this range. I have never had any range heat so slowly. Both the gas burners and the oven heat slowly and take forever to cook anything. This was such a problem that I thought there must be something wrong with it.

So a Dacor service technician come out and look at it, but he said that it is working “properly”. If the water is boiling, and I throw spaghetti in the pot, it stops boiling and takes several minutes to get boiling again.

That isn’t working “properly”. I wish I had my old KitchenAid back at a fraction of the price. I should have spent a little extra for a Viking or a Wolf.

Great, as long as I never have to take the doors off again. Directions were not at all helpful and it took many YouTube searches to find a helpful video. Main issue was the hinges on the small oven door aren’t perfectly aligned so some twisting was required to get both engaged.

Otherwise finish is high end and accessories are nice. Everything was well packaged.

Fit and finish was substandard–the oven doors were misaligned and because of this, the vent alignment was off and the unit made a lot of noise when the main oven was on. I should say, when the oven worked.

After two days, the main oven stopped working and then two days later the small oven failed. We are returning the unit and moving to another brand. I was told repeatedly by industry insiders before buying that since Samsung bought Dacor, quality has plummeted and to stay away from the brand.

It appears based on our experience they were right.
