Capriasca - Titanium Professional 48" Freestanding Dual Fuel Range

've been using my Forno 36" gas range for over six months now, and it's hands down the best upgrade I've made to my kitchen. From the moment I unboxed it, the build quality stood out—solid stainless steel construction with a sleek, professional look that elevates the entire space. It's not just a stove; it's a statement piece that feels premium without the exorbitant price tag. Cooking on this beast is an absolute joy. The dual ovens—one conventional and one steam—offer incredible versatility. I baked a three-layer chocolate cake in the main oven while simmering a hearty beef stew in the steam one, and both came out perfectly moist and evenly cooked, thanks to the precise temperature controls and convection fan. No hot spots, no guesswork—just reliable results every time. The six burners, including two high-BTU power ones, heat up lightning-fast and give me restaurant-level sear on steaks or a gentle simmer for sauces. Cleanup? A breeze with the continuous cast-iron grates and self-cleaning cycles that actually work without filling the house with smoke. What I love most is how it fits seamlessly into daily life. It's energy-efficient, quiets down to a whisper when not in use, and the soft-close doors add that thoughtful touch. If you're tired of finicky appliances, the Forno 36" is a game-changer—durable, feature-packed, and backed by a solid warranty. Five stars; I can't recommend it enough!

My initial reaction? Very impressive! It hasn't been hooked up yet so more on performance later. My first impression is that the range is built well. Everything fits together well. The burners and grates are extremely solid, heavy pieces. The wire racks are just as impressive and glide smoothly. Supplying 3 per oven is generous. The metal lighted control knobs, weight of the doors action: extremely nice. I did a lot of research before I bought and this range has more power and better features than the other imported brands and similar features to the domestic brands... for half the price. All these features, power, and substance in most areas at an incredibly low price mean that there must be cost cutting somewhere. The stainless sheetmetal panels clearly feel like a lighter gage than the domestics (compare the overall weight to the others) which may dent easier. Also when I unpackaged it I found several screws at the bottom of the box. I also found several loose screws on the range. It is assembled with sheetmetal screws and many were stripped out and could not be tightened fully. Maybe a switch to rivets would be better? I am very impressed overall. This is a beautiful well built range. I love it so far.
