Anyone with any experience with a Bertazzoni Range?

I want a 30" gas range with no electronics. These look good and seem to be priced right. I've been to one person's house who has one and they say they love it. They have a bunch of mixed to shitty reviews online, though.

Anyone here with any insight or experience with these?

They're nice-looking, and I think they're fine enough for the pricing point and light-duty cooking. If you're the average American who doesn't use the stove much, you'll be fine. But I think durability is an issue with them...and the ovens seem to perform especially poorly.

AT that pricing point, look at NXR.
(I'm a Bluestar owner.)

I had one and loved it, then we sold our place.

Not good if you bake as the I've didn't have a proofing temp

We have one. It's legit. No temp gauge though.

I'm wondering what components would have durability issues from being used too much.

I have one. You’ll need an oven thermometer. They are solid but the convection fan is loud. The center wok burner is my favorite feature.

Former NXR owner here. After about 3.5 years of medium to heavy use almost everything started to break. Griddle, oven burned twice, incessant clicking noises.

Cut losses a few months ago and went with a Blue Star.

Medium duty user of a Bertanzzoni here.

Love it--as mentioned, you'll need an over thermometer.

My folks have a 48 inch Bertazzoni Heritage Range, and they, along with my slap-arse brother, are heavy, heavy users (my brother is a chef).

Overall, they regret the purchase. It looks great, but they have had numerous issues with the oven. Trouble lighting, trouble staying on, etc. Burners are fine, but then again, they are burners - I am a pretty heavy user of my crappy gas range, and I do not have much of a problem with burners (however, the burners are very hot and for some reason don't have a great range, but that just takes some getting used to). The other issue is that if you need to repair the range/oven it is expensive to get parts and a decent repairman.

If you are a light to medium user, or do not often use your oven, I think you will be fine. But frankly, they are kind of the stereotypical Italian luxury product - high performance, great design, but finicky.

Buy once, cry once. I just bought a MagiMix food processor (home RoboCoupe).

I'm a heavy user, and I've replaced one burner igniter on the BS, as well as the oven igniter. I think my house cleaner is a little spray-happy, as both igniter failures happened after she "ultra cleaned" the stove. But, since it's a BS, I was easily able to repair myself with nothing more than a screwdriver. Even the oven igniter was pretty easy. (The stove actually came with two spare burner igniters.)
