I chose this range because it was the most affordable 36" model I could find. I checked consumer reports, all kinds of comparison websites, and even called Thor Kitchen customer support before purchasing. I love this range and so does my whole family. It looks so professional and works like a dream. When it was installed, two of the igniters did not work properly and they sent out a repairman immediately. The repairman told me that all of these professional style ranges are made the same so if I bought one and paid less than Viking and Thermador prices, I had done well. I feel like I did extremely well. My first baking project turned out perfect and the cook top is fantastic. This is a great value. Thanks to Amazon for listing it.
I was very wary of this range because of the few negative reviews, but the looks and 2 year warranty won me over. I am so happy with my purchase. It looks awesome and works wonderfully. You do have to make sure the eyes are on correctly for the burners to light. I have had no issues and have been using it pretty much daily for the last month and a half. Cooked 2 huge gumbos and countless pies over the holidays and it worked like a dream. No complaints.
Update: We have had the stove for 8 months and use it daily. We still are very happy with our purchase and have not had any issues.
I have written only two fan letters in my entire adult life. I am now a senior citizen and this is the second. I am beside myself with praise and gratitude for the Thor Kitchen HRH3618U, 36” ProStyle 6-burner gas stove. I really mean it. I am recovering from disappointment over its clone, a Viking 6-burner. The Viking was my first foray into “manly” and “industrial” stoves and stove tops. It was all stainless steel, had pronounced grates, and my guests would go “Ahhh!”. (It was known to cost a lot of money and it had them fooled.) In fact, the ignition was temperamental (matches were an important accessory), the flames were poorly controlled and uneven from burner to burner, and the stove top never stayed perfectly level (please, the stove was mounted on a slab floor).
Now, into my new dream house comes the Thor Kitchen range and oven. Half the price but three times the quality of the Viking. It is a substantial looking piece of “industrial” art: Although it has the same looks as the Viking, it somehow has more gravitas. (Check them both out and you will see what I mean.) It stays as level as a pool table and its burners have a precision flame. Moreover, it has this “concentric burner” thing on half of the burners which puts a flame within a flame and allows really slight and sustainable simmers. But it gets better! I got sloppy with a pot roast last night and made a horrible mess on the inside of the oven. This is when I decided I had to write a letter of thanks to the manufacturers. It’s really easy to clean! The floor of the oven comes right out with no fuss whatsoever and can be popped into the sink for a proper de-gunking. My mood went from black to bright in the 10 minutes it took to restore everything to new again. True story.
Frankly, if I had known about the Thor Kitchen before, the names Viking and Wolf would just bring a sad-and-knowing shake of my head. Well done to all of you. I am a very happy camper. And I can see that I am going to be for a very long time.
I researched for months and and beyond happy with this stove. Burners are large and flame is perfect. Love the stove grates! I can easily move pots from one burner to another! And the oven is HUGE!
We are enjoying it , we love it.
We are Very happy.
Thank you!!

Over one year in and we have never regretted this purchase. Massive bang for the buck and so far it has been great. Through my own ignorance I didn't realize that the oven was gas. Getting used to that but since we have an electric wall oven, no worries. Very high end look and great quality of construction. Pull the trigger and save thousands over Viking, Sub Zero, etc..........
Looks great, works good, seems like the flame could be a little closer to the pots, but heats up fast. Oven and. Rouler work great!!
It’s great overall!
Just to be clear, I didn't purchase through Amazon.
I bought it from a local appliance store.
I have a bit worry since I never hear this brand when the sales rep recommended Thor Kitchen to us, but I'm glad that we bought this unit and save couple grands for a 60" TV with Bose Home Theater.
I was struggle whether should I get 6 burner version or the griddle version.
My wife made the final decision to get the 6 burner version.
Happy wife happy life, cannot say no to this rule.
As I mentioned on the comment to another review, mine does have a defect burner that cause clicking noise.
The service department sent a guy to replace the burner for me and I have no issue since then for almost 2 months.
The burners are very powerful compare to my old GE range.
I think this unit does look very similar to some of the old Viking ranges.
My friends who visit my house got confused with Viking because I remove the logo.
Looks great. It gives the kitchen the professional look you get from more expensive brands. I did not buy from Amazon because there was a glitch with processing and I wanted it delivered for Thanksgiving. It arrived on time, and so far has been performing to my expectation. Give it four stars because I item i received has grates as the one shown now on the Amazon site. The picture I looked at had a different grates (flat) that i would have preferred.
