I've been using this stove for about a month now and overall I love it. The only things I wish were, 1. That the main oven was a bit bigger....I can't fit my largest cookie sheets in it, and 2. The burners on top are very close. I cant put 2 large pans side by side without them touching.....other than that it is a beautiful stove that cooks very well. Everyone loves it and I am satisfied!!!
I've had it for just over a month, and have baked several cakes using each side.
My biggest complaint is that the oven temperature knobs are very inaccurate. They're marked at about 40 degree intervals, and it makes it rather difficult to estimate the proper setting for the ovens - I'm getting better, and I assume that with time and experience, I'll figure it out, but so far I've burned one pie, and undercooked one cake. (Sigh)
My second quibble - which I didn't think through when I bought the range, is that many of my cookie pans and bake-ware doesn't fit in either oven. I can't fit my 24 cupcake pan, or a half-sheet cake pan in either oven. I do find myself using the smaller oven quite a lot - it's replaced my countertop toaster oven handily.
As far as the range top goes, though, I'm in love. I replaced an electric range, and being able to cook on gas again is a joy. The burners on this light well, and maintain a wonderfully even temperature. I'm contemplating buying a wok to use the center burner properly!
Aesthetically, I can't tell you how many people have expressed "range envy" ...
Great looking and easy to install. Does not come with an appliance cord so be prepared to buy one. Gas burners work perfectly but electric ovens cook a bit unevenly. But still learning as I go. Very satisfied. Best bang for the buck for a dual fuel, 5 burner, 36" range/oven on the market.
Love the looks of this stove but wonder if I made a mistake by not replacing my microwave/oven wall combo. The ovens, though I love the thought of 2 different sizes that can be operated on 2 different temperatures and lengths of time, seem a bit low and make me bend quite a bit to operate them, if I can get them to ignite. Have read the directions and they are in English but they will not lite. Hope I can find someone to help us soon
We have had our Verona for a year now. We wanted a dual fuel range because we love having a gas stove top and an electric oven. A couple things I have read: It scratches easily, yes it does so make sure you use non-abrasive cleaners and no scouring sponges or dry paper towel. Laying a hot cloth on any spills and using a microfiber towel works wonderfully. The burners are made of a chrome plated aluminum product, I cleaned two burners like I did with my old stove, MISTAKE! After soaking in hot water with Oxiclean, the chrome plating is black.
The oven sizes are small, while they will handle most of my cookware, the large oven does not hold our largest cookie sheets,
Some mentioned that the temperature is not easily read: like most ovens the indicator light does go out at what it perceives to be the temperature at which you have set it, no two ovens are the same therefore I always use an oven thermometer.
Conclusion: I love the dual fuel capability, I don't like how careful I have to be when cleaning it, my husband loves cooking with it.

We bought this for our new house and now that we have had it and used it for almost one year I think I can now post a review. First, the oven is spectacular looking. The price is about half of what you should expect to pay for any comparable gas oven of this quality. The dual fuel is great and the top burners are so varied that it makes it convenient for any kind of cooking from a tiny fry pan to a large wok. We love the product and would buy it again in a minute with one caveat. The double oven looks great but for practicality the larger single oven would be the better choice for people who do a lot of roasting and baking. The double oven will not fit any of our larger roasting pans, which for us, is not a problem, but it could be for others. Otherwise we would give this the highest rating possible considering its looks, the quality and the very low comparable price.
We have been using ours for two years now and the pro's outweigh the cons. The large oven is a little small for 20lb Turkeys and such and if you don't use convection or fan it can heat unevenly. For roasts, casseroles, and pasta's it's fine. We use the small oven a lot. It wont take a full size cookie sheet. For the holidays two ovens and five burners were great to have. This oven is not a gourmet range, it's good quality, looks great, works fine, but the performance matches the price. If you are expecting high end performance you will be disappointed, it is not a Viking or Bertazonni, it would be the high end of GE, Kenmore, Samsung, but the low end of the top tier. Basically you get what you pay for. For a family that has spaghetti once a week, Taco's on Tuesday, and Pizza on Saturday nights this will more than fit the bill.
I have owned one for almost two years. The range top is easy to use and has many settings. As for the ovens, I have enjoyed the two sides. It has made it easier for me to cook many things at once. I especially like the fact that it does not sit on the floor so it is easy to clean under unlike my past ranges where I had to pull them out from the wall. For the price, I have been very pleased with this unit.
