How S#itty can you get:
I just looked at my Whirlpool Gold Glasstop stove and while the Stainless is pretty cheap it does not appear glued on. However the overall build seems very thin compared to my 1992 KitchenAid KUDS-23 dishwasher or my FL Speed Queens. But then most modern appliances do when compared to something that is built right. While this causes no problem with the machines performance it raises the question of what other corners have been cut. I'm sure there are plenty. I will be looking at commercial ranges for a future house. I'm used to cooking on them any way.

well, many manufacturers, like Frigidaire, have placed a fake name on their products to claim its something that its not....
'Professional Grade' or 'Commercial Duty' for example....that is just a gimmick.... that alone is a heads up to how cheap or BOL a machine is.... they toss a badge on there, and people jump thinking their buying something better than the standard base units..... if you walked into a true commercial kitchen, units like this are not what your going to find.... even though Dacor is not the best, it was built heavy, with true stainless panels on all sides....also with a price tag of $5000.00...not the best in reliability, but I did like the feel and performance of it.... | ||

I try to discourage people from buying commercial.
One of the things I tell people is that commercial ranges are more difficult to keep clean. The cast iron grates/burner bibs will never look brand new once they get some use. Plus if you do not like cleaning ovens, you're done. As JohnL said in previous posts, 'it's not the range, gas, electric, pots and pans that make your food taste any better. It is the person preparing it and their skills' . Or something to that effect. | ||
