Frigidaire ovens were mentioned in the Reddit threads, but users advised against choosing them due to their tendency to break down more frequently than other brands. The Frigidaire Professional 30 in.' Front Control Gas Range with Air Fry was one of the options discussed in a Reddit thread.

High-End Options: Thermador, BlueStar, and Wolf

Thermador, BlueStar, and Wolf ovens were mentioned as higher-end options in the Reddit discussions. Thermador was highly rated by Consumer Reports and recommended in a thread discussing the best kitchen range/stove. One user chose a Thermador range and Bosch dishwasher due to their preference for a more analog range and matching appliances. BlueStar and Wolf ovens were recommended for their performance advantages, but users acknowledged their higher price and maintenance costs may not be ideal for everyone's budget.
