Electrolux ICON 36-Inch 6-Burner Gas Rangetop E36GC75DSS

Date Published: 6/30/05

Sure to be a hit in the United States, the ICON E36GC75DSS is a sturdy commercial-style rangetop from Electrolux that brings exceptional value to the crowded arena of luxury kitchen appliances.

Priced right, the ICON E36GC75DSS offers six gas burners in an impressive, heavy stainless frame. One of the most versatile in its class, this 36-inch wide top has a marvelous cooking range. Each of the six burners has its own distinctive range of Btu. The lowest output burner can be adjusted to settings as low as 5,000 Btu--perfect for simmering delicate sauces and gentle soups or slowly melting fine chocolate. Packing a punch of up to 17,000 Btu, the high output Power Burner does a fine job of quickly searing meats, sizzling a stir-fry, or bringing water to a very rapid boil.

Cleanup is easy thanks to sealed burners topped with ceramic glass. The large, professional-style knobs are clearly marked, making it easy to quickly achieve exactly the right flame for every dish.

Fairly new to the U.S. market, this cooktop is one of a collection of new stainless kitchen appliances brought here from Europe. The design is exceptional, while the performance and value are sure to make other manufacturers stand up and take note. Even the accessories are included. A griddle, wok ring, and simmer plate are all shipped with the unit.

Availability of of the Electrolux ICON E36GC75DSS is rapidly expanding across the United States. You'll find this model at select Sears stores and other retailers nationwide. Since it is part of a new collection of products, make sure service is available in your region before purchase.

Pros: Excellent value, for beautifully designed product, solid build, versatile range
Cons: New to market, lacks service track record
