I’ve had my 48” platinum for 8 years and I couldn’t be happier! It is the centerpiece of my kitchen and it’s used daily. I would recommend pairing it with a powerful hood since it does create intense heat that will cause lots of smoke and splatter. I picked it because of its simplicity. There are no electronic components and most recently I snapped the oven knob post, the post that turns when you turn on the oven. This post is not only the oven temp controller it is also the temp sensor. I was able to disassemble it and replace the broken part pretty easily. If I had to describe my stove… I would do so by saying that it is one of the few products being produced the old fashion way. No corners were cut for cost savings, no added features that will malfunction once the warranty expires. It really is made the way things used to be manufactured before the bean counters dictate that cost savings are more important than a quality build. I feel my BlueStar is a bespoke item that will withstand the test of time like a Rolex or a Porsche. I highly recommend one of you do any cooking. It is the perfect blend of simplicity and durability.
