Hi this is John with Designer Appliances.
For years, Bertazzoni Ranges have been our top pick for customers seeking a high-end
look at a reasonable price point.
However, with over 50 models to choose from, selecting the right Bertazzoni range could
seem like a daunting task.
In this video, we'll go over the brand new features Bertazzoni has to offer in 2019 as
well as give you the information you need to select the perfect range for your kitchen
and lifestyle.
But before we dive in, it’s important to note that Bertazzoni’s new design approach
focuses on maximizing the use of space while maintaining its seamless visual integration
within your kitchen aesthetic.
So, to achieve this seamless built-in look, Bertazzoni ranges have a counter depth width
and a newly standard island trim, replacing their original 4-inch back guard.
They’ve also responded to popular demand in the North American market for larger oven
capacities, which we will talk about later.
At the same time, their commitment remains to making everyday cooking a pleasure, whatever
the size of the meal or the kitchen or the skill level of the cook.
When shopping for a Bertazzoni Range, there are four main things to consider, and that's
style, features, fuel type and size.
Bertazzoni offers two different styles of ranges and that's their Professional Series
and their Master Series.
The professional series features Italian-inspired control knobs.
The entire control panel is now framed with beveled edges adding a modern three dimensional
look and the oven handle matches the overall European look and feel of the range.
Professional series ranges now feature a professional High Gloss finish in red, yellow, orange,
white and black or you can choose stainless steel.
The master series was designed to compete against American pro style ranges.
The control knobs here are beefier and have a commercial look and feel, while the oven
has a substantial pro style handle.
Master series ranges are only available in stainless steel or you can upgrade to matte
black or matte white for an additional $500.
Getting a matte finish on your range is one of the hottest, modern design trends of 2019
and will elevate your kitchens overall aesthetic, surpassing the stainless steel standard.
But unfortunately with the master series, if you had your heart set on a custom color
like orange or red, you’ll have to go with the Professional series design instead.
When it comes to choosing between professional and master series it all comes down to personal
preference.
To appeal to a wider customer base and price point, Bertazzoni offers their ranges with
a basic feature set as well as a deluxe feature set.
We’ve made it easy to filter between both on our website.
First off, both series cooktops offer a 19,000 BTU burner which has the fastest boiling time
at under 6 minutes, beating out other luxury brands.
Also, to meet consumer demands, the beautifully designed temperature gauge is now available
on all models.
When you upgrade to the deluxe version, you’ll get brass burners on your cooktop which are
more durable and last longer, they’re also better at evenly distributing heat.
If you choose a dual fuel or induction range, upgrading to deluxe will give you a self clean
mode.
Please not that self clean is not available on the all gas range, basic or deluxe.
On deluxe, Bertazzoni includes an easy glide shelf that smoothly pulls in and out.
You'll also notice that the deluxe version has a soft closed door, this is something
you'll definitely notice with day-to-day use.
As for oven capacity mentioned earlier, Bertazzoni has removed the storage area under their oven
to increase the oven capacity by 35-40%, making it the tallest, largest cavity in its class.
To support this extra large oven design, Bertazzoni also added a dual fan convention to provide
optimal heat distribution allowing you to bake your casseroles and cakes evenly.
This new oven design also boasts a full width, extra powerful infrared broiler, allowing
you to get that perfect grill on your meat, chicken or fish.
Choosing a fuel type will be largely dependent upon what you have available at your home.
Bertazzoni offers ranges in gas, dual fuel and induction.
A gas range, as you'd expect, has a gas cooktop and a gas oven.
A dual fuel range will have a gas cooktop and an electric oven.
Electric ovens tend to create more consistent even heat which is important for baking, so
if you bake a lot we do recommend going with the dual fuel version.
Also remember, the deluxe dual fuel range includes a self clean function which may be
important to some people.
The drawback to a dual fuel range, if you also need to have a dedicated electric line
run to power the oven if you don’t already have one.
Bertazzoni now offers an all-electric range, which provides gas like performance if you
don't have access to gas at home.
Bertazzoni offers their ranges in four different sizes: 24 inch, 30-inch, 36 inch and 48 inch.
And finally, if all these features weren’t incentive enough, Bertazzoni offers a 2 year
in-home warranty.
As you can see, selecting a Bertazzoni range isn’t as daunting as it may seem at first.
However, if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call, we’d be happy to assist
you.
