fair mid range gas unit
By Schar
Purchased this range as an upgrade from a GE gas range that was difficult to use in FL heat due to heat loss. This certainly resolved the issue, looks very nice, works well at all burners. However, the unit was delivered with defect in computer panel. Replacement took a few weeks but was handled under warranty and the unit still worked well. Then at installation, computer panel was found not work with oven light. New replacement panel took a month to arrive. Still, the unit worked fine without the light. After less than a full year, black enamel surface started to show discoloration from lack of even shine. This was very modest at first, but has turned into a big visual defect as it starts to appear around burners and along heated surfaces. The surface was always cleaned after use with non abrasive cleaner (and it was easy to clean compared to 8 year old GE) and I am certain that now the discoloration will continue wherever there are food spills and heated surfaces. Looks terrible since it appears as though the surface is unclean. I would not recommend this unit nor any Frigidaire product that uses the same enamel style surface top. Customer care at Frigidaire indicates that surface defects are cosmetic and not covered by warranty and they had no resolution for the issue. I feel that a $1,000 range should look good with proper care for the life of the range, certainly a lot more than one year.

GE Profile quality range at a great price!
By Basher's Review
I purchased this Frigidaire Professional 30" gas range (FPGF3081KF) to replace my parents' aging GE stove which barely survived the Thanksgiving holiday. We are a family of french cooks, including a professional executive chef with international cooking experience. For us, a good quality stove is important in any household. Prior to my purchase, I set my requirements based on the following criteria:
Stove Requirements:
* 30-in width, free standing
* Middle burner w/cast-iron griddle/grill
* Gas burners
* Convection oven
* Warming or baking drawer
* Stainless
* Reliable brand for daily heavy use
* Budget under $1400
Initially, I was focusing on the GE Profile series. A close friend owns a GE Profile with the specs listed above and paid around $1900 for his. He has had it for 4 years and has been extremely pleased with it. Although I really liked the look and capabilities of the GE Profile series, the model I wanted was out of my price range. During a visit at my local BestBuy, I came across the Frigidaire Gallery and Professional series, and was impressed with the quality of the ranges. I began my research and was impressed with many of the reviews.
Over the Black Friday weekend, I found a GE Profile floor model at BestBuy for $1299, and this Frigidaire Professional, brand new, for $1053. Comparing apples to apples, the GE Profile was not worth the extra $246, so I decided on the Frigidaire.
Review - Positive Notes:
(We have only had this stove for just over a week, but have used it heavily and have tested all of the features. So far, this stove has passed every test with flying colors.)
* The overall impression is that this is a heavy duty and professional quality stove. Nothing feels cheap.
* The continuous grates allows better control of the pots and pans on the stove-top, and seem to be of high quality.
* The burners are very responsive and burn at a much higher intensity than our previous stove.
* The burner knobs are made of metal (instead of plastic), which gives the stove that added level of professional quality.
* The stainless steel finish is not a fingerprint magnet. The black stove top hides dirt when cooking, and is easy to clean.
* The PowerPlus burner drastically decreases the time it takes us to boil water. The high intensity of this burner works very well with larger pots.
* The customizable oven racks, including the slide-out feature of the bottom rack are really useful! Having that bottom rack slide out about 6 inches towards you as you open the oven door really helps reduce the chance of getting burnt.
* Warming drawer is an added bonus, and kept a roasted chicken well heated at the highest setting, without drying it out.
* The center burner with w/cast-iron grill allowed us to cook skewered steak to perfection!
* The oven and timer controls are easy to follow, once you've glanced at the manual.
Review - Negative Notes:
* When using the oven at high temperatures, some of the burner knobs tend to get really hot. Although I did not burn myself figuring this out, it's worth noting for next time.
* The oven temperature pre-sets buttons (Pizza, Nuggets) were less useful than I anticipated. The Pizza button is preset at a temperature of 425 degrees, which is not high enough for pizza. To properly cook a freshly-made pizza on a pizza stone, the oven needs to be set at 500 or higher.
* As other users have indicated, the largest burner (17,000/500 BTU), does not have much mid-range. It's either very intense, or very low. I didn't see this necessarily as a negative, because we were able to adjust our cooking according to the stove's capabilities.
Overall, I am very content with this purchase. Not only did I stay below my budget, but I ended up with a professional grade stove which more than serves our purpose. Let's just hope my positive feelings remain the same in a year from now!

Very disappointed with back control panel design which melts & Frigidaire customer service shameful
By MARIE ROVITO
Back control panel featured open design when purchased in 2011---newer design has panel covered---my panel melted, when I complained to Frigidaire customer service, they told me that no one else complained & that there is no recall. So as long as there is no recall its considered to be because of misuse with pots. So the new design is supposed to be a coincidence, reeeeally! Won't by a Frigdaire product again!!!
