What the reviews add up to

Synthesized from 10 verified reviews

Versatile powerhouse with 10 burners, but cleaning can be a chore.

The Southbend S60DD S-Series 60" Natural Gas Range excels in versatility, making it suitable for a variety of cooking tasks from sautéing to grilling. Reviewers appreciate its ample burner space and the reliability it offers in high-demand environments like hospitals and casual dining. However, many chefs noted that while it performs well under load, the grates can be difficult to clean, particularly in the corners. Additionally, some users mentioned that maintenance costs could be high, especially concerning the convection ovens. Overall, it’s a robust choice for kitchens needing a dependable range with significant cooking capacity.
