The Best 60-Inch Professional Ranges for 2026

You will have a tough time shopping for a 60-inch range.

If you are lucky, you may walk into a showroom and find one on display.

We carry two per store, which limits what most buyers can see in person. It is also a confusing product to buy and an even tougher one to deliver.

You have plenty of choices but a limited number of brands and fuel types. Miele, JennAir, SKS (Signature Kitchen Suite), Monogram, and Fisher & Paykel do not make a 60-inch range.

Spend some time assessing how you cook and which features you will actually use. That is the only reliable way to narrow the field.

This guide compares five premium 60-inch range brands: Wolf, BlueStar, Thermador, Viking, and La Cornue. It covers dual fuel versus all-gas options and each brand's standout features. The key takeaway: choose based on your cooking style and local service availability, not just specs.

What to Know Before You Shop

Before comparing specific models, understand the variables that drive performance and price. These are the same questions we walk customers through at our Yale showrooms.

Dual Fuel vs. All Gas

Dual fuel means a gas rangetop with an electric oven. All gas means a gas rangetop with a gas oven.

Electric ovens bake more evenly. Gas ovens retain more moisture and are better for roasting. The infrared broiler in an all-gas range delivers more direct, intense heat than an electric broiler.

Dual fuel is generally 10% to 25% more expensive and typically includes self-cleaning ovens. Gas ovens may or may not be self-cleaning depending on the brand. Thermador gas ovens self-clean; BlueStar, Wolf, and Viking all-gas ovens do not.

Only La Cornue offers both electric and gas ovens together in a single 60-inch range.

💡Pro Tip: If you like to broil, consider a dual-fuel range with a grill. The cooktop grill is an infrared burner on the surface, not in the oven, so you still get the performance of infrared heat without giving up your electric oven.

Open Burners vs. Sealed Burners

Sealed burners have a removable cap and are easier to clean. Open burners offer higher output and are more common in commercial kitchens.

Open-burner ranges can be disassembled and washed in the sink. BlueStar and Capital use open burners. Wolf, Viking, Thermador, La Cornue, and most others use sealed burners.

Burner Output (BTUs)

BTUs (British Thermal Units) measure the power output of a burner. Open burners typically offer higher ratings because they allow more oxygen to flow around the burner.

However, many sealed burners have closed that gap significantly. Burners in this category typically range from 15,000 to 25,000 BTU.

BlueStar offers 25,000 BTU sealed burners. Hestan offers 30,000 BTU and Wolf makes a 35,000 BTU wok burner, but neither of those configurations is available in a 60-inch range.

Cooktop Options

Your cooktop layout will shape how you cook every day. Choose deliberately, not by impulse.

Griddle

Griddles are available across all brands in 12-inch or 24-inch (double) widths. They run on gas, infrared gas, or electric depending on the range.

Wolf's griddle uses a 15,000 BTU infrared gas burner for intense, direct heat. Thermador's is electric at 1,630 watts, which heats more slowly and less consistently.

An integrated thermostatically controlled griddle will always outperform a standalone griddle placed over burners.

Grill

Wolf's 16,000 BTU infrared grill leads the category on output and ease of cleaning. Infrared burns off residue, reducing scrubbing.

BlueStar and Viking offer gas-fed grills, which are easier to temperature-control but harder to clean. Thermador uses an electric grill with briquettes at the bottom to boost heat.

French Top

A French top is the opposite of a thermostatically controlled griddle. The burner sits inside and radiates heat outward, so temperatures vary across the surface.

You can cook in different pans at different temperatures simultaneously, rather than placing food directly on a flat surface. BlueStar, La Cornue, and Wolf offer French tops.

Convection Systems Explained

Convection is the single biggest factor in how evenly your oven bakes. Each brand on this list approaches it differently.

Wolf VertiCross Convection

Wolf's dual-fuel range uses blowers instead of fans. Blowers move more air, more evenly, which produces more consistent baking results.

This is the same reason high-output range hoods use blowers rather than fans.

Viking Vari-Speed Dual Flow Convection

Viking's dual-fuel range features the largest convection fan in the industry at 8.5 inches, operating bi-directionally for more even airflow.

BlueStar Convection

New in the Platinum models, BlueStar's improved convection system circulates heat continuously for even, consistent baking from edge to edge.

It's a real upgrade over standard convection, holding temperature steadily so racks bake at the same rate top to bottom.

La Cornue Natural Convection

La Cornue's vaulted oven design creates natural convection without a fan.

Air circulates through the arched oven cavity evenly and does not dry out food the way fan-driven systems can.

Special Features

Steam Ovens

Steam adds moisture and preserves nutrients that conventional baking methods remove.

You can use a steam oven for almost anything, including proteins, vegetables, rice, and baked goods.

Thermador includes a steam oven on one of its 60-inch models in place of a second standard oven.

Warming Drawer

Thermador's warming drawer keeps food warm for up to three hours without dehydrating it the way a microwave does.

This is especially useful if you cook ahead and serve later.

Wi-Fi and Guided Cooking

Smart range features have improved since their introduction around 2015, but remain largely supplemental.

With Wi-Fi, you can turn the oven on and off remotely and change cooking cycles.

Thermador's HomeConnect app also includes recipe access.

Wolf's smart features go further, allowing you to input food type and doneness preference, after which the range calculates time, temperature, and rack placement through its Gourmet guided cooking system.

Custom Finishes

If stainless steel is not your vision, three brands offer meaningful color and trim customization.

• Viking: 20 colors and finish options

• La Cornue: More than 50 colors and 8 trims, with up to 8,000 total color and configuration combinations

• BlueStar: 1,000 color options and 10 trim options, with the ability to match any custom color

The Best 60-Inch Professional Ranges for 2026

You have five brands to choose from in 2026, and each one is good at something different. None of them are right for every kitchen. Below is what each brand does well, where it falls short, and who it suits best.

La Cornue Château 150

The La Cornue Château 150 is completely customizable and still handmade in their French factory.

In terms of finish and craftsmanship, the Château is the most elegant range available.

You are buying a piece of heirloom furniture as much as a stove.

Standout Feature

Unlike every other range on this list, the Château comes with both a vaulted gas oven for roasting and a vaulted electric oven for baking.

Both broilers are electric. The vaulted design creates natural convection, which produces more even heat and keeps more moisture in your food.

Configurations

You can choose from nine different cooktop configurations, including a French top, griddle, grill, max-power burner, Teppanyaki module, or induction module.

The range is available in more than 8,000 colors and configurations.

Burner Output

• 17,000 BTU front burner, 22,000 BTU power burner

• Teppanyaki surface: 140 to 482 degrees

• Induction element: 2,100 to 3,700 watts

• Lava rock grill: 14,500 BTU max

• 7,500 BTU cast iron French plaque with variable temperature, hottest in the center

Oven & Convection

Natural convection with a vaulted gas oven for roasting and a vaulted electric oven for baking. Electric broilers in both ovens.

Custom Finishes

More than 50 colors and 8 trims, with up to 8,000 total color and configuration combinations.

Known Issues

Two significant drawbacks: the price is roughly three times that of other ranges on this list, and availability has historically been poor.

Key Specs

• Handmade in France

• Nine cooktop configurations, including French top, grill, griddle, Teppanyaki, and induction

• Natural convection with vaulted gas and electric ovens

• Electric broilers in both ovens

Pros & Cons

Wolf DF60650CG/S/P and GR606CG

Wolf is an American-made brand with more than 80 years of experience manufacturing high-end cooking products.

Sub-Zero purchased the brand about 20 years ago and moved production to Wisconsin.

Wolf is well known for its professional look, cooking precision, and a consistent 300 BTU simmer delivered by its dual-stacked burners.

Like Sub-Zero, Wolf ranges are also known for reliability and strong after-sales support.

Standout Feature

The dual-fuel Wolf has the only twin-blower convection system in this category.

The VertiCross system uses twin blowers to move air evenly throughout the oven, eliminating hot and cold spots.

The dual-fuel models also include smart functionality and the Wolf Gourmet guided cooking system, which offers 50 preset recipes and calculates time, temperature, and rack position based on your input.

Configurations

You have five 60-inch range choices in the Wolf lineup: three in dual fuel (DF60650CG/S/P) and two in all gas (GR606CG).

The cooktop surface is the same across grill and griddle configurations, but the dual-fuel burners are more powerful and thermostatically controlled. The dual-fuel configuration costs approximately $5,000 more than the all-gas version.

Burner Output

• Dual fuel: 9,200 BTU (1), 15,000 BTU (2), 18,000 BTU (2), and 20,000 BTU power burner

• All gas: Six burners at 15,000 BTU with one at 9,100 BTU

• Grill (both): 16,000 BTU infrared

• Griddle (both): 15,000 BTU

• Simmer (both): Consistent 300 BTU simmer on all burners via dual-stacked design

Oven & Convection

The dual-fuel oven uses Wolf's VertiCross twin-blower convection, includes illuminated knobs, a full-color LCD screen, self-cleaning, delay start, temperature probe, and Gourmet guided cooking.

The griddle, grill, and French top are infrared gas rather than electric, which means higher temperatures, better response, and easier cleaning.

The all-gas Wolf is a more straightforward range with all-dial control, single convection, and a manual-clean oven.

The primary advantage of going all gas is the infrared broiler; gas ovens are also better for roasting.

Custom Finishes

Available in stainless steel, powder-coated black, or white. Dual fuel offers five knob color options (including classic red); all gas offers three.

Known Issues

The all-gas Wolf is somewhat underpowered (max 15,000 BTU) and offers only single convection. The design has not been refreshed in some time.

Key Specs (Dual Fuel)

BlueStar BSDF6010, BSPGR6010B, and RNB3010

BlueStar traces its roots to Prizer-Painter Stove Works, founded in Reading, Pennsylvania in 1880.

The company manufactured residential and commercial ranges, water heaters, furnaces, and heating stoves for over a century.

In 2002, Prizer introduced the BlueStar line: restaurant-quality ranges designed for the residential market.

Standout Feature

BlueStar offers the highest customization and the highest burner output in this category.

All 60-inch BlueStar ranges can be ordered in 1,000 color options plus 10 trim options.

Seventy-five percent of BlueStar ranges sold at Yale are in color. If you want something beyond stainless steel, BlueStar is an excellent option.

Configurations

BlueStar offers ten configurations across three series: dual fuel (BSDF6010), Platinum (BSPGR6010B ), and RNB (RNB3010).

You can choose from double grills, double griddles, French tops, all-burner layouts, and more.

Series Comparison

Burner Output

• Dual Fuel and Platinum: 25,000 BTU front burners and 18,000 BTU back burners, all X-8 sealed. The X-8 burners are 8-point star-shaped, with 152 ports and a 20-inch circumference for powerful, even heat across any size cookware. Every burner also drops to a 500 BTU warm setting, giving you the widest working range from high-heat sear to gentle warm.

• RNB: 22,000 BTU max open burners, with integrated grill, griddle, or French top, plus an integrated wok burner.

Oven & Convection

The dual-fuel oven (BSDF6010) is electric, better for baking, with a 7-inch touch screen, quick-start oven with three-touch operation, additional cooking modes, express 90-minute cleaning cycle, and temperature probe.

The Platinum all-gas (BSPGR6010B) has been fully reimagined. It now runs an improved convection system that circulates heat continuously for even distribution and consistent results, which is new to the Platinum line.

The re-engineered oven preheats in 10 minutes, adds four halogen lights for better interior visibility, and includes a commercial-quality 1,850-degree infrared broiler.

Full-extension glide racks come standard, and the oven fits a full 18x26-inch commercial sheet pan. The all-gas oven retains more moisture, making it better for roasting.

The RNB (RNB3010) features a fast preheat oven and 1,850-degree infrared broiler, and accommodates a full 18x26-inch commercial baking pan.

Custom Finishes

1,000 color options for knob and range finishes, plus 10 different trim options. Custom color matching available.

Known Issues

The all-gas models (Platinum and RNB) are not self-cleaning and offer no timing capabilities. The RNB has dial-only control and standard convection rather than the Platinum's improved convection system.

Key Specs

• Fast preheat oven (10 minutes on the Platinum)

• 1,000+ color options and 7 trim choices

• Ovens fit an 18x26-inch commercial baking pan

Pros & Cons

Pros: Exceptional burner power; improved convection on the Platinum; commercial baking pan capacity; infrared broiler (Platinum and RNB); extensive color customization.

Cons: All-gas models are not self-cleaning; no timing capabilities on all-gas models; RNB runs standard convection rather than the Platinum's improved system.

Best for (Dual Fuel and Platinum): Someone who wants a real commercial-style range with high output and the option to customize with color. The dual fuel is best for bakers; the Platinum is best for roasters who want improved convection and infrared broiling.

Best for (RNB): Someone who wants commercial-style power and simplicity, with dial-only control and the option to add a grill, griddle, or French top. Note that the RNB does not include the Platinum's improved convection, self-cleaning, or timing capabilities.
