Got a kitchen remodel cooking? Don’t miss the August issue of Consumer Reports. The magazine known for its exhaustive research turns the spotlight on cooktops, wall ovens, refrigerators and dishwashers in a 17-page “Ultimate Kitchen Guide.”
Get the latest ratings on professional-style gas ranges (Viking, Thermador, Garland) along with technical details on each model tested, which might help demystify why these stainless-steel stoves cost $4,000 or more. Also included are the magazine’s picks for best-performing regular ranges-the ones that cost less than $1,000. Sections on cooktops and refrigerators also are particularly enlightening.
The August issue is on newsstands now and costs $3.50.
