Looking for a luxury range for your kitchen, but feeling a little bit of sticker shock when browsing your appliance options? THOR, maker of high-end ranges, cooktops and other kitchen appliances may have the solution to this renovation dilemma. This is great news whether you’re looking to give your kitchen a complete facelift or just upgrade your kitchen’s range. THOR has introduced a new affordable line of ranges called the THOR A-Series line of range. These budget-friendly high-end ranges come in both gas and electric options with two size choices in 30-inch and 36-inch widths.
Let’s take a deeper dive into the features and functions of this line. As you’ll see the specifications are very similar to ranges that cost thousands of dollars more. This makes the THOR A-Series a savvy choice for buyers looking to enjoy all of the perks of a luxury range without having to invest thousands to get it.
High-Powered Burners
The first thing on many shoppers' range wishlists is a powerful cooktop. The THOR A-series definitely delivers. In the gas models, for instance, you can enjoy the full power of 12,000 BTU burners. The 30-inch gas model comes with three of these burners along with a smaller 9,000 BTU burner, perfect for melting chocolate and other controlled heat needs.The 36-inch gas range features six burners with a high-powered 18,000 BTU burner that allows you to boil water extra-quickly and heat pans in a snap. Everyone has a favorite go-to burner and this super-powered burner will probably easily fit that role.
Likewise, the THOR electric ranges deliver equally great power with the 30-inch electric range equipped with four cooktop elements ranging from 3000 to 1200 watts to match your cooking needs. Similarly, the electric 36-inch THOR model features five elements with the same radiant cooktop power.
Large Oven Capacity
Beyond a powerful cooktop, the next major feature to consider in a range is the oven. THOR has great news for bakers or home chefs. The THOR A-series models feature a convection oven with a commercial-grade fan and a large capacity oven (4.55 cu. Ft. for the 30-inch model and 6.0 cu. ft. for the 36-inch range). Both the gas and electric options come equipped with a large oven window. Not only does this give a luxury aesthetic to each of the sizes of ranges, but it also makes cooking and baking easier, eliminating the need to open the oven door to check on what’s cooking.
Multiple Cooking Modes
One popular feature among luxury ranges is their multiple cooking modes, which makes meal prep a breeze. Typically, you’ll have to pay thousands of dollars for such precision cooking, but the THOR A-Series models all feature multiple cooking modes. These modes include bake, broil, and pizza, covering all of the basics for your baking and cooking needs.
Luxury Range Touches
Let’s start with the stainless steel construction and sleek lines. With just a glance, the THOR A-Series looks like it should be found in a celebrity chef’s kitchen or a five-star restaurant. On the gas models, you’ll enjoy continuous cast iron grates, which can accommodate all of your various sized cookware while being easy to clean. Both the gas and electric options feature LED displays and stainless steel knobs. The addition of a storage drawer is also appreciated, because who couldn’t use more places to store pots and pans?
As you can see, the THOR A-Series is equipped with the power and features that define luxury range appliances. It’s rare to find so many high-end features from a trustworthy brand for such a low price, but THOR delivers on both quality and value with its new A-Series.
