25 years ago we purchased a Frigidaire Gallery slide in range with the fridge and dishwasher . The fridge only lasted about 4 years so never again on a fridge but the Dishwasher and stove lasted about 25 years each. Now we thought we purchased a downdraft, the propane guy came and hooked up my stove and never said anything or asked me anything, I figured he would of especially since my stove is in the middle of the center isle in my kitchen with no type of ventahood only a ceiling fan ! Lol Well apparently this stove WAS NOT a downdraft stove which is what was recommended when we built our house. Well thankfully after 25 years I’ve never occurred one problem with this regular slide in stove with the cooling vents at the back. The ONLY DOWNDRAFT SLIDE IN RANGE I could find and the guy at Best Buy also did a search today 9/26/19 and found the same result as my intensive search ! Kitchenaid has one style of slide in downdraft range and it only comes in stainless steel. The downdraft is located down the center of the top of the stove and sits kinda tall ( to me) it has 4 burners and personally I found it very unattractive! So I figured after 25 years of using a regular slide in gas ( propane) range without any problems then I’m going to try this again but with the Samsung Duo gas convection slide in range. My other stove was not convection but hey maybe the fans will add to it ! Haha! So after my long story and taking 25 years to find out we did not have a downdraft to start with , I’m not going to start now but I do wish you luck in your search and hope you find what you want , if not maybe my story will help! Haha! This is a true story I promise! Karen
