Hallman Range Review: Our Hallman 48 Range in White

There are so many decisions to be made during a kitchen remodel. However, when we decided to completely gut and renovate the kitchen at the Hills House one decision was quick and easy for me: I knew I wanted to splurge on a beautiful Hallman range and make it the center piece of the new kitchen! I ordered the Hallman 48 Dual Fuel Range in white with brass trim. We’ve had our Hallman range in our home for almost two years now and if you’re looking for an honest Hallman range review along with detailed pictures of the Hallman range 48, you’ve come to the right place!

Update (as of April 16th, 2025): “After two decades of dedicated service and innovation, Hallman Industries LLC will be winding down operations and ceasing all business under the Hallman brand.” You can read more about this on their website.

Ordering our Hallman range

I ordered our Hallman range (model HDFR48BSWT) in early May 2022 through Lowe’s for $5,769 + tax. I actually ended up getting a Memorial Day weekend discount of $750 on it after placing the order.

Here’s how that happened: I placed the order before they had their Memorial Day sale but I knew they would have their sale later that month. I called them once the sale started and received a refund of the discount amount because I called them within 30 days of placing the original order – score! The total for our Hallman 48 in. Double Oven Dual Fuel Italian Range came out to $5,019 + tax.

This makes the Hallman range significantly less expensive than some other comparable ranges.

Shipping and lead time for our Hallman range

I placed the order for our Hallman range in May 2022 and it arrived in early December 2022 (it just missed our first Thanksgiving at the new house!).

That was about the timeline I expected so I was pretty happy with that especially considering that our range was made to order in Italy (there are a lot of color and trim options to chose from) and there were shipping delays for most appliances across different manufacturers at the time (one of my friends had to wait over a year for her appliances!).

It arrived in a sturdy wood box and was dropped off at our front door/driveway.

I believe the shipping method might be different if you order from Hallman directly but this is how it arrived when I ordered through Lowe’s:

My husband and a friend of ours brought it inside. They said it was very heavy but doable.

It waited in our living room for a few days to get installed but I was so excited to take a sneak peek as soon as it arrived:

Installation of our Hallman range

My understanding is that our Hallman 48 in. Double Oven Dual Fuel Italian Range is the best of both worlds: you get the gas Hallman stove and then the electric oven. There are different versions of the Hallman range so make sure you’re ordering exactly what you want and need!

We got our Hallman range professionally installed by a local appliance company and I’m really happy with their installation. They asked for the installation documents that I received from Hallman ahead of time so they came prepared.

We paid about $500 to get it installed so that’s definitely an added cost to consider when you’re ordering a Hallman range. Not getting it professionally installed might void the warranty.

Detailed pictures of our Hallman 48 in. double oven dual fuel Italian range

What would a Hallman range review be without pictures? Let’s take a closer look at this beautiful Italian piece of art!

Here is our Hallman range from the front. I love the shade of bright white with the beautiful brass trim! I think our pot filler matches it perfectly.

Here is our Hallman 48 range with both of the oven doors open. The small oven is one of my absolute favorite features but more on that later!

Here is a more detailed view of the beautiful brass trim, I love the shape of the trim. It’s just enough detail without being too intricate!

Check out all those burners! There is a size for pretty much any pot or pan. The front left burner allows you to turn on both the inner and outer ring or you can opt to just turn on the inner ring for a tiny little pot!

Here’s another view of the Hallman stove!

Our Hallman stove came with a griddle. We have used it a few times but prefer to cook on pans, they’re less heavy and easier to clean but this is definitely a fun option for us for special occasions!

Functionality and my favorite features of our Hallman range

At this price point it’s not surprising that the Hallman range has more functionalities than your average appliance! Here are some of the functionalities that set it apart:

• multifunction oven:
  • pizza cooking (for things like pizza, bread & sconces)
  • upper & lower elements (like a conventional electric oven)
  • lower element (for things like pastries and cakes)
  • upper element (broiler function)
  • grill baking/turnspit (for roast meats like turkey or chicken)
  • grill & fan (for deep cooking meats)
  • upper, lower & fan elements (convection)
  • fan oven (ideal for batch baking)
  • quick start (fast pre-heating)
• two ovens: one regular size and one small

The small oven is DEFINITELY one of my favorite features! It’s my first time having two ovens and I love that one of them is smaller. The small oven heats up so fast and is perfect if you’re baking something small like an individual sized pizza or just a small batch of six muffins!

Unique things to consider while using our Hallman range

Powering the gas burners is a little bit of a unique process, but nothing you can’t get used to. You push the knob and turn it past the spark icon for 3-5 seconds or more. It’s important to not let go of the knob until it holds the flame.

It’s normal for all igniters on one side to spark at the same time when turning on one of the burners. This was something I reached out to Hallman about because I thought it was unusual.

The Hallman range has a lot of oven functionalities so it takes a little bit of time to familiarize yourself with all of them. Thankfully, Hallman provides an overview sheet with a quick summary of each of the functions so you know which one they recommend based on what you’re baking. We printed out that sheet and keep it in the kitchen nearby for reference.

Cleaning our Hallman range

The instructions say to avoid abrasive or corrosive detergents as they may damage the oven. They also say not to use steam appliances for cleaning.

We have always cleaned our range with just warm water (except the glass on the oven door) and it has worked well for us.

I recently took apart and deep cleaned the whole area around the burners. I used a magic eraser on some parts that had grease baked on. It worked great for me and didn’t damage any of the parts of my range.

Quality of our Hallman range

Our range looks high quality and we didn’t encounter any issues the first three months or so. After that, we had two issues come up so far:

The first one is the rubber gasket came off on the small oven. The rubber tore randomly right at the corner.

We reached out to Hallman Industries customer support and they sent us a replacement part pretty quickly and free of charge as the range was still under warranty. We were able to install the replacement gasket ourselves.

The second issue that came up is that the igniter on one of the burners stopped working. The gas was still flowing but the spark to light the burner was missing when operating the knob. We’re in the process of getting this issue fixed through a local appliance company.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with the quality of the range and our purchase but disappointed we had issues come up as early as its first year of use.

Hallman range hood

Not necessarily part of this Hallman range review but something I wanted to still note: Our kitchen is very open and with such a large and powerful range, I wanted to make sure we had a powerful hood above the range that would not only look beautiful but also be able to help with any cooking smells. You can check out all the details around how we built our custom range hood here, I’m so happy with how it turned out and functions!
