hi guys this is Brian Bennett for senior appliances and right now we're taking a closer look at the lrg 30 85 st by LG for one thousand six hundred and forty-nine dollars this freestanding gas oven certainly isn't the most inexpensive one you can buy but for the price it definitely has plenty of stainless steel style not to mention is easy and fun to use as you can see it's got lots of handsome design elements that are clad in stainless steel you also have these very shiny metallic looking front burner controls which they're plastic but they do feel very premium you also get a nice gas range up top with five burners it has a very uncluttered interface for the touch panel in the back you actually have just the minimum amount of controls with names for everything and it's pretty easy to use and quite responsive the oven is only 5.4 cubic feet in capacity and compared to other ovens from Samsung and GE and other device makers they tend to offer 5.8 cubic feet of space so that's a little bit smaller than you'd expect another thing that I don't particularly like is that there's not a lot of extra features and you also don't get many accessories bundled with the actual oven itself it's probably the biggest problem with the lrg 3085 st is that it doesn't cook very quickly so these are things that may be a problem for you if you want fast cooking performance so when you boil it all down this range from LG is certainly a solid oven it's just not going to offer the same amount of fast performance and extra features that you'll find in competitors from say Samsung GE and others be sure to check out my full review of this oven as well as other ranges at cnet.com I'm Brian Bennett for CNET appliances you
