Our verdict

The THOR ARG36LP is a 36-inch, 6-burner liquid propane range with a 6.0 cu ft oven at $2,339, but its 1.0-star average from 2 buyers is an unusually severe signal that should give prospective buyers serious pause before purchasing.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other kitchen ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, range hoods and microwaves we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

On paper the ARG36LP has attractive specs: 36 inches wide, 6 sealed burners on liquid propane, a 6.0 cu ft oven, 2 oven racks, and a polished finish. The freestanding installation fits a standard 36-inch opening, and the 28 x 36 x 37 inch dimensions are in line with competitors. Knob controls keep the interface direct and mechanical.

The propane configuration is the key differentiator here, in areas without natural gas access, liquid propane ranges are often the only option for gas cooking. The ARG36LP fills that need on paper, but the 1.0-star rating from 2 buyers undermines confidence in the execution.

Two reviews is a minimal sample, and a single very negative experience can dominate a two-review set. But 1.0 stars is the floor of the rating scale, and at $2,339 the risk is material. Buyers should actively seek out additional owner accounts, Q&A, or retailer dispute records before committing to this purchase.

Pros

  • Liquid propane fuel is essential for kitchens without natural gas access
  • 6.0 cu ft oven capacity is generous for a freestanding range
  • 6 sealed gas burners handle simultaneous high-output cooking
  • Polished finish is easy to clean
  • 36-inch freestanding body fits standard pro-style openings

Cons

  • 1.0-star average from 2 buyers is the lowest possible rating, a serious red flag at $2,339
  • Only 2 reviews with no positive experiences reported
  • No BTU or wattage figures published for the burners
  • Only 2 oven racks included for a 6.0 cu ft cavity

Performance notes

The propane-fed sealed burners on a 36-inch body should deliver capable stovetop output when functioning correctly. Sealed burner design contains spills better than open flame configurations. The 6.0 cu ft oven gives room for large roasts and multi-rack baking with the 2 included racks. The polished finish on the cooktop surface shows smudging more than brushed alternatives. At 28 x 36 x 37 inches this range fits standard 36-inch cutouts.

What buyers say

A 1.0-star average across 2 buyers represents the worst possible buyer outcome. While the tiny sample size means individual circumstances may be unrepresentative, no positive reviews exist for this model. Buyers at $2,339 deserve a meaningful track record before committing, and the ARG36LP does not provide one.

Frequently asked questions

Is this range the LP version of the Thor Kitchen ARG36?

The ARG36LP appears to be the liquid propane variant of the ARG36 gas range, sharing the same basic 36-inch, 6-burner frame but configured for LP fuel rather than natural gas. Confirm with THOR before purchasing if you need natural gas instead.

Why is the rating only 1.0 stars?

With only 2 reviews there is not enough data to identify the specific cause of dissatisfaction. The 1.0-star floor could reflect product quality issues, shipping damage, installation problems, or other factors. Seek out additional accounts from owners before making a decision at this price.

Can I use this range with a large propane tank?

Liquid propane ranges can typically connect to any standard LP supply, from small portable tanks to large bulk storage tanks, via a regulator and appropriate fittings. A licensed gas technician should make the connection and verify proper pressure settings for safe operation.
