Source:HGTV – Tour Scott and Brooke’s Season Seven Rock the Block Home
Four designer teams. Four identical Las Vegas houses. One scorecard that came down to whose renovation an appraiser valued highest.
That’s the pressure of HGTV’s Rock the Block Season 7, and the ranges, hoods, and ovens doing the heavy lifting in those kitchens came from KUCHT.
If you watched a build and thought I want that range in my house, you’re not the only one. So, which appliances were they? Can you get the same ones? And how do you pick the right range when the show makes all of them look incredible?

What is Rock the Block, and who competed in Season 7?
Rock the Block Season 7 Trailer | Rock the Block | SEASON 7 | HGTV
It’s HGTV’s renovation showdown, where top designers transform identical homes, and the biggest jump in appraised value wins. Season 7 was set up in Las Vegas and, for the first time, paired each HGTV pro with a celebrity.
Host Ty Pennington kept score across four teams: Scott McGillivray and Brooke Hogan, Taniya Nayak and Drew Lachey, Mina Starsiak Hawk and Vernon Davis, and the eventual winners, Kim Wolfe and Chelsea Meissner.
Each duo got an identical 5,000-square-foot home, a $275,000 budget, and seven weeks to outbuild everyone else.
The homes premiered on April 13, 2026.
These weren’t starter homes, either. Each one carried a starting appraisal of $1.9 million, so the team that added the most value on top of that number took the custom street sign and the bragging rights.
When the budget’s that tight, and the win comes down to a number an appraiser writes on a page, every room has to earn its keep. The kitchen earns the most. It’s the room buyers walk into first and remember, so it’s where the smart money goes.
Which KUCHT appliances were featured in the Season 7 kitchens?

KUCHT supplied a full kitchen lineup for the Season 7 homes: pro-style ranges, range hoods, wall ovens, panel-ready refrigeration, a Napoli pizza oven, and cookware. The whole collection is shoppable on KUCHT’s site.
The headliners were the ranges.
The 48-inch KNG481 and the TrueSimmer™ gas models, the 30-inch KFX3000X and 48-inch KFX4800X, bring the pro look most people picture when they think “show kitchen,” with heavy grates and burners that drop low enough for a steady simmer and climb high enough to sear.
The KDF362 dual fuel range pairs a gas cooktop with an electric oven. And because a black-and-stainless box isn’t the only option, several KUCHT models come in color — the KFX3000X alone offers six finishes, from olive green to light blue.
Around the ranges sat the rest of the kitchen: matching range hoods, single and double wall ovens, a microwave drawer, panel-ready built-in refrigerators and dishwashers that vanish into the cabinetry, wine coolers, and the Napoli pizza oven for outside.
KUCHT’s own 3-ply cookware rounded it out.

Why do pro-style appliances matter in a renovation judged on home value?
In a contest decided by appraisal, a kitchen has to look high-end and cook like it. Capable, up-to-date appliances are among the fastest signals a buyer gets that a home is move-in ready, and they pay back a healthy share of their cost.
While looks are important, so is quality function. The winner finds the balance best.
And there’s a reason designers spend big on the kitchen even with the clock running. Buyers read the kitchen first, and new, capable appliances tell them the home’s been looked after. That impression carries into every other room.
You could see it play out in Season 7. When kitchen week arrived, Scott McGillivray called it make-or-break, and he and Brooke Hogan put $55,000 into theirs, close to a fifth of their whole budget, even building a second prep kitchen to fit everything in. The kitchen is where the game gets won.
Check the numbers.
Energy Star appliances can return roughly 70 to 80 percent of their cost at resale, and modest kitchen updates recoup far more of their spend than big gut renovations do.
A range that looks the part but can’t hold a simmer or get a sear won’t move that needle. KUCHT’s pro-style burners and convection ovens are built to do both — which is the whole game on a show where looks and performance get judged side by side.
It’s the same reason Consumer Reports has named a KUCHT range a best pick in the pro-style category: the performance shows up.
Gas, dual fuel, or induction — which KUCHT range fits your kitchen?

All three are strong choices, and none is a step down from the others. The right one comes down to how you cook day to day.
Gas ranges give you that instant, visual flame. Turn it down, and it’s down. If you cook with a wok, char peppers right over the fire, or just like seeing the heat you’re working with, gas is your range.
Dual fuel keeps the gas cooktop and swaps in an electric oven, which holds a steadier, more even temperature. Bakers who care about an even rise and edge-to-edge browning tend to land here.
Induction heats the pan directly, so it’s fast, precise to the degree, and easy to wipe clean because the surface itself stays cooler. It keeps the kitchen more comfortable through a long cook and suits a sleek, modern build.
Different cooks, different winners. KUCHT makes all three, so the question isn’t which range is best. It’s which one’s best for you.
The same lineup the designers trusted, in your own kitchen
The teams on Rock the Block had a budget, a deadline, and an appraiser deciding whether their choices were worth it. The kitchen lineup they leaned on is the same one sitting on KUCHT’s site right now, minus the deadline.
