Wolf Gas Range of Thermador Duel Fuel?

[Anonymous]

30 inch freestanding

Thermador throws in a hood for 'free', but the Wolf is 2 grand less which allows for a hood purchase.

So they end up being the same cost.

These are the only two options available due to some space constraints.

Which would you pick?

The difference is the gas vs dual fuel. The 30" Wolf dual fuel is just over 2k more than the Wolf gas.

neither...go with Monogram, unless you are only worried about keeping up with appearances

GE is garbage. It was sold to Haier/ the Chinese a couple years ago. Wolf is American made. Only a fool would choose Chinese over American.

I would always pick dual fuel, but I like baking.

Same. I'd never choose a gas oven.

Monogram is well on its way down the path of the replaceable appliance model. Both Wolf and Thermador are expensive but will far more likely stand the test of time.

True, but it uses a digital display. One of the main draws to Viking and Wolf is the absence of computers/motherboards. Much less to go wrong with knobs and dials.

This is a big mistake for them in my opinion.

We had the 48 dual fuel wolf range and agree with this. We had it serviced twice in the first four years and it was so expensive. However I bake and wouldn’t want a gas oven.
I will do wall ovens and induction burners next time. So neither

I cannot compare it to Thermador, but have been happy with my fuel-fuel Wolf. It's quite feature-rich and performs well. The features do add more complexity, but also provide functional benefits, which buyers apparently find to add value and to represent a worthwhile tradeoff, as I do.

Dual-fuel, I mean!

I prefer dual fuel. Electric oven is better to regulate temperature.

Wolf dual fuel. That thing is a beast.

I wouldn’t get a gas stove. I value my respiratory health.

it's not a concern as long as the kitchen is well ventilated. Turn on the range hood when using the gas burners; the Wolf hoods are extremely powerful and require a solenoid-activated make-up air vent to prevent the creation of a vacuum within the house. You can increase air exhaust further by cracking open a window or sliding glass door when using the burners.

Your concern may be valid if a gas stove is used in a poorly ventilated environment.
