[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are buying a Wolf, you are buying it for the name.  Or, more accurately, the red knobs, so everyone will know you spend a lot on your appliances.  There are other high-end appliances that actually increase functionality, so may be "worth" the premium - a Wolf does not.  It's basically a marketing scheme.  [/quote]

We have a wolf and chose black knobs because we didn't want the red. We've been very happy with it. Also have a sub zero because we have a narrow kitchen and the extra few inches of depth made a difference. So sometimes it is about functionality.

Our beach house has the next tier of appliances (Kitchen Aid and Jenn Air) and they are pretty crappy. We are going to replace them all. The fridge freezes half the food, the stovetop barely gets hot enough to boil water, the dishwasher has had to be repaired. But from a resale perspective for the previous owner they were a plus - we thought they were good quality until we started using them. [/quote]

OK, I'll bite - what functionality does the Wolf provide that justifies the increased price?  [/quote]
