No wolf range is under $5000.

Wolf and Thermidor Pro are very similarly priced.


When I got quotes the thermador pro was definitely cheaper — maybe 10-20% less, so not a huge difference but definitely less. Anyway I’m not totally loving my thermador because they seem loud to me, especially after the oven is turned off. We have an open plan kitchen so it’s a little irritating to be sitting there at dinner trying to eat and talk with the loud hum from the oven. I don’t know if that’s common with other high end ovens but my old ge profile didn’t do that. I’m also a little irritated because the numbers on the display aren’t as big/dark as I like so you need to be right in front of the oven to see them — you can’t glance across the room and see how much is left on the timer and how close it is to preheated. Maybe I should download the app or something but I liked the big numbers on my old GE.

Viking makes a nice double door electric wall oven. We have it in a luxury townhouse rental.

Ours is GE (double wall oven) and we really like it. It has wifi, but we never set it up because it seems unnecessary.

Love our Thermador Pro (electric) wall ovens. They heat evenly and get to precise temps, have a variety of feature (timers, home connect where you can set things via wireless connection, etc). Doors are pull down, but I think the side open doors look convenient too.

I love my Kitchen Aid double wall oven. I use both ovens all the time. Convection is excellent.

Electric is the most precise

I am in the same situation. I want to switch to an induction range. I like the look of the GE induction range but would like a double oven (I use the small one all the time)
Anyone with experience with the cafe?


PP that's also looking at the GE cafe induction double - I find Yale Appliance's videos and reviews to be helpful. They pointed out how at 4.3 cubic feet the bottom oven is bigger than some regular size ovens (like the Fisher P). https://www.yaleappliance.com/product/caf-30-slide-in-electric-range-chs950p-229351

We had a GE Profile range that we loved (induction and electric oven). Just renovated and stuck with GE for cooking but upgraded to Monogram - induction cooktop plus wall oven plus speed oven. I feel like they have good reliability, good availability on parts (though we've never needed servicing and had the last range six years), and give you some nice design options with their different lines.

Roast? Gas oven. It’ll help keep things moist.

We didn’t want our oven on the internet (wtf) so we got a Blue Star.


I don't have their oven, but absolutely love my Blue Star appliances... would definitely recommend you consider.
