Wolf is your best bet off of that list. Thermador doesn't have the reputation they once did especially if you need service down the road.

Bosch does not make a rangetop only a drop in.

i'm in the same boat as you. after much deliveration, we have decided to go for a wolf 36 rangetop. however, due to budget constraints, we are getting the older model RT366 with the open burner, which we are fine with.

good luck on your search!

Have you considered just buying a 36" range instead of just the rangeTOP. That way you can just have the builder leave a 36" space in the cabinets and you can just slide the range in, hook up the gas and get the cert of occupancy.

I resolved the issue with the builder and they are allowing me to buy the rangetop and provide it to rhem. I was relentless! Bluestar 36" with a Zephyr Tempest 2 hood. Can't wait.

Excellent. You won't regret it. I have the 36" bluestar range. It rocks.

Glad it worked out for you! agree with gladross, have had our 36" Bluestar range only a couple months now, but I'm in love, what a fantastic piece of equipment!

Good job! Congratulations!
