Could you please describe what you mean by "blows up in your face." Are you talking about the oven, the burners, what exactly? What did Wolf say about it? When did you buy your range? Your experience with all of this would be very helpful to those of us who are trying to decide . . .

From the very little you've described, it sounds like a gas line problem, not the Wolf range problem. Since you said "Been replaced a few times"(I am assuming you mean the range has been replaced, though you don't say what exactly has been replaced), and you continue to have the problem, it is not the range, it's something outside the range. I am amazed at Wolf customer service, that they would replace a range several times--most companies wouldn't do that.

They would and they have shannonplus2--don't ask me how I know...

Yes, indeed, Wolf will replace a range a few times while a problem continues and they can't figure out how to fix it. And then they'll just throw their hands up and write a cheque.

Yeah, but Keitel, they do get to the bottom of it and in short order, unlike Bluestar, who seems to answer the phone most enthusiastically prior to purchase. I remember your problems, and a few others, but reports on those issues don't seem to be coming in for current owners. Wolf is good about tinkering with their design to iron out issues.

I agree - they're a totally different company. I would also assume that they've fixed the problem and while it was occurring they were incredibly accessible even if they didn't know what to do. In the end, after an enormous amount of my time wasted while they "tinkered" in my kitchen, they did exactly what a customer would want when they realized that they couldn't actually solve the problem.

In the same vein as Bluestar, it's frustrating that companies put out products with massive pricetags that have significant short-comings on the most basic of functions. After that, I guess the companies begin to separate based on what they do abou it.
