I think the Wolf chipping issue is for Wolf's dual fuel ranges and electric ovens. If you get an all-gas range, you won't have the issue. You'll save money too, as the all-gas ranges are less expensive. Also, typically all-gas ranges are less complicated so there is not as much to break, and tend to last longer, so yet one more advantage to choosing an all-gas range. The idea that a gas oven is not as good as an electric oven is an outdated holdover from years ago before modern ignitors, electronic thermostats, and better insulation.

Re the fridge - if you are looking at Subzero fridges, you should also check out the Miele fridges. If you have some time, I will link a thread from Rococogurl that is very educational in that it details her exhaustive search for a fridge, her various decisions, thought process, and pros and cons (if you do not have time for the entire thread, just scroll down to the end where you can see her pics of the beautiful Miele installed).

Rococogurl's Search for a Fridge

Thank you sahmmy_gw! I never thought searching for a fridge would be this difficult, it's a lot of research that goes into all of this. I never thought to look at Miele for a fridge, we are going with there dishwasher though.

With Wolf, it is the blue porcelain that chips.

Gas ovens are very different from electric ovens. This is a past thread that goes into all of it. Each has things that would appeal to different cooks.

Gas vs Electric Ovens

One consideration (especially in hot humid climates) is that the Wolf gas range oven genrates more heat than the same size electric range oven when heated to the same temperature. We tested this out in a showroom. We did not take any formal measurements but the difference was quite noticeable. This could be uncomfortable if you are standing directly in front cooking.
