Wolf wins. I have a Bluestar. Would I purchase one again....No. I hate their customer service. I had the stuck door issue. The first replacement door sent, the glass rattled, so they sent another. They did not include the correct mounting bolts. Called and emailed several times but they never sent. Went to my local hardware store and purchased my own stainless steel bolts. The door does not sound good when closed, noisy and rattles still. Fit/finish is rough and not to the Wolf standard by any means. I find stainless screws laying around at times (yes, they fall off) and find others that are loose. Ignitors are overpriced when you include their shipping charges. The newer doors have unsightly screws along the top edge...part of their cheesy design improvement to correct the stuck door issues. Do searches on Bluestar, you will find many on this forum. And you will find people love them and hate them. I just find so many issues with mine in the fit/finish area it is amazing. It is not a nice looking appliance, the Wolf is eye candy in my opinion. The ONLY thing the Bluestar has going for it is the cast iron cooktop. I like the fact it is cleanable, scrape-able, and indestructible.

Thank you for the reply. This is very meaningful. Quality, including long term reliability, is key - the main reason that I'm considering replacing my Thermador rangetop (and oven) and won't consider them again.

Another example...I had the original taller trim in the rear of the range. When redoing my kitchen, I decided to go with the low profile island trim being my wall was a tiled backsplash. I called and ordered. But it did not fit correctly and was not flush to the rear of the stove. I had to take a hack saw, and cut away some of the side rails along the top so it would fit correctly. The top rails were about 1/4 too long preventing the island trim from sitting flush in the rear of the range. Before I did all this, I called them to complain, they rechecked my model and serial number...they said it was the correct part despite me explaining the issue and sending them photos. Luckily I am a hands on mechanical type person and was able to figure out why and correct it myself. I just find it a quirky appliance. I want to like it, but things like this should not be. Another thing regarding the trim we originally had and the one that comes with the range, the stainless steel in the rear right hand side would always discolor (big burnt on brown spot). So, have a lot of Barkeepers Friend and strong hands to periodically remove this. To me, this is a design issue on how that part of the range gets overheated.
