i am looking to buy a wolf induction cooktop and can't think of any reasons to buy another brand. i tried it out at the showroom and liked how quiet it was. I've always liked the look of a wolf range. such a statement maker in the kitchen!

My feeling? If you can afford it, and it works for you, then get what you like. You have to live with it and it will make you happy every day if you get what you like.

I am also leaning towards the Wolf induction cooktop (Contemporary or Transitional), mostly because of the bridging flexibility and the Wolf double wall ovens. Hoping that the blue enamel chipping issue is resolved.

Thanks for the feedback!

The blue chipping has affected the entire product line including the new M oven. It would be a deal killer for me, but if you buy it, try to get the longest warranty that you can, that has no exclusions for the enamel and just count on it lasting for that time period. Avoiding the self clean may also help but some enamel has degraded without using it. There have been some who have not had the issue and others like the people in the current class action lawsuit have had many ovens/liners go bad.

It would be interesting to ask Wolf in light of the issues to provide a longer warranty on the liner. Maybe you could negotiate that. I know when I was contemplating spending $800+ an unknown amount to fix mine, they would only guarantee the repair for a year. I felt like they did not have much confidence in their own product.

To me it boils down to how much you can afford to lose.

I bought the Wolf 36" induction cooktop, but it's not installed yet. Oven is a 30" Bluestar electric french door (also not installed).

Jerry, that would be my choice to pick a rangetop and oven separately. Best of each and if one goes, you can replace it.

At that price bracket, I'd look more about the Miele. Both of them have roughly 10 heat settings for the hobs. The Miele has a similar look and while it does not have the bridge, it has knob controls. I don't have much need for the bridge, but I would use the knobs every day. Your preference of course might be different.

I bought the 36" Pro induction range. The unit developed an Err 0C error code after being plugged in after only few days. Never even used it once. Wolf is sending a replacement unit that should arrive soon so I'm looking forward to seeing how the replacement performs,

Thanks for the info. I ended up getting cold feet over the potential blue enamel chipping issue and haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Once yours is repaired and you've used it some, please update this thread on how you like it!

The replacement 36" Wolf Induction Range has been in place for a couple of months and not really used much as we completed the kitchen. We have now had it operational for several weeks. We are very excited by all of the benefits of the induction top: precise control, rapid temperature adjustments and the even performance of the convection oven. Unfortunately, this second oven has also developed a service issue.

About one week ago, the unit began experiencing an E09 error condition on the front right hob. The fault is identified as an issue with Generator 2 and the service representative is ordering a part with a possible replacement date of this Friday. Admittedly, I am beginning to develop some genuine concern about reliability given the amount of money invested in this purchase. To have 2 different ranges have 2 different problems in the short term we have had them is upsetting. I'm not sure if it is coincidence or symptomatic of a larger quality problem. While the service process has been smooth and responsive, I'm disappointed to have to share that I've even had to use them this early in my experience with this new product. The service tech maintains that the failures that he's seeing in the field are few and far between. I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with their range. I think Wolf is still exclusive with a 36" induction range but I'd love to hear from others who have either the 30 or 36" induction range models. How's your reliability?.

I like the cooktop separate from the oven as you can get exactly what you want, and no bending over if you use a wall oven (I have a Bluestar). No issues with the 36" Wolf induction cooktop so far.

We are on our 3rd 30" Wolf Induction range. The first two -- the oven did not work. Now it is getting error readings on the cooktop. The wolf customer service acts as if it is my house that is breaking the units and even recommended that we find another model since we are going on our 4th 30" Induction Range. Has anyone else gone through several of these? Wolf acts like it is just me.
