Wolf vs Miele Range Top

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Does anyone have experience with the Miele gas range top? I haven't seen much info about it. I am buying some Miele appliances and there is a sale if you also buy a range top. I was planning to get the Wolf range top, but didn't know if I should consider the Miele one, especially with the discount. https://m.mieleusa.com/domestic/range-tops-2997.htm?mat=09812540&name=KMR_1356_G http://www.subzero-wolf.com/wolf/cooktops-and-rangetops/range-top/48-inch-sealed-burner-rangetop-6-burners-infrared-griddle

    Rita - Thank you! This is very helpful. The discount is definitely not worth getting an inferior product.

    yeah, I am also a Miele fan, big time, but their cooktop ignitors, not a fan. They don't seem to have their ignition right. This was true 15 years ago, still seems true, to read all the reports of the range. I was seriously interested in the range and followed every report I could find---lots of burner problems. Miele does super ovens, not sure why they can't sort their gas cooktops/ignitors.

    I will be going with half Wolf/Subzero and half Miele, even though I might not maximize the promotions they are both offering.

    The 48" Miele dual fuel range just didn't seem quite right for me. The oven sizes weren't quite right. A little too digital for something I use everyday! I did like that I could order with 8 burners, since I rarely use the grill/griddle, but even that wasn't enough to sway me.

    I will be going with the Wolf 48" dual fuel and hoping that the blue flaking oven issue won't be a problem with the unit I order.

    Wolf: 48" DF range, Subzero column 36" fridge and 24" freezer, 24" drawer MW

    Miele: 24" coffee machine, 24" CS Oven XXL, dishwasher.

    chispa - you sound very similar to my situation! Thanks for the feedback. I didn't mind the digital-ness of the ovens, especially because you can program favorites, but I think I will be splitting things up as well. Thinking the Miele 30" wall oven, large convection steam oven, warming drawer, and 2 dishwashers. Then Wolf range top (6 burner with griddle) and microwave drawer (since Miele doesn't make that), Subzero 36" fridge/freezer, 24" fridge drawers, 30" freezer drawers, 24" beverage fridge and ice maker. Maybe a Subzero wine fridge too. Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawers for butler's pantry, since nobody else makes them!!

    Be wary of the dishwasher drawers. They aren't built to last. My next door neighbor had one due to ADA issues and hers didnt last 5 years before they broke. I've heard others say similar things. I see 'free Bosch dishwasher drawers' come up in our neighborhood feeds often. The only reason I'm passing this along is because I wanted their fridge drawers for our snack station and a designer told me they were 'delicate'. If you get them, treat them very gently.
