we have an older Miele model, with 5 hobs, 2012ish? and we love it. have had no issues, fingers crossed!! easy to clean, precise temps, really have no complaints!

you will love induction, we will never go back to gas, radiant electric or coil electric....

Thank you! i love induction too! and much safer when you have children!

We have the 36" Wolf induction cooktop and love it. But the Miele burner layout looks even better than Wolf. If that model had been on the market when we bought (5 years ago), I definitely would have bought that one.

I had no idea about the Thermador. thats really good advice. my renovations will end in about 6 months but thats very good info. im Canada. wondering if its the same.

Thanks @mcarroll16

i think Miele is a safe bet. thats probably going to be my choice.

Very happy with our 36” Bosch

I have the Thermador Freedom and love it. No problems. I've had it 2 1/2 years.

The Miele KM6386 is a Canadian model not sold in the US which is why you aren't getting much response here. You might want to consider the CR-recommended Bosch NITP669SUC which is over CA$1000 less.

Is the Thermador Freedom gray or black?

We have been very happy with our 36" Wolf induction cooktop. We also looked at Miele; had experienced some bad luck with a Miele speed oven and decided to try a different brand when replacing a Bertazzoni combination (gas and induction) cooktop that bit the dust. Love induction and believe you will be happy with either the Wolf or Miele -- not sure I would pay a premium for one over the other.

The Thermador Freedom is gray.
