Dacor or Wolf Double Wall Ovens??? Help!!!
Comments (3)Wolf has dual fans which gives it the edge for me in evenness. I have Wolf 36 inch oven in my range and it takes 20 minutes to preheat but I always turn it on in advance to equilibrate past the 20 minutes. I also had a Dacor oven 5 years ago but you can search that name on the forum to read a variety of experiences. I also have an 30 inch Electrolux wall oven and it is right in there in function with the Wolf. It bakes very evenly, even in the conventional mode. It preheats to 350 in about 7 minutes. I turn it on about 30 minutes ahead if I am baking something that needs to be very even though. Whatever you do when getting an oven with electronics, get the longest extended warranty you can-the boards are very expensive to replace. Run the self clean right away to make sure the electronics survive the heat....See Moredacor vs miele vs wolf cooktop/oven/wd/mw
Comments (1)how about trying to focus your post a bit better, it reads like: "should I have breakfast or dinner, should I get the jellybeans or the foie gras, no maybe I'll get a McChicken it's good isn't it? But I only want to stop at Chez Neu and I'm a vegan so I guess the jellybeans and McChicken are out....See MoreMiele vs Wolf E series double ovens
Comments (5)I looked seriously at Dacor when I, unfortunately, chose the Monogram instead. I can't remember why I didn't look into that oven again when I got the Wolf. I couldn't find much info or feedback, and it never came up with the salespeople I talked to, I guess. Also, the store who I dealt with who recommended it had closed. But I do think it's worth a look. It was a guy who works in Wolf engineering, where they do extensive testing of other manufacturers' appliances, that steered me toward Electrolux as a 2nd choice if I could afford the Wolf. But ASV reminded me about the glass over the element in Dacor, which I thought was a very smart feature. Also, if you get their dbl that's thermal (not convection) on the bottom, the cavity and, I believe, racks are larger to take advantage of the fact there's no extra fan stealing space. My Wolf's thermal oven cavity is slightly larger than the convection one also, but the racks aren't so the larger cavity is no advantage to me. My repair tech said Dacor was the one he was most impressed with, and my old favorite saleman swore by Dacor and used it as the gold standard...to which he said Elux compared very favorably. If you're willing to look at others beside Wolf and Miele, you might also consider Fisher and Paykel or DCS...if you can confirm you have plenty of available tech support in your area, which I didn't. My F&P oven performed great, but when the porcelain went bad (uncharacteristic for that brand, as far as I know), they had a lot of trouble finding authorized service people to do the changes for me....See MoreSingle Wall Ovens: Dacor Renaissance vs Wolf E-Series?
Comments (6)^You haven't seen anything bad about it because there really isn't anything bad or good to see yet, LOL. It's a brand new design. It looks like an awesome oven based on their website. Whether you should buy one depends on whether you are willing to help the manufacturer test their product in the field. It didn't seem that the rollouts of the RNB and Platinum ranges went quite as planned, hopefully this oven will be different. If I were redoing my kitchen, and I had it in the budget, I would probably give it a try. I guess I'm just the "early adopter" type. I like playing around with new stuff like that. So far I've tried 2 unproven appliances, KA steam assist oven and GE Profile french door fridge, I have not regretted either choice. However I am aware the majority of people do NOT enjoy being beta testers so even thought I might take the risk, I could not recommend that anyone buy a product like this so early on unless they are very aware what they are getting into....See Morenutkin88
