Miele 36" induction cooktop over Elux wall oven?
Comments (22)The biggest reason you don't see larger induction ranges is that the 30" ones are already at the limit of most American electrical systems as they exist. 40-50 amp circuits are all that exist currently in most homes in a range location and most American homes only have 200 amp services. If a larger range with larger needs for power were introduced, it would for sure require rewiring as a condition of it's use. And in the typical home, 200 amps of service is already pushing the limit on usage with all of the TVs, computers, and other eletronic gadgetry that are in a modern home. (It's the same reason why you seldom see a retrofit for an electric tankless water heater.) Commercial installations that use large induction hobs typically have access to 3 phase power and MUCH larger service runs. You only have to look at the different electrical requirements between a typical 1970 home and a 2010 home to see how many more circuits are now needed. Start adding in a power hungry range that needs a 70 amp circuit, and you start talking a LOT of money to rewire the run from the pole, a new panel, and the new run for the range. It's just not economically feasable for any maker to introduce something like that at this time. Youd need a paradigm shift in new home construction to make it happen.

Comments (3)I chose the Kenmore Elite induction cooktop over one of their Elite wall ovens. My second choice was the GE profile over a GE profile oven. I can't tell you more about the Kenmore as it is on order....See MoreBosch induction cooktop over wall oven
Comments (5)See the second page of the following PDF: http://www.bosch-home.com/Files/bosch2/Us/us_en/Document/Spec_Sheets/NITP068SUC.pdf Expressly says Bosch induction can be installed over Bosch wall oven with 1" clearance. Was the original post in this thread about an older model? And newer models now officially support installation of induction above oven? Or am I misreading the above PDF? EDIT: Figured it out. The old model is NITP066. PDF here: http://www.bosch-home.com/Files/bosch2/us/us_en/Document/Spec_Sheets/NITP066UC.pdf. Does NOT support installation above wall oven. The new model is NITP068, PDF linked at top of post, and it DOES appear to support installation above wall oven....See MoreDecision Time: induction range vs. induction cooktop with oven below
Comments (30)dsgulbas, are you arguing that Wolf is a commercial quality range??? I hope you understand that the Wolf commercial range company is NOT the one you are advocating. The Wolf brand name was purchased by a refrigeration company that has never produced a commercial range. The original Wolf stove company operates out of California and produces commercial stoves but has no relationship whatsoever to SubZero. Here is their website: http://www.wolfequipment.com/Wolf/Products/subcat.aspx?brand=Wolf&cid=1&scid=38 SubZero/Wolf gas stoves are not commercial quality and don't even have open burners, they are very good stoves but first and foremost are prime examples of kitchen jewelery. SubZero/Wolf ranges may be heavy but they are not long lasting. Try to get a Wolf gas range porcelain oven interior fixed after the warranty expires and you'll soon find out they are essentially disposable items. Been there done that. I will never defend Samsung as I've had bad experiences with them too but I don't see Wolf being any more (or even as) reliable than GE, Electrolux, Bosch and a few others that are sold in less exclusive stores....See MoreBarbarav
