Hello wekick, thanks for the info. How long ago you buy the discovery range? what other options recommended?

It was 7 years ago but the range top looks about the same. They did redesign the knobs. The blue light lets you know if they are on. Wolf does not have that. Some of the other brands I would look at would be BlueStar, Capital culinarian and American Performer. There are many posts on this forum about the various characteristics of burners-

sealed vs open vs semi open burner trays

capped vs uncapped burners

star shaped vs ring vs multi ring burners

dual stacked burners

btus low and high end

all burners the same size vs burners in various sizes

one thing I liked about the Dacor range was the oversized grate in the middle

Also consider induction

I would consider how you cook to see what is important. Some stir fry so like the ultra high BTUs and uncapped burners. I use the low end of heat so simmer is important to me.

wekick, Thank you for the feedback. We do a lot of asian cooking.

BS has a 25K burner. What do you use now?

Currently i am using electric cooktop. Not good for Asian cooking, I was thinking of going with gas or induction but the kitchen will look more grand with a gas range top.

so hard to make to choose.

Do you think it will look weird if I get a Dacor single wall oven to go with a Miele combi steamer oven? OR should I go with the same brand Miele for the wall oven?

Blue Star I heard is high in BTU and good for Asian cooking but seems to have problem after few years..

@owlwie Owl

I have a blue star range and I do wok cooking for 90% of my dishes.

You cannot go wrong with blue star when it comes to wok cooking. And if it is just the range top you are getting, it is a very simple design and even if something breaks, it can be easily fixed. The only electronic parts are the igniting module and the ceramic igniter.

I would buy appliances on function but some people want them to match. It is a personal decision.

What Dacor model are you considering and what do you feel are the benefits of a Dacor oven?

If you use high heat and a wok, it would seem you want high BTUs and uncapped burners.

This would be BlueStar and Capital that have open burner trays and American Performer that has a semi sealed burner tray. Each has its pluses and minuses. It would be good if you could find one that you are considering to cook on. I would try to determine what the service would be in your area. American has probably had the most service issues.

strikeraj, Thanks.. I have to look into blue star more...

Wekick, Dacar model I am considering is Discovery (DYRTP486S) line or Renaissance (EG486SCH) line. Seems like Dacor has looks of problem few years ago. Lately I don't see much of review on Dacor product. Capital and American performer is not popular in Canada.

Besides this, We will buy the Miele combi steamer, So the single wall oven might probably have to be same brand as Miele otherwise it will look strange.
