You need to factor ventilation into your appliance budget. All of that heat will need a robust expensive, fan. And a makeup air system. That expenditure seems to come as a surprise, after people already spent all of their budget on the range.

I have the Miele 48" range and am happy with it overall. Both the ovens work well, the larger one has steam assist and the smaller oven is a speed oven/mw. We use the smaller one primarily as a mw and there was a problem at first, but it works fine now. The controls are very easy to use, though they can seem intimidating when you first use them. The warming drawer under the small oven works well, it made a loud thumping noise at first but was fixed and is quiet now. The burners have a very low simmer and a fairly powerful high. There were some clicking issues, but nothing excessive. This range is not 100% perfect, but most ranges aren't. We are generally pleased. As mentioned above. You need good ventilation- we have a 54" Modernaire hood. In addition to the range, I have a Wolf combi steam oven that is amazing and is the oven we use most often. We would have gone with the Wolf range but were worried about the blue enamel chipping issues.

Yes - Originally was going to get the Miele's Range top but was concerned with the clicking ( they shared for all of the burner) but Wolf has its own click for its burner. I love those Red Knob- was worried with blue enamel chipping issues.

Just wondering if any of us still experience with the blue enamel chipping?

So you decide to go with a bigger Hood for your 48 inch?

It is recommended that you go with a hood that is 6" wider than the range and Miele actually wanted us to use a hood 12" wider, which would have taken away too much upper cabinet space.

German Company is very particular -we might use the 60" inch - will get the best broan - motor will be in the attic + installing the make up air. Do you used the smaller oven often?
