36" Induction cooktop? (Thermador, Wolf, Miele)
Comments (7)I have the Wolf 36 for 2 years - works great. There is only one timer for the entire unit - Miele has a timer for each burner. Both have their advantages but I am timered out anyway with so many timers in the kitchen already... Now which timer is beeping - but if you are forgetful, the individual timers turn off the burner. If you have visual problems - the burner rings are hard to see (I wanted them to be discreet and am happy with them but some might have trouble centering the pan) It took me two years to figure out the buzzing noises are more of an interaction with the LED can lights - I have to get sparky back to help figure out why. Otherwise, it cooks great, simmers, melts, high heat, low heat, etc - one thing to understand - the settings are different on different burners - ask to get the print out of the actual wattages....See MoreAgonizing over Wolf Electric or Wolf Induction Cooktop
Comments (24)Larsi - I am not in total agreement on the buzzing. I do have some low level buzzing but harder to hear with the fan engaged. I have all top end (various brands). All Clad, DeMeyere, CIA, LeCr, Staub, ScanPan and probably a few other brands hiding in my drawers and Super Susan. I only have one of each size - just a number of different brands that I picked up over the years.(OK - I might have more than one 2.5qt pan) Lexi - I wouldn't be overly concerned but if you can try it out to make sure it won't bother you too much. I am very noise sensitive and am OK with it. The benefits outweigh this issue. Also- gas makes noise as well - just different noises. I don't think my coil electric ever made noise. I fortunately avoided the ceramic electric non-induction phase. Of note - I seem to have a defective LED light. When it is on, the buzzing is amplified. I need to replace it but in the mean time, I tend to turn off the big lights and use the cooktop light to minimize the effect. I had Wolf come look at my cooktop early on and it the buzzing wasn't bad when they came - but alas, it took me two years to figure out the root cause. When Wolf came to fix my oven, I gave a demonstration so they would know I wasn't totally nuts when I complained about the sound.

Comments (23)sherri1058: I pretty much agree with you: reliability is key for me, but neither the online reviews nor Consumer Reports always gives one a clear bottom line, at least for me. Negative reviews may overly influence me. But re. the function of appliances these days: I think many digital interfaces are way over-designed with too many layers to go through to set it -- that's what I want to avoid on my oven choice! sjhockeyfan: Thanks for your input -- I appreciate it. Most of the negative comments have been from the Benchmark flex users, I think. I am trying to "gang" purchases as much as reasonably possible, but expect that will still mean 2-3 brands, at minimum (Bosch cooktop and/or side swing oven + DW, for example). htc2015: I was given links some time ago (sorry, did not save) that assured me that there were no significant health risks, except some potential risks to a pacemaker user. I am hypochondriacal and have had cancer, so I took this seriously....See More36" Induction cooktop Wolf CI365TS vs. Miele KM 6370
Comments (6)I looked at these exact units when looking to replace a bertazzoni combination unit (gas and induction) that stopped working. I agree that you can't go wrong with either -- I chose the Wolf. I've been very happy with the Wolf. That said, a couple of things to consider: I knew at the time that the Miele had additional timer functions (like being able to set a timer to turn a burner off) that the Wolf did not have -- I thought I would probably not really use such a function, but, after the fact, I think I would love to have that capability - so I might give the Miele an edge for that reason. One other thing about the Wolf that is different than the Miele -- the Miele has white markings where the burners are -- the Wolf does not. When the lights of the exhaust unit are on, the burner outline is sometimes hard to see -- this bothers my husband more than it bothers me - I like the sleeker (all black) look of the Wolf. Good luck with your decision. If you have not used induction before -- you will love it no matter which unit you choose....See Moreostrich
