So I will say that IMO Wolf is overpriced and over rated now. Maybe at one time they were the gold star but now many are up there . I have an all gas range Bertazzoni and double electric wallovens but I run a catering biz from my home. IMO Ilke both types of ovens since pizza and bead IMO bake nicer in a gas oven. You need to figure out what you cook and how you cook it. IMO no one needs a 48" range unless they cook for 20 3x aday even commercial kitchens often have just a 36" range . Go to a good appliance store and ideally one that does demos on the weekend, that way you get to see how other choices could work.IMO a taster oven will do the small stuff and then get a cooktop if you love the wall ovens you have . IMo appliances are the backbone of a kitchen and need lots of thought to get right and I always start my kitchen designs after the appliances have been chosen.

Thank you for your valuable opinion.

Note that a 48" range will need a hood that is 54" wide. Do you want to deal with the purchase, installation, and required ductwork for such a large hood?

I have to agree with Patricia re. size, etc. I cook every day and couldn't be without my gas range, GE Cafe double oven, which I love. That said, in a perfect world, I would have an electric oven too for baking.

It's not just the hood, it's the makeup air. If you've already educated yourself on that and you are ready to manage the ventilation piece, great. If not, you may want to get a kitchen designer who does, so you don't buy an expensive range and then find out your kitchen doesn't meet code because all you've done is install a hood and you haven't considered the rest of the ventilation requirements.

Regarding specifically the wolf 48" range - I do not have it, but I have heard from many that the small 18" oven is not very usable. A 30" double oven range is probably more versatile, or a rangetop with a double wall oven. Note that a 36" rangetop will also need a larger hood and possibly makeup air (I have an 8" duct for a passive makeup air system in my home for my 600 CFM hood).

I would prefer 36” range with more counter space.

Electric ovens are better for baking (but wolf makes dual fuel ranges).

@stellarceline wolf dual fuel ranges are on backordered for a year as per the sales person. i wanted that initially but they are unavailable to order.

@anj_p thank you for the response. i have a designer I am working with. we are going to construct hood with 1200 CFM external blower.

Do not under estimate the cost of the venting and makeup air requirement. It can cost as much as the range.
