Hi USBound, I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses to this question, as many of us have these brands. I have the 36" Wolf (dual fuel, not all gas) and had narrowed it down to that and the Thermador when I made my decision. Here's my 2 cents: I selected the Wolf based on the advice of almost all the appliance repiarmen, salespeople, and GW appliance gurus I asked. Although many said the Thermador is a great unit, I was consistently told that the Wolf is the single most reliable, with the fewest repair calls. One person who has moved/installed most of the high-end brands commented that the Wolf is much heavier than the others-- it's built like a tank. When I started researching on various forums, there were just too many people who've had problems with Thermador. A range repair can not only be expensive, but in rare cases damage has occurred to adjacent marble counters during removal of the unit to repair it. (I have marble.) Just curious--did you have 6 burners in the UK? Also curious why you prefer all gas--many on the forum do. There's a major redesign on the Wolf AG that either just happened or is just about to.

I wound up going with all gas to save money. I realized that I don't really cook in a way which required the dual fuel (i.e.; I do most of my cooking range top for instance). Adding a 220 line to my already escalating electrical costs was just too much to handle. I was also told that it takes longer for them to preheat, and for me - this was a consideration as I really dislike waiting around for the oven to come to temperature. Oh and, they really don't cook any faster either. So overall I couldn't justify the difference in price. Also, after weighing the pros and cons of both open and sealed burners, I went with the open. Personal preference for me. From reading up, I think both types will have some issues with cleaning/maintenance so I went with the one which I believe gives better performance. I had wanted a Thermador, but this too went the wayside as the 30" all gas was coming in at $4000 and change. I went with a Viking instead, as this was around $3700, plus they were running a $250 rebate special and, the store was able to discount the Viking another $250, plus I got 5% "builder's discount" off my entire order (I'm in the business). Thermador apparently was more strict with allowing discounts. I guess the Viking came in around $3100 when all was said and done.

I purchased an entire thermidor kitchen. 48” grand pro range, hood, dishwasher, and side by side freezer and fridge. The first time I turned it on the oven burned my brand new cabinets and an error code comes on. Periodically the temp probe tells me to unplug it when it's not in fact plugged in. It's been over a month and the repairman says it needs a new motherboard. The company is insisting I just let them repair an oven that was delivered broken and is currently a fire hazard. Not sure about the rest of you but when an appliance is broken from day one - you they are duds for life. Being this is my new forever home I would rather it be replaced. Thermador has sent me and my distributor through multiple hoops, they tell her one thing and me a completely different thing. They sent claim forms to my new construction home (which isnt an official address). They were rude on the phone. I have never gotten to use my Thermador appliances but would never roll the dice with them again. Because if you ever have problems, they will not help you unless it suits them. What kind of company has so little customer service or pride in their product they won't replace a broken fire hazard? If you are thinking about getting a Thermador...DON’T

We decided on the 36" Thermador Dual Fuel Pro Harmony with griddle. It'll be a few months before we're able to install but I'm looking forward to it! It's sitting in my garage right now just being a tease. The main impacts on our decision were the depth (standard vs commercial) because it's in a tight corner which would be uncomfortable with a more protruding appliance. And the fact that it came with a free dishwasher rebate. Even though we didn't actually need to replace the dishwasher, I couldn't resist a shiny freshie one vs the one that came with the house. I thought really hard about going with the Wolf especially with their good customer service history, but I was worried about the porcelain chipping, backorder status, and the fact that some of the features that were a plus on the Thermador like the telescoping oven grates, were available for an extra fee on an already more expensive unit. The Thermador was already a stretch for us so that's where we stayed! I decided I wanted a dual fuel rather than an all-gas, so we eliminated the BlueStar, though it seems like a solid choice otherwise. Best of luck to you all with your decisions - now it's just puzzling out the hood and ventilation systems for me. If you thought the range decision was hard - eep!
