Do a search at the bottom of the page. I was in your exact spot several months ago. I can only tell you what I did and was and still is happy with my decision. I was also torn between the Wolf and Thermador. (I honestly liked the looks of the Thermador better) Also torn between the AG & DF. I read everything on this site and anywhere else I could find info and I bought the Wolf 36"DF. I am not one bit sorry with my choice. I have a very inexpensive gas range at our cabin and it works for where it is but I have been baking and cooking for over 30 years and I just bit the bullet and paid more $$$$ for the DF. My adult children tell me my cookies and pies have never been better. The convection oven bakes and roasts sooooo much faster.

"The enamel chipping has been well described due to frequent use of the high heat self-cleaning function." i don't think anyone, including Wolf, knows why the enamel is breaking down and I can't think of anyone who has had the issue, who has blamed it on cleaning too frequently. The chipping has been talked about on this forum for the last 10 years and if Wolf could fix it, surely they would have. Some have speculated it might be from any use of the self clean. It has shown up after only one self clean. I only used mine 3 or 4 times in 4.5 years but it did show up after the last clean. Some have never used the self clean though and had the enamel degrade. "f you're going to use that function frequently and not take the time to clean out minor spills on a regular basis with simple methods like a sponge and mild soap and water, then you shouldn't buy this wonderful range." So you blame the customer for an obvious manufacturer's defect? The manufacturer designed this range with self clean so you should be able to use the self clean whenever you want to. What usage pattern do you define as frequent? How many times should you be able to use the self clean? How many times is too many? How do you explain the people who haven't used the self clean? Nothing in Wolf's use and care manual mentions this or gives any such restrictions or warning. The interesting thing is that we stay in beach condos where the self clean is run almost every week that they are rented, on very inexpensive ovens and they have been fine over the years we have stayed there. Over many years and ovens, I have never had an issue with the self clean degrading enamel. I never gave it a thought. Surely an oven at Wolf's price could at least meet the same level of functionality as an inexpensive brand. Anyone who is considering Wolf products with a blue interior should read the comments posted here themselves to get an idea of how these problems develop. There are law suits over this. I would agree the oven bakes well and I loved it for the 4.5 years that it was intact and posted on this forum about how great it was. A champion of Wolf I was. I was quite shocked and dismayed when it happened to me. Even more so when I experienced the "superior service" from Wolf. The kicker is they don't even stand behind a replacement liner IF you choose to pay their unknown price to repair. The warranty on the new part is for one year. Real confidence on their part. If someone does want to buy this oven, I would not run the self clean at all even though some still have the problem without running it. Periodically wipe a damp paper towel over the bottom looking for tiny blue shards hopefully finding any damage before the warranty is gone. Buy the longest extended warranty you can without exclusions on the enamel. Consider the Wolf all gas if you want Wolf as it does not have the blue liner.

We had our Kucht serviced 4 times now and it still does not work. Much because they are selling a range that does not live up to the features it is supposed to have. My recommendation is not to buy Kucht, you will only be frustrated and angry.

@mrykbee This was one from 2021 it has been going on earlier than 2011 if you go back. i think there was another thread too. This is the thread at the bottom https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2267417/breaks-in-enamel-finish-of-relatively-new-wolf-oven#n=48
