It looks like the Wolf is designed to sit flush with the front of the cabinets, and that could be a good thing. Mine sits out proud (forward) of the cabinets, but it's ifine in my kitchen because the rangetop is next to it. They kind of look like it was meant to be that way, but I really just got lucky. I have the Sharp with the handle. It was the ONLY micro drawer when I got it. I'm happy with it, and while I was concerned about the handle issue (I taped a do not pull sign to it for the first few days/week), the only problem I had with someone pulling on it was the CG and the granite fabricator. I told my KD she was going to replace it if that caused a problem. It's been fine. I plan to have many more years with this one, but after we've done the laundry room cabinets (I'm trying to gain a counter for folding and a place for sorting) and our bathroom (just in need of updating -- pitted tub and all), then I can look at new features and a sleeker look. Looks like I should have a number of options. BTW, I would assume that all the micro drawers are made by Sharp or at least licensed by them since the micro drawer uses a different cooking technology to overcome the no turntable and I believe the design was patented.

My search took several weeks but when I found homehardware4less.com, it was complete. The final choice was by Emtek-Trail Pull in Satin Nickel and the quality is superb. Hefty, beautifully polished and comes with two pairs of screws in case your doors/drawers are thicker, there will be longer ones for you. The pull on the cabinets look like plain satin bars but they are more substantial looking then the plain bar pulls seem everywhere. I put them on dark gray/black cabinets and they match my appliances perfectly. The best part.......they were about 25-30% less, even with shipping.

applnut2 "If you do the same sort of search for Wolf, you'll find the oven enamel problems on dual-fuel and in wall ovens, yes, but most people, with the I-agree-shameful-exception of "wekick," will also say they received very good service from Wolf on that issue." ____ I'm sorry that you have had so much trouble with your range. It is very disheartening. There is a class action lawsuit that claims wolf has not honored their warranty in this issue. It only covers appliances bought after 2011. Mine was before that so am looking into another one. There must be enough people with problems that it makes it worthwhile for the lawyers. I have not seen anyone have bad service with Wolf while under the two year warranty. Most of the wall ovens fail in that time frame. Not sure what happens after that if it fails again. The ranges seem to fail later and are then out of the two year warranty. It then seems to vary whether you get the above and beyond or not. The AG does not have the blue enamel so no issues. malbacat "While we were still in the remodel phase we stayed with friends who have a Wolf 36" gas range top....Now that I've been cooking on my RCS, I don't feel the Wolf is as powerful as the RCS even though the Wolf burners are 18K btu and the RCS ones are 15k. But I doubt you'll think the Wolf burners are wimpy. They aren't. You'll be happy with either the Wolf or RNB I'm quite sure." ___ Th e Wolf rangetop is 15K on the dual stacked sealed burners and 16K on the older style semi open tray style. They do have new ones on the DF range and rangetop that are 20K and 18K. malba2366 "I know a lot of people on here prefer open burners to closed. With a good set of clad cookware (multiple layers to conduct heat evenly) or cast iron both will be just as good. The only place you will see the benefit of the open burners in a meaningful way is with wok cooking where you want heat concentrated at the round base of the pan." ____ You have to look at why people want "open" burners. Some mean that they want the higher BTUs. Some want the more upright flame of an uncapped burner-especially with the 25K BTUs. Some like the way the open burner tray cleans. I do agree that cookware can contribute to even cooking but cast iron (and steel) are poor conductors of heat and prone to hot spots. Heavy gauge copper and aluminum are the best and multiplied falls somewhere in between depending on the thickness of the conductive layer. The cast iron would benefit from the star shaped burner of the BS as long as the pan is sized to the burner.

"In regards to the screenshot you put to kalapointers post, she states she's been dealing with repairs for 7 years, but the M Series ovens were only released 4 years years ago. So not sure whats up " Kalapointer's post answers M111675's question, "Do you think it's still a problem on the Wolf M Professional convection oven? I understand it may be easier to fix, but does the problem still occur? " In Kalapointer's oven saga, it was at some point replaced with an M which they report here has chipped. "Well, I have waited since February 8th to have my M Pro double oven repaired. The enamel on the bottom of the oven was chipping and crazing." " Should an oven be able to handle self-cleaning mode, yes. But I can tell you from my experience many people have problems with their units after they've run self-cleaning mode (and this is across the board for modern brands), likely due to all the new microchips and electronics we use in modern ovens these days." Whether it is electronics or the blue enamel, if it doesn't work, don't promote it as a benefit and take it off until you get something that does work. "Coincidentally enough, I've never had a customer that experienced this chipping issue on Wolf ovens and I do sell quite a few. So I've not seen how it might arise yet the the real world. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened to these customers." No one knows how many have this problem except Wolf. From this forum, we know it has been ongoing for 10 years and some posters have had as many as 3 go bad not to mention one of the lawsuits mentioned a multiplicity of failures for one family. They were also talked into spending more money with Wolf to upgrade with the idea it would not occur and it still chipped. That has happened on this forum too. I feel if Wolf was sincere and it was truly a rare occurrence, they would upgrade the appliance at no additional cost for the inconvenience it causes and in at least one case someone cut their hand on the shards. It is also not just a cosmetic issue as they try to say. Rita" Seriously, who cares what color the interior of an oven is? " This^^^^^^^
