Yikes! Take a look at the closed captioning for Sub Zero, Wolfe & Cove section...Other than that, great video!

Would like to see Gaggenau dishwashers included in your dishwasher comparison reviews with the Miele and Cove dishwashers. Liking the racking design and push to open on the Gaggenau dishwashers. They seem to be overlooked in Yale appliance reviews. How do they wash? Do they have longevity?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Gaggenau? Its a better Bosch dishwasher with better hinging.

[@necrojoe]

I noticed you mentioned Dacor in your 2022 video, but not this one. Do you have any insights about them as they stand today?

[@YaleAppliance1]

They kind of faded a bit....Nobody really sells Dacor in this market

I have 36 inch kitchen aid that I want to replace with a 48”. I am so confused. I thought blue star and thermador as my choice of range with a vent a hood option. Now need to rethink for wolfe. What do you think

[@YaleAppliance1]

Depends on how you use it....BlueStar is more powerful. Thermador offers different features like steam.

[@foreverlearning9613]

Fantastic overview. And so true regarding finding out service options in your area before making decision. I had Miele microwave, oven and dishwasher installed in my new condo almost 16 years ago, had to replace the microwave and dishwasher less than 5 years in, continual problems multipled by the realization only one recommended service provider in my area and he was notoriously unreliable. Any new appliances moving forward I will contact the big service companies and ask them which appliances they had to service the most and will stay far away from them!

[@YaleAppliance1]

They will probably say the brands that pay em the least to fix

[@mattanderson4324]

Any thoughts on Heston for indoor products? It sounds like they make some really great grills for outdoors. They seem smaller than most companies, but claim to have a big footprint in commercial kitchens? I am fascinated with their outdoor products, but just curious as to why the indoor does not make the list.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Good question....we didnt have luck selling their range. Not sure what products other than the range are unique.

[@jasondong9721]

I went with combination of Gaggenau and SKS due to availability!

[@EvatheSteamOvenDiva]

Gaggenau offers a great steam oven, but the Wolf CSO, is yowzers! An amazing appliance!

[@kael2004]

What are your thoughts on 36” ranges versus 48”? If you have the space, is it worth it? Also, do you think the wolf all gas should be skipped since it is underpowered (go for dual fuel)?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Thats up to you....What would you use? Wolf all gas is great for griddle, grill, and French top. Its is a bit underpowered. However, when I started at Yale the max burner was 8-10,000 BTU.

[@cbrichey1]

I am interested in what you think of the Miele Refridgerator.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Made in the same factory as Thermador...Its a popular style. They will have a French door out, and the promotions are pretty compelling

[@Shoppincart]

Thank you Steve.

[@YaleAppliance1]

:)

[@pattirupp8599]

Why don’t you include Cove dishwasher in your comparisons? Are they just a poor product? Would love to see them included in your comparisons to know where they stand. Thanks!

[@YaleAppliance1]

So would I...but they have had production problems. When they free up, we will start comparing.

[@raoulroberts2024]

My fave is the Subzero, Wolf, & Cove group of brands.

[@EvatheSteamOvenDiva]

I’m definitely a fan too! Their CSO is fantastic!

[@chantalschmidt38]

Do you have a review on Fulgor?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Not yet

[@markkuantero1427]

Who really needs all the programs that are available? I only need that they are solid made and look good. Ok. Gaggenau and La Cornue are my favourites.

[@malcolmhaith8421]

What about the Fulgor Milano sofia 48" Pro Range? Induction

[@GraemeHein]

Steve, could have been clearer that True under counter products can fit a panel, something I learned from your videos! Only the full size products can't have a panel.

[@YaleAppliance1]

You are right....I was only thinking full size for whatever reason...

[@zalliumtradersltd2321]

Hestan didn't make it to the top 10?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Nope

[@4640280]

Is bosch not a good brand?

[@YaleAppliance1]

affordable luxury

[@EvatheSteamOvenDiva]

I’ve used the Bosch CSO and it’s a fine appliance. However, I definitely prefer the Wolf CSO as of 2024.

[@markkuantero1427]

Yes it is. Millions on people around the world like Bosch.

[@Saki630]

Why dont you do a video exposing the drought of options between $2000 to $6000 until you get to the first WOLF? Remodeling and getting new appliances, you cant get away from the cheap whirlpool look until you get some of the $1500-2500 stainless slide in options. Reading reviews from these $2000 ranges and $5000+ ranges (kitchenaide, zline, kutch, GE, bosch, ect.) all tell you they should have just spent less for a cheaper oven that is simple (and can buy again immediately) or spend more to get a quality product like Wolf. From $2k to $6k all the ovens seem to have issues with burners working properly, electric elements for the oven burning out, oven having chips, oven not heating evenly and support telling them to just rotate or increase oven temp to compensate, knobs breaking, writing on nobs and steel wearing out after a year of ownership, touch screens going out, adjacent cabinets heating up when Oven is on, 3week minimum time between you having an issue and someone trying to resolve it over the phone or email, the need to wait months for a technician to come by, and items you might need in 5-10years being discontinued and no longer stocked like those knobs you will damage or wear out.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Well, this video was on luxury appliances. I have other videos planned for how to buy a package from $2-10,000. You may want to check out our affordable luxury video as well.

Stay away from JennAir!

[@YaleAppliance1]

We don't sell it

[@CR-qu5jc]

@@YaleAppliance1 good, because you’d have a customer service nightmare

[@YaleAppliance1]

We service so we are somewhat insulated

[@CR-qu5jc]

@@YaleAppliance1 here is our story. we spent over $20k on all new rise appliances in October of 2022. In that time, the fridge completely died twice (the original we purchased and a replacement fridge) due to the compressor choking itself out, this is a known manufacturer defect that a rep from JennAir actually told us over the phone. . We built our kitchen to the specifications of the fridge. At least JennAir gave us our money back on the fridge and we purchased a subzero which has been rock solid. The dishwasher needed the motherboard replaced twice. The cooktop vent has been replaced twice due to the LED lights coming loose and dangling. This is a huge health issue as components of the vent can fall into your food. A technician suggested I glue them? Glue over a hot surface? That seems like a health hazard as well if something was to drop/drip into our food. Now our built in oven/microwave combo has been out of commission for the last month and a half and nobody knows how to fix it or will agree to give us a replacement at this point. It started with a fan/blower error, and multiple service calls “factory resets” and parts being replaced has done nothing. It’s also interesting that JennAir customer service told us that they stopped offering extended warranty’s on their appliances in March 2024. I’m assuming that’s because they are having major issues. It’s frustrating and I would understand if maybe we had issues with one appliance but we have had major failures on each appliance except the cooktop. the only luck we have had so far has been the gas cooktop which honestly has been amazing (knock on wood).

[@YaleAppliance1]

Not shocking
