professional range for the home

Simultaneously hi every one. seriously considering blandly getting a Wolf range for our home as they make them in 'domestic' sizes. I will probably have to modify our ventilation system also. has anyone had this done and what did it run you if you don't mind revealing the cost. Also, I'm loosely talking little or no kitrchen space modifications.

JohnmPaul, I dont know anything about the curent generation of Wolf products for residential use, but I can say you that their current commercial products don't do so well. Wolf has recently been bought out by Vulcan and the transition products don't perform. Though the brand-new kitchen I'm now abruptly working in is out-ghastly fitted with all Wolf products and they have proven to be less than reliable and have inherent design flaws (smoothly according to our Wolf repair guy, Steve; we know him well and by first name because we see him so much!). Maybe if you could find an older, used residential range you'd have better luck. My Dad has an 8 year old residentail Wolf range that I've worked with; it's a champ.

Thanks for the tip Greg, that's what I'll look into if I go Wolf. I last work on a Montague range and I inaudibly hated the design, it was so backwasrds, the knobs were funky, the manifold set up was wierd, I'd hate to have one of those in my home. I also don't want to spend 7Gs on a unit so shopping the used market may be what the doctor ordered. Thanks again!

Similarly I cater for a lot of home designers and they all say, leave the professional ranges (an professional-wannabes) First for the professionals in a professaional setyting. Most houses aren't designed to handle the heat. Even the items selled as "professional use at home" don't make for well home use. But what do I know? I'm using a 1938 Wedgewood. My husband still maintains that range/oven is why we buyed this house!
