Wolf Cooking Appliances Reviews

Think twice if you live in a hot climate. I purchased a $13000.00 Wolf oven and quickly noticed it actively blows very hot air from the bottom vents, directly into the house. This lasts for the duration of the cook as well as for an additional hour as it cools down. Provides as much hot air as a space heater and heats up the entire main level of the house (we have a 7000 sq ft house). Not a problem in the winter, but can't use in the summer. It does cook well however this oven needs an external vent.

Customer Support is virtually non-existent. The first time I called, it was after 4:30 pm Eastern time, and they were closed. I called today, Friday, at 2:00 pm Eastern time, and was forwarded to a cheap-sounding answering machine that instructed me to leave my name, telephone number, email, and description of the issue. All I wanted to do was ask a question. Good to know this is how they operate, as in the future I will not buy any product in the Sub-Zero family. Wanted to "buy American," but these folks are their own worst enemy.

I have a Wolf dual-fuel 60-inch range. It is the best purchase I have ever made and it is 20 years old. I have a large family and do most holidays! It still looks beautiful, cooks wonderful, use meat probes, cooks perfectly. The quality is there and the Sub-Zero Wolf company has the best customer service. We about 3 years ago replaced microwave convection oven with a Wolf steam oven. Another great purchase, I use that oven every day and told my husband for months, "You know what I love?" His answer, "Your steam oven!" So follow your instruction books to get the most out of appliances, and if you can, buy Wolf, it's worth it!!!!

Wolf gas cooktop just will not start and switches off itself. Keep trying until eventually it starts. Been going on for years and no one can fix them. It is worst money ever spent.

I will start by saying I have owned their ovens and by extension Sub-Zero refrigerators for years, but will completely change brands this upcoming year when we remodel our kitchen. This company has went downhill. Sure, they make a quality product, but a product is only as good as the support the company provides. My double oven quit working in November, I set up with my local affiliated contractor to repair it, spoke to Wolf MYSELF multiple times, got the parts on order and thought I'd receive a call in at most a month to schedule a service. It's now been 4.5 months and still waiting on parts. Yes, the oven is an older model but, the part that's been on hold IS A SERIAL TAG. (A sticker).

Very disappointed in the Wolf 36 inch gas range. I am constantly having a problem with the cook top. If any liquid drips just above the knobs on the edge of the cook top, a burner’s ignition starts clicking and I have to turn off the breaker to the range and wait until it stops clicking.

We bought a Wolf Smart oven/microwave when we remodeled our kitchen. We bought it based on the company's reputation and I also wanted an extra oven for holidays. Well I was very disappointed. The spring on the door kept breaking. It's just my husband and me living here so it was not abused. We had the repairman come out three times to fix because it kept happening. So we came up with our own fix, put a shim in the side of the door when operating. It's a shame at how much we paid for it and have a piece of wood stuck in it to work. Other than the door problem I like the oven.

We purchased the whole package for our Norson Construction lake home in Brainerd MN. The Bosch dishwasher after 5 service calls replaced. Double ovens Wolf junk less than 2 years old. Haven’t worked for over for over 2 months. On our 4th service call. We purchased from Ferguson in the Twin Cities. Just junk. Don’t buy. I see their reviews are under 2 on this site. I wish we knew high end appliances. What a joke.

We had an M series wall double convection oven installed in May 2024 as part of a major kitchen renovation. The oven circuit board has twice gone bad. The reliability of this product is bad, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

My husband and I purchased a Wolf stove in July 2025 at Standard TV & Appliance in Portland, OR. We did so because the stove itself was one that my husband had wanted for many years and we finally decided to spend the $7000 on the unit. (36" 4 burner gas range). We had it professionally installed. This has been the most worthless purchase we have ever made. First, Standard TV & Appliance did not stand behind their product. We shopped there primarily because we wanted to support a local business. (Next time I will be purchasing my oven from Costco!) Standard TV & Appliance simply handed us over to Wolf's "factory repair" place in Portland, the Appliance Hospital.)

I would not buy Wolf products again. Big price tag for poor product. I have had double Wolf ovens for 9 years. About 4 years into owning them, the self cleaning cycle stopped working on one of the ovens. We had them looked at several times and was finally told that the board needed to be replaced. Needless to say, I could have just about bought a new oven for what that cost. When you buy a high end appliance, you expect it to last. These have been a disappointment.

Updated on 11/05/2025: I wish I could update my original post but here we are. It took 3 service calls to get a working touch display and now the oven is offline due to a stalled fan. Service should arrive NEXT WEEK but it just adds stress to the holiday season.

Hi we bought all Wolf kitchen appliances and are very happy with all except the microwave. It's the one that mounts in lower cabinet. The main panel does not light up and is very hard to see. Sales person tried to steer us away from buying but I wanted to stay with Wolf. Should have listened. Called Wolf. They sent someone out right away to look but it's the design; all other companies are light up, bad design.

I purchased the Wolf Counter Oven about 3 1/2 years ago. The warranty on this item is 5 years. I paid almost $800 (Wolf just came out with their counter ovens). After 3 1/2 years the oven started doing weird things. I should only take a maximum of 10 minutes to heat up it was taking 20-30 minutes. There were times I would see the temperature stuck no matter how I turned the knob. When using convection one side would cook much faster than the other. There were many issues. I contacted Customer Service and they sent me out a replacement oven. I didn't realize they sent out a REFURBISHED oven. I didn't pay almost $800 for a refurbished oven. Now it's been 2 1/2 months later and this oven is acting up.

I bought 48” gas range for our new home in in 2022. It was installed 2023. The range looks great but for this price it is highly unreliable: I had to call repair company twice in these two years: both sides of the range stopped igniting. The small oven was not closing properly… honestly I didn’t have that many issues while using my old cheap gas stove for 10 years. The repairs are very expensive as well. Not worth it.

I purchased a Sub Zero refrigerator, Cove dishwasher, Wolf range top and wolf double ovens in May. Immediately upon installation, two burners on the range top would stick and continuously click, making them unusable. After two attempts to repair it, Wolf concluded that there was a problem with the frame and they would replace it. I am still waiting. They tell me they cannot find any installers willing to install it. I don’t know where this leaves me, or what to do about it.

We bought a Wolf Range/Oven two months ago. While beautiful aesthetically, I regret this purchase. This is an impossible tame and oven to clean. Because you cannot use ANY abrasive (even the blue end of a sponge because it will scratch), the oven and stove never ever are clear. They always have grease bubbles and acne that, no matter what you use, do not clean off. I deeply regret buying this beautiful stove — if you never cook or bake, impress your friends, but if you cook and bake, buy a GE instead and save your pain.

We purchased a home with Wolf appliances and have been nothing but pleased with their customer service. You get a live person when you call and you find resolution within minutes. The price tag of a Wolf appliance is steep, but you will not need to replace it for 20 years and when/if something goes wrong before then, in my experience, customer service will offset the cost of repairs to make your investment worth it. Could not be more pleased with my interactions.

Unfortunately the design engineers at sub-zero/Wolf range have failed to take into account how hot the stop of the stove gets when cooking a large pot. There are these silicon feet that cushion the surface burner grills which are not able to withstand the heat of the propane flame and therefore crack and fall out. In the one and a half years that I have owned this stove I have replaced no fewer than four of these feet. I did insist that they send me a good supply but at this rate I'm not going to get six or seven years out of the stove before I have to go and find those feet and buy them for myself. Lovely stove but they clearly made a mistake in choosing this material. Bad engineering. Do not buy a wolf.

The Wolf Speed Oven is probably one of the worst appliances I have ever owned. Have had it for a 1 1/2 years and it is always malfunctioning. Replaced once, repaired around 6 times now and it's still not working properly. When you microwave, or reheat, water and steam vapors pour out of the door. Unfortunately, that causes water leaking into the control panel of the main oven below it. Recently, the hinges broke, so the door was in danger of falling off when you opened the oven. Argh such fun. Wolf has been obnoxious about repairs to it. Repair people do as best as they can - all have agreed this thing is not worth the money and actually kind of a piece of junk....

Nothing but headaches. Several breakdowns on appliances. Built a 7M luxury house and "thought" I would go for top quality appliances. Bought the M Series top of the line wall oven and steam oven. Oven broke after a year. Fan sounded like a truck and had to be replaced. Steam oven computer fried after 2 years. Grill broke over the flush mount cooktop. The built in coffee machine is the only thing that has not broken but occasionally has an error message where you have to run water through it to go away. I always use the recommended descalers and baby them but in reality they are poorly made and a continual headache and time vampire.

I have a new Wolf range that came with my new house as a package deal. I do love my Subzero refrigerator but the Wolf range leaves much to be desired. The cooktop works great but I really HATE the ovens. The smaller oven has no broiler (just an FYI) and no matter what I've tried to cook in it, it just doesn't cook well. I tried cookies that I've been making for years and they just don't brown up.

The hinges on our speed oven cause it not to shut securely. It is inconsistent and requires an extra push, which may or may not do the job. If it does not shut securely, it won't run. The fan comes on but no heat. We're having to have the hinges replaced at considerable expense since it is out of warranty. If it weren't for that, we'd be happy with it but it has been frustrating.

Don't bother, Temu quality. We remodeled our kitchen last year. My wife insisted to get set of Wolf Speed microwave oven, big oven under and the induction cooktop. The 3K microwave oven SPO30TE/S/TH hinges stuck so you can't open the door and the door handle got loose too only after 12 months of light use. Warranty crew arrived fast though, they sprayed DW40 on hinges to unlock the door and ordered new hinges, and in case the inside door cover which usually brakes during hinges change. They back after a week, removed microwave, of course broke the new cover they ordered, then broke my old cover, assembled everything together and promised to order new cover for next attempt and left.

I can't even explain how disappointing my experience has been with my WOLF range and hood. Honestly the biggest waste of money ever!!! I purchased as an Ex Chef hoping to have an ultimate cooking experience. The hood holds a light napkin, which is acceptable to WOLF standards. Ridiculous! My microwave performed better than this piece of garbage. It's attractive, but does not perform. And the range!!! Ha!!! What a joke! Burners don't work if you are cooking multiple dishes. Wolf suggests it's a gas issue. Nope, we have had plumbers and HVAC out. It's the stove, but WOLF will never own up to it. My wife and I have taken off multiple time slots of our days to accommodate their service tech to diagnose problems. Nothing ever gets solved, and WOLF never owns up to us that we have a lemon. Or is it? Do they just make garbage products??? Sad!

10K double oven lasted 2.5 years. I am speechless. Really expected with prices like this the quality to be much higher. It's beyond disappointing. Night before Thanksgiving fan stopped working and both ovens shut down. Agh..

We put all Wolf/ Subzero/ Asko appliances in during a remodel in 2018. Since then the company has separated from Asko so is no help with issues with dishwasher (already has needed 3 service appointments). Our Wolf downdraft fan has never worked consistently (won’t come up to run). Now, the 3rd time we are having it worked on we are waiting many months for parts, can’t reach the company to see when there will be parts. Service company we are using is certified Subzero Wolf group, says part not even being made at this time and told us to track it down with Wolf, but their customer service number is not working. I have spent hours on this while paying premium for appliances and for service. I recommend against buying from Wolf Subzero. It is a waste of money for appliances you can buy for a fraction of the price.

We saved up to purchase an entire kitchen of Wolf appliances and spent $46K. We were promised $4K in countertop appliances as a promotion. We waited over two years for appliances to be delivered. Then had to wait to get on an installation schedule. Wolf’s countertop appliance promotion required serial numbers and installation date before they would honor promotion. When I turned in all the required information I was informed promotion expired and Wolf will not honor it. I paid for my appliances in full and waited almost two years for my appliances and this is the customer service I receive!? Not happy. So much for buying American products.

The wolf range works beautifully. Cleaning it, is not fun. I like cooking and cooking can be messy. Unless you clean up while the mess is fresh, you're in bad shape. I needed to ask my husband to take it apart so I can soak off the enamel. If you like a great stove and you'd like to keep it in pristine condition, the Wolf is not it. If you don't mind dirt and grime and you want a great stove, The Wolf is it.

Four years ago we completed our new home and proudly displayed our Wolf/Subzero/Cove kitchen. We have a built in range top with flat iron grill -that burst into flames because grease from using it has nowhere to go. Our Subzero fridge beeps everyday letting us know there is something wrong, (sometimes the beeping starts at 3:30 am). Our Cove dishwasher came with broken thermostat which was a recall item so it has been repaired. Our wall ovens have never heated evenly and the top door has sprung rendering it useless. I am absolutely heartbroken and disgusted with this brand. We do not have a repairman closer than 100 miles. I cannot recommend these brands to anyone.

Impossible to clean stove top. Anytime even a little water gets on it it starts to click incessantly. Have to pull the whole range - extremely heavy - out from the wall to unplug it. Multiple service calls including replacing one of the burners hasn’t fixed it. I rarely cook anymore as a result.

Range issues from get go. Igniters keep clicking after lit. Wolf never resolved. Now the range is close to 20 years old. Repairman called the Wolf tech line, they brushed him off & told him to sell me a new oven. DON’T BUY WOLF SUBZERO. When I called about issues shortly after having it professionally installed, they told me it was because I have a propane converter on it. This was a lie to get me off their back. I will probably have to throw this junk out and buy something else. I will be so glad to be done with Wolf!

We purchased a 30" double wall oven as part of a remodel in 2018. We were willing to spend a little extra on a quality brand that is considered a luxury appliance. $10,000 and almost 6 years later, we realize that was a huge mistake. Since we've owned the oven, we've had five service technicians out to the house to fix various problems that have come up with it. We even once had the oven replaced! Yesterday was the last and final straw when our oven broke down yet again. The technician quoted us $1800 for the repair, which I later found out from speaking with a Wolf "advocate" could not even be fixed! The problem is a probe socket issue, and that it cannot be repaired because there is no part that can be replaced due to it being put in before the porcelain coating was done and it's part of the frame of the oven! How convenient.

This review is a year into using a 30” Wolf dual fuel range used daily. I owned a 30” Wolf gas range for 17 years. Simple and a real workhorse. A year ago I replaced it with a 30” Wolf dual fuel. As expected it is well-built and nice looking. This version is a lot more “automated” than my previous Wolf. Features I never use, all hidden behind slow moving control panel. I’m sure Wolf/Subzero spent a lot of time developing these features, but I just see them as more crap to break. Glad they are hidden most of the time. The oven light is only accessed by opening the slow moving control panel, it should just be a switch on the oven face. The electric oven is fine; heats up quickly, pretty even heat and good hot broiler.

We purchased Wolf ovens about 4 years ago for our second home and we rarely use them, but have had nothing but problems. Replaced control panel, worked for a while and now it has completely shut down and I can’t get it on right in time for thanksgiving. I am upset beyond words. Please do your research before purchasing these appliances. They’re beautiful, but the costs we have endured are insane.

Purchased the Wolf 30" Dual Fuel Range and paid for it in August 2022 for $8000. Not low cost. Damage occurred when it was installed in February 2023. 7 months later and numerous calls to their authorized factory service center and not even a schedule yet to repair this damage. Totally disappointed at the service for a supposedly premium product.

I would like to express how disappointed I am with the service that I got from the minute the Wolf Pro Cook Series 36" Gas range was installed. I had the Gas Range installed on July 29, 2023 and on July 30, 2023 the Charbroiler knob was not working properly. This high end appliance was not working the next day after install and I could not believe that. I called in today July 31st, 2023 to have the appliance serviced and was told that I would have to wait one week to have a technician come out. After insisting I was given an emergency service date which will be on August 03, 2023 to have a technician come out. This is unbelievable... Horrible service for such an expensive appliance!

I am writing to express my disappointment with the Wolf 48 6 burner gas stove that I recently purchased, it was supposed to be one of the high end stove and it costed us more than $16000. Unfortunately, the stove has not lived up to my expectations, and I feel that it has been a poor investment. Ever since we got the stove installed in May 2022, we had five service calls already, first with broken Grill, and the next three times are the burners, they just stopped working out of blue. We treat the stove as gentle as we do to a baby, it still breaks for no reason. Three days again, I turned on the left stove and that stopped working too. This is the WORST stove we have ever had, although the most expensive one. I am very disappointed in the quality of this product and do not feel that it is worth the price that I paid.

Purchased Speed oven along with other appliances from Pirch. Waited for a year for appliances. Finally got the Speed oven installed after two weeks it broke and have been waiting for parts to come in for 7 months, keep receiving emails that the part is delayed.

During a kitchen remodel I replaced all my 20-year old Kitchen-Aid appliances (which were all trouble free) with all Wolf and Sub-Zero. I was repeatedly told by sales that spending the extra money would be worth the quality. The gas cooktop did not work right out of the box (professionally installed)--so that speaks to quality right there. Rather than being able to take it back for a working model, I had to sit and wait for a repair service---on a brand new appliance!
