Our problem is that we live off-grid. On our current range there is a solenoid that keeps the gas line open when the power is on. That makes it as useless as an electric range for people who live in areas that lose power occasionally. That's not a problem for us as we have backup generators, but that solenoid does drain power from the batteries at night.

We're just looking for quality without any (or many) bells and whistles. Our Wolf cost at least $200 a year for igniter repair. I have read, though, that they have made them user serviceable. We were, otherwise, very happy with the Wolf for 16 years.

Thanks!

Pat
