Wolf, Viking, and the other "these people want a fancy appliance, but don't have the sense to know what that really should mean, put lots of stainless steel on it, and take their money" brands don't have the sales volumes to work out problems. If GE designs a stove that doesn't work right, they find out fairly fast, because they sell more in a week or two than viking does in a year. So they sell things that break, and when they break, the people who service them say "Hmm. Idiot with too much money, charge double.", so they cost a lot to fix. |
