I'd be completely sold on SKS if they had more induction burners than gas on the cooktop - and I can do without the sous vide given there are a lot of options for that already (including similar results using a combi steam oven). Ideally, I'd want a gas wok burner and the rest induction; could be sold on a infrared grill though for air quality probably better to grill outside. Their 48" French door refrigerator is super nice - I love the attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing how their line up evolves.
Sub Z and Miele promote 20+ year longevity on their appliances. Fran recently commented that we should expect most appliances to break down within 7-10 years. Do you guys believe that brands like SKS and Thermador are closer to Sub Z and Miele in quality or closer to the 7-10 year lifespan? I know appliances are fickle but I’m asking big picture. Thanks!
I love that SKS has the steam oven. I'm not interested in the sous vide. I'd like all induction or 4-6 induction 2 gas, etc. If they sold it with "modules," you could pick, it would be a winner. Sous Vide is a nice novelty thing to try, but I'd never pay for it in a range. Also, we want color choices, not just stainless. I did call SKS, and they acted like the Sous Vide was the most requested option out there. They are wrong.
I'm in the market for a 36" all gas range and I've narrowed down my choices to SKS, Thermador and Wolf. This video is very helpful but I still cannot decide! SKS has a better griddle and oven but Thermador seems like a safer choice from a service/reliability standpoint. Wolf BTU output isn't as strong and only has a single convection oven but the service is hard to beat. Help! I'm going crazy reading reviews trying to decide.

Excellent comparison

Anyone can say 20 years...backing it up is another story. That said, I like both brands
lol sub Z and Miele will no last 20 years. Maybe the old old sub Z. Not the new ones
Love these videos! Can you do a comparison of SKS vs Monogram please?
Why yes we can....
I absolutely love the sks dual fuel but wish the souvvide was a griddle
Thanks!

They are wrong...BUT I just saw a demo. amazing.

What do you like to do? SKS is an amazing unit for features, while the other two have better name recognition, etc
No induction cooktop comparison?
Any idea when new Thermador refrigerator will be released?
Good question....
As a builder, I noticed that Thermador has much better brand cachet than SKS.
I agree only because SKS is new.....but for features, you now have many brands to consider
It's because of star partner programs.
They're both no doubt great appliance ranges. BUT: you'll have ONLY the boring, ubiquitous STAINLESS STEEL to choose from. No thanks.
I know...Then again, people will never recoil in horror looking at stainless
