The Best 36-inch Dual-Fuel Ranges of 2022

You might assume that Wolf commands a high price for its well-known brand name and famous red knobs. But we found a lot of substance behind its famous design.

Although we prefer Thermador’s burners to Wolf’s for high-heat cooking, these certainly aren’t shabby. The dual-stacked design requires a little more interaction but rewards the user with superior control.

If you choose the DF364C, it comes with an infrared charbroiler in the center—perfect for steaks, chicken, and grilled vegetables even if it’s raining outside (the DF366—shown—does not). The oven bakes and roasts evenly, but also adds unique modes for proofing bread and drying fruit.

German manufacturer Miele is best-known for its modern-style appliances, which fit a European design sensibility. The company’s first-ever range is designed specifically for the U.S. market, but it still has a sleek, streamlined look.

That makes it different from the other ranges we tested, which have restaurant-inspired features like knurled steel handles and chunky controls. Instead, this Miele is designed for ease of use. Dishwasher-safe continuous grates, a fingerprint-free finish, and a swivel-open handle are just the beginning.

Users can also choose from over 100 automatic recipes programmed into the M Touch smart cooking setup. The touchscreen takes a little getting used to, but we couldn’t argue with the Miele’s precise True Simmer burners that could also reach a boil in a blazingly fast five minutes. The convection oven baked evenly and was quick to preheat, too.

Unlike many other pro-style ranges, GE split the difference between the latest tech and a spartan experience. Users get a slew of bake and roast settings, a massive 5.75 cubic-foot self-cleaning oven, three sliding oven racks that can remain in the oven during cleaning, a griddle, and multi-part black rangetop grates that can handle a wok.

And it cooks well, too. Monogram is owned by GE, but there’s little in common between this range and an entry-level model. Burners simmered at some of the lowest temperatures we've ever recorded on a gas range, and the oven gave us cookies and cakes that were evenly cooked. We found no hot or cold spots to speak of.
