Quality of burner
Both Bertazzoni and wolf ranges and oven comes with Brass burners. The main advantage of using a brass burner on cooktops is it doesn’t change its shape and size when heated. It is rust-free and one of the best heat conductor materials available on the market.
Wolf offers a dual-stacked sealed burner with precise flame control. The advantage of having a dual-stack burner is, that it helps to achieve a super low simmer level. Even you can expect that much low simmer from its 20,000 BTU burners.
Quality of Grates
The grates of the oven are important to support your pots and pans when they are filled with food and cooked on a high flame. I found the wolf ranges and oven has top quality grate than the Bertazzoni. You can feel its quality when you take it in your hand. It is made of porcelain-coated cast iron with silicon feet. It is stretch resistance as well.
Quality of Door
Both brands come with good quality doors and sturdy and strong door hinges. I found the Wolf offers much better build quality and material in its components than the Bertazzoni.
Price
Wolf ranges and ovens will cost you much higher than the Bertazzoni because they deliver outstanding performance, and appearance, without compromising the quality of their product.
On the other hand, Bertazzoni has several different options to choose from some are professional and premium series, and others are classic and budgetary.
After-sale service
Wolf offers better after-sale services to its customers. Any problem you face with the ranges or ovens they are available 24*7 to assist you.
Whereas Bertazzoni offers 2 years of warranty on their products.
Final Words
Both brands are worth investing in, however, I would go with the wolf ranges and ovens because of their high performance and superior build quality.
In Bertazonni, aesthetics are very impressive but the performance doesn’t match up to the beauty.
Wolf ranges and ovens will cost you much higher than the Bertazzoni. If your budget is tight and wants a decent range or oven under your tight budget then go with Bertazzoni.
