So they will fulfill but around 3 months ago they sent out a memo to the dealers advising another parts issue so tack on 3 more months to lead times. We do sell plenty of these and 14 months has been the longest someone has waited. Mean while they ended up with many “legacy” in stock units lately. If it is a stainless unit vs panel ready I have a few in stock and would be glad to help you out. BI48SSth. BI48ssPh, BI48SIDSTH
So you definitely need to go higher end based on your sizes and panelling needs. Take a look at two other options Thermador as they offer all you need and have a fantastic rebate. Also please consider Ge Monogram as they two have some nice options. End of the day you will need to spend a little more to get into this quality and look of appliance.
I would rate them
Sub Zero Wolf
Thermador
Monogram
Fisher Paykel
not many other good choices. Make sure you take advantage of any builder programs as many of these companies offer em.
As you know the government seems to be pushing electric and slowly moving away from gas so many brands are starting to introduce more induction options. 48 is still a tough size you did your correct homework. Fisher paykel is a great hybrid option, Fulgor the best for all induction and one of the newer one but service lacking at the moment. Bert due out in 3-6 months and does have a better service network. On the AGA I just dont love it, ovens small flimsy side panels and doesnt seem to be made as good as it looks.
Thermador just came out with a 36″ for now but I dont see a 48 from them for at least another year. No one else formally introduced any as of yet.
So Fulgor best for all and Fisher for a hybrid.. Bert when it comes out will be ok but prob priced in their range.
