Is Gaggenau or Miele better?

Gaggenau has had a convection steam oven long before Miele, Thermador, and Wolf, and it is still the best and most versatile. However, with Gaggenau, you have a very distinctive, industrial style designed by Bang & Olufsen. Your kitchen will be different looking with Gaggenau products than any other brand.
