I disagree on this one. We have a lacornue and it’s amazing. I use all of the features and love it. We’ve previously had a Wolfe, five star, bertazonni and thermador, and the la cornue is better in every aspect

Which Lacornue? I'm thinking about getting one of the cheaper ones (not a Chateau), 43" with the two smaller ovens. I'm curious if these work well or if you have to shell out for one of the really expensive ones.

I have a CornuFe (the La Cornue product line that is priced to compete with Viking and Wolfe).  Ours is now 15 years old and still going strong.  Initially we had a  problem with the igniters for the burners and had to have them all replaced but it was warrantied and has worked fine ever since.  Purcell-Murray is the US distributor (or was) and I got a list of all the dealers who sold CornuFes on the east coast and called around until I got a deal that was better than Williams Sonoma.  I have a small kitchen but have really liked the functionality of having two ovens, particularly at Thanksgiving or other big holidays.   One oven is plain convection but the other is multi-function with a variety of broiler/convection/bake options.   It still looks beautiful.  The top is actually very easy to clean---remove the grates and it is one big stainless surface to wipe down.  The only downside is that it is NOT self-cleaning, so every year (or two, if I am honest) I unscrew the side panels and "Easy Off" everything in the backyard, which seems kind of ridiculous given how much it cost.  And if you take out the steel racks and soak them in a plastic bin filled with dish soap and a bunch of Bounce dryer sheets, all baked-on food will slide off.  [/quote]
