[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If truly high end - I prefer paneled and integrated fridges/dishwasher (Sub Zero makes those fridges, but also Jenn Air, Miele and others).  Stainless is okay, but is starting to look a little dated.

Lots of high end range brands - Wolf is popular in DC.  If you have an extra $10,000,[b] La Cornue and Lacanche (French ranges) look really nice and are different.[/b]  [/quote]

They're really nice to look at. They're not practical at all to cook with. If you want people to admire your kitchen, then buy them. If you actually cook, don't.[/quote]
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 [/quote]

I love my Lacanche.  It is so simplistic.  I love the smaller ovens, the duel fuel ovens, and the BTUs are fantastic.  In contrast to most duel fuel ranges, I have one gas oven and one convection oven.  Most duel fuel ranges mean gas cooktop + electric/convection ovens.[/quote]

I did my kitchen in 2020. I also have a Lacanche with one gas oven and one convection oven. Agree the BTUs are fantastic. Wow! I have mixed feelings about the smaller ovens, but I've gotten used to it. I've had to replace some pans because not everything fits in the oven, which is one consideration. Also, miss having an oven window at times. The brass burner caps never look as good as they did new regardless of how well you try to take care of them. I've thought about ordering replacement brass caps just "for show" but I haven't investigated how to do it or how much it would cost. I know you can get black covers for them, but I'm less interested in those. My subzero has needed to be serviced twice and my drawer microwave with "wave open" technology doesn't work at all anymore. Ha! I need to get a replacement but it's a pain because the damn thing is built into my island. [/quote]
