Lacanche vs AGA Ranges: What You Should Know Before Buying

Welcome to Appliance Advisers, where Francesco and Dennis dive into a head-to-head comparison of two unique kitchen appliance brands: AGA and Lacanche. In this episode, they focus on the AGA Elise range, a popular choice in New England for its traditional style and strong performance. They also introduce Lacanche, a brand known for its stylish, unique colored ranges, often compared to La Cornue. The discussion covers the heritage of these brands, with AGA originating in Sweden and Lacanche proudly made in France, emphasizing their long-standing traditions and distinctive market approaches.
The conversation turns critical as they highlight the challenges with Lacanche, particularly its lack of service support and inconsistent performance, contrasting it with the more reliable and service-backed AGA Elise. Francesco and Dennis stress the importance of considering not just the aesthetic appeal but also the practical aspects of owning these ranges, such as service availability and cooking performance. To uncover the real experiences of owning these appliances, they suggest looking beyond designer recommendations and reading reviews from actual users.

Those Aga’s check a lot of box for a lot of customers! Great info!

I'd love to get an Elise (marketed as the Falcon Elise in Australia) but for some reason the importer refuses to offer with an induction top. When I enquired, they said it was because inductions was a 'niche' market, and yet they off it in the much uglier and cheaper Classic model. Yeah, if I'm spending AUD 20K on a range, I reckon I'm already shopping in a niche market. It's offered in New Zealand, with which Australia shares an electrical standard, so it's not a compliance issue.

I am seriously considering doing the AGA Mercury 36" induction range...the cooktop seems a little weak...is that just in comparison to the gold standard in Wolf or is it generally just weaker? Will it work fine for most home cooks? I cook a lot so i have been leaning towards cooktops from Thermador or Wolf but being swayed by others to pick a range.
I am lookign at AGA over Wolf mostly cause of aesthetics and size - i am doing a very contemporary kitchen and doing a range at all breaks with the look IMO but my appliance store reps (and real estate agent brother) are strongly recommending a range since i have chosen to go with only 24" wall oven vs the American standard of 30" ovens. The AGA is much more shallow - infact its the shallowest induction range i can find...can you think of a better one?

[@applianceadvisers]

We've found that KitchenAid refrigerators are an older platform at this point, and other brands have options with better features for less money.
