Lacanche

[Robbo66]

Anyone with any experience of them ?...considering.

Heard mixed reviews re the Lacanche. Warranty issues etc. looked at Aga too, but running costs and a total change of cooking techniques put me off.
Need a better range than we have, so appreciate the advice. Agree the Lancanche could look a little 'evoque', gold knobs etc. no timer either, decisions eh.

I have a Westahl and it is the contemporary version of Lacanche. I love it, one gas oven and one electric and the a gas hob which is outstanding. I can't rave about it enough. I had a brief contemplation about induction hobs when redoing the kitchen and am so glad I held out.

Get one, they are great!

Isn't Westahl simply a better looking Lacanche ?.

Yep. Warranty has been exceptional too. Mine was moved and, I guess, the gas pressure changed. They sent an engineer for free who set the whole thing up again and it is now excellent. The big ring can alternate between raging inferno and a gentle lick. It is a pleasure to use.

Thanks for your help here. Not self cleaning I believe ?....Britannia XG is similar money and is. Have a Britannia, and needs constand cleaning, so reluctant. New model looks far better however, but the shallow part of me yearns for a Lacanche/Westahl. No other issue ?.

Going for the Macon.

Only issue is we've only 40ml gap either side , onto wood units. Is this an issue ?.

Thanks....
