New Range

We're going to start a kitchen remodel. We currently have a cook top and want to move to a Range. We've looked at several lines and narrowed down to Wolf and La Cornue.
I want a Wolf. My wife wants La Cornue which I know nothing about other than checking out the website. LINK
My point is about Wolf is that they're readily available, easily serviced and very high quality. The Cornue is not widely available. I agree that they look pretty nice but beyond the look, are they worth it?
Any advise is appreciated.

Bluestar for the win.

For starters, those things are hideous. I agree about Wolf being easily serviced and that stuff. I have Thermador- next house will as well.

I second this. After much research, I went Blue Star when I build my house and I love it. Wolf is overrated.

My girlfriend brought that exact brand up and I shut that down. Had no idea where it came from until I found out Joanna Gaines is using one on her new show. All is now clear.
Just tell the wife that when her TV show becomes so successful that she can afford to build a kitchen to film in that she can put whatever range in there that she wants.

Le Cornue is unicorn material. I have no experience with them but they are beautiful, heavy and expensive. The only downside cost/service aside is that they have no window to see how your food is cooking. I guess you have to open the door (lose heat).
I have a dual fuel Wolf which I LOVE.

Ahhh
Good info
I think the wolf makes great stuff and we can get a “suite” of products from them that gets us a decent discount on the overall cost.
La cornue is just range so no discount.
I really hoped that someone could make the case that they’re crap so I can dismiss it outright. My online research generally leads me to believe that they make a good product.
I like the industrial look of the Wolf product (and others) but their quality is outstanding. I don’t necessarily like the look of LaCornue but I don’t hate it.

I don’t think we even looked into BlueStar but now will have to open up to it.
Hate to derail my own thread but any advantages over Wolf?

BlueStar owner here: advantages over Wolf—no electronics. No circuit board to fail and require expensive replacement. Can fix anything on the BlueStar that breaks with little more than a Phillips screwdriver. Have self repaired a thermostat broken iby an overzealous house cleaner, an igniter that frazzled, with minimal effort. It does have lots of books and crannies to clean, but it pumps out restaurant levels of heat, sufficient to wok properly. Awesome infrared broiler too.

This board directed me to Blue Star for our new home - it gets delivered tomorrow. Did a hood as well - was planning on the 48 but moved to the 60 bc my wife fell in love with the ability to design it.
I called a few chefs I knew and asked them what they would do - they told me Blue Star without hesitation. Their point was it was built extremely well and very consistent. Anything that is essentially built through the build process they have can take the work

In my research I learned a lot of chefs have them in their homes. At the time I got mine, it also had the highest BTU burner available on the market (25,000). Not sure if that's still the case. Also like that you can take the grate off the burner and it perfectly holds a wok for wok cooking. Also like the open burners. Some people think they're a hassle to clean, but I've found the opposite. I absolutely LOVE my Blue Star.

I went with BlueStar after talking to serous home cooks. You can customize the larger ones and get it in just about any color you want. The rep for the area even reached out to me when I had a few questions.
Have a friend with Le Cornue and she loves it but it’s what she always wanted. I have always thought they were great product because of the oven heat distribution story. Now that Joanna Gaines is using one the demand is probably crazy.

Capital is the best made look into them. You can tear them down with out tools for cleaning too.

Capital is really good but they are proud of them.
