Lacanche Volnay + Miele Speed Oven vs. Lacanche Cluny + MW Drawer

Posted by tresgirls (My Page) on

In an ideal world, I'd have two ovens (one convection), a warming drawer/cupboard, and a microwave. Unfortunately, my kitchen is smaller than ideal, so I don't have room for everything without doubling up some appliances. I have been planning on getting a Lacanche Volnay (oven + warming cupboard) and a Miele speed oven (MW and convection), which would be installed undercounter. This gives me everthing I want, however I've continued to be a little uneasy about having a microwave at the undercounter level. So now I've started to consider a couple additional options: (1) a Lacanche Cluny (two (smaller) ovens but no warming cupboard) and a Sharp Microwave drawer (no convection) or (2) a Lacanche Volnay (with a single electric convection oven and a warming cupboard) and a Sharp Microwave drawer (so no second oven). Given these three options, which would you choose? Any other ideas? Unfortunately, I don't have room for the Cluny 1400 (two ovens and a warming cupboard) or the Sully (two larger ovens, one of which could be convection).

Oh, I should also mention that I can't (or at least am not willing to) give up my limited countertopspace to wall ovens or a microwave or to give up upper cabinet space to a microwave.

We own a cluny. What I think you need to ask yourself, is how much do I need each of these items. From your list, to my mind the least required would be a warming cupboard. We haven't had a microwave for ten years and interestingly, don't seem to miss it. FWIW, having a microwave at undercounter height doesn't seem any worse than an oven undercounter.

I have a Volnay dual fuel that has never been used for sale if that would help. It has an electric convection oven and a warming cabinet.

Is your Volnay still for sale? If so can you provide some additional details (Price, Color, electric brolier). Thanks.
