The Aga traditional electric cooker is slated to come out with off/on controls. But who knows when?

Also check out Heartland Appliances. They make electric repro ranges for their "Classic" series. Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything about how they perform, repair record, etc.

Thanks for the link Martha. I'll have to inquire about the AGA shut off. I'd buy the 6-4 in a second if it were all electric but then I guess they wouldn't have named it 6-4.
What did you decide to do about your range/floor model?
Jenn

Hi Jenn,

I decided to stick with the brand new one after all! The $1300 I would save by taking a 4-year old floor model is just not enough of a bargain for me. Plus, I've since learned that the Six-Four has just been upgraded. My new range will be one of the upgrades. I think I'd rather cash in on the recent improvements as well as have some peace of mind in knowing that my straight from the factory range was made just for me! :)

I'm sure you'll be very happy with your range. Turns out there is an all electric version of the 6-4 and the companion (called module), but of course only available in Europe. I'd love to get my hands on one.
I may need to have propane installed to get a decent looking range, athough I'm trying to avoid this as propane will not be our heat source and we do need to keep our construction budget in control, it just seems to be another added cost.

There ARE people here who have imported appliances. Sounds scary. Heartland does have some fans but there aren't a lot of people with them. I've never seen anything bad about them though.

I like the Legacy. Great knobs, too.

And there is always the option of an actual old range, especially if you're not THAT into cooking. The electric ones are somehow less scary than antique gas ones, and can be just as neat looking. (Put an induction hob in a subtle location if you need more power occasionally.) Here's the first one popping up on my local craigslist...

I thought Legacy when your post came up, but you could also look to some great refurbished ranges. I used to have a huge white range in an old place we were in that was from the 50's. It was gorgeous and had two ovens and a small broiler oven, much like an Aga but it was some basic brand (don't remember which). I've seen some that have been refurbished that just sing :) They'd be so much nicer than a cold old viking :oP

Fori- Thanks for the link. I like the idea of putting an induction hob in a subtle location. I actually considered using a smooth electric or induction in a "Hutch style" setup with a wall oven in the pantry or underneath the cooktop with pocket doors like those made by yestertec. DH really would prefer more of a focal point.

Igloo- I'll be interested to hear how you like your Legacy. I know it for a future rental, but if I remember correctly you'll be living there temporarily. Which handles did you order? I like both options, DH doesn't like the spiral. We'll probably end up with the Legacy, but I'm am still so drawn to the cast iron of the 6-4 and the traditional AGA.

I actually like that Yestertec look very much! As for the Legacy, I like both handles as well but probably lean towards the spirals. On the matter of the Aga cast iron, I understand completely. Once I got drawn in, it was only a matter of time; I could not let go! I agree with Fori that there are plenty of people who import their Aga cookers from the UK. Also, make sure to go on eBay, you can often find cookers for sale there,(although I'm not sure how many electric ones you'll find.)

The CornuFe All Electric is available.

It's a real beauty. Same price $8,000...

Martha- I too really like the idea of a Yestertec setup but as I mentioned DH really prefers a focal point. Either version would work well in our home. Of course a focal range would be more impressive looking as the wall the range will be on is directly opposite a sitting area and brick fireplace with a (non-functioning) bee-hive oven.

Foodnut- Thanks for the info. regarding the CornuFe, but I can't find any info. on it being available in all electric only dual fuel.
