I do not know about these other than seeing a heartland and it was beautiful. I also recently saw a 36 in 6 sealed burner AGA. Something new not like the usual built like a tank AGA. It also didn't carry the AGA price tag. I believe it was in the $5,600 range.

Are you referring to the Aga Legacy, by any chance? They have a really cool looking version called "Vintage White" that looks very much like an old O'Keefe and Merrit. That one is definitely in the running (I like the white enamel top and fascia a lot), but the Heartland claims a self-cleaning (and larger) oven and I heart self-cleaning. OTOH, the Heartland is about $1,000 more than the 36" Aga and I know at least one happy Aga Legacy owner who does not have any problems with the small ovens. Just trying to find out if anyone actually buys the Heartland or if it just shows up on Desparate Housewives and in Kitchen mags.

Honestly I don't remember. It was a yellow and black very old fashion looking range. I asked and salesman said AGA. I think it had 3 ovens. As I said it wasn't the AGA's I've seen but it certainly looked cool. I am positive I saw high 5,000 range ticket.

I am positive it isn't the cast iron of the usual AGA's I am positive it was an enameled steel.

There is a Heartland Legend and an AGA Legacy. The look different. Pricing is online.

I never got to see a Heartland range in person but the Legacy was at Expo and was pretty. I love that antique white!

FWIW- Heartland is made by AGA

Well, I believe Heartland was bought out by Aga Food Services, but the Heartland Legend is a different oven entirely from the Aga Legacy (which comes in two sizes, 36" and 44" -- the 44" is the $5500 range). I am actually inquiring whether anyone has the Heartland Legend or the Heartland metro.

sharon_sd has a Heartland, I believe. (Funny, they use to be named Heartland Legacy I think and changed since AGA had a Legacy) Anyway, black 36" if I recall. She loved it. Haven't seen her post in a while and hope I am recalling the right person! (Sorry if not)

Also, check the finished kitchen area and search under appliances - maybe someone there.

I love these ranges - would have seriously been in the running if we could have done dual fuel.

Thanks, plumorchard. I did a search and didn't see sharoh_sd in the Finished Kitchens blog. Search for Heartland also doesn't reveal any of these ranges. I love the look, and they seem to have all of the features I would want, but I'm pretty nervous about buying a range nobody has used/tested/heard of...

I suppose I will have to go with the Aga Legacy 36" in vintage white, although I was really hoping for a bigger oven. My DH and I really dislike SS, and the LaCanche, as pretty as it is, is double the price and still has small ovens. I've also looked at the Fratelli and the Berta, but these both have quirks and very low BTUs. Argh.

You can try to contact sharon_sd by going to her member page and e-mailing her.

I was in a local upscale appliance store and saw the Heartland Legend (formerly Legacy) similar to what sharon_sd has. It really is built like a tank, and beautifully finished. Truly has the closest look to a classic O'Keefe and Merritt that you can find in today's offerings.

It's not as powerful as some of today's offerings on the upper end BTU's, but more than adequate, I'm sure, for any average home cook. Huge oven, and as I said, beautifully made. An extremely heavy, quality appliance.

I actually have a Heartland Legacy stove, just like the one on Desperate Housewives. It is a beautiful stove to look at but really mostly a worthless piece of c____ to own. In 8 years the stove was replaced in it's entirety 3 times and now all of the mechanical components of the oven need to be replaced as the oven no longer works. all 4 times, on different ranges, I have had the same complete blow out of the electronic parts. There is obviously a very, very serious technical problem with these stoves. And the customer service is awful!! The quality really wouldn't be acceptable in a $500 stove let alone one that cost 10 times that. Stay away from this stove!!!

I bought a Legacy and have had nothing but problems . I have replaced several parts . I would not recommend Heartland they are high priced piece of junk.

I have a Heartland Metro, it is about 10 years old, I am guessing. It works well but I don't know where to get parts for it. Does anyone know? Thanks!! Mary

Mary, can't help with parts, but let me suggest that you start a post of your own with a title like "where to find parts for 10 y.o. Heartland Metro?"

I'm concerned that folks who might be able to help won't be looking to the end of this really old thread. If we have anybody here who can help you, I think you will have better luck with a new post on your specific question.
