ILVE's own site lists Nostalgie II colors as 'Pre-Order (90 – 120 Days)' or with an arrival date months out. A few colors are in stock at single retailers.

Sells 'handcrafted French ranges', but the September 2026 federal recall names the CornuFé's maker as AGA Rangemaster in the United Kingdom. The made-to-order Château is built near Paris.

Its US site says five years parts and labor. The CornuFé's own manual says three years from delivery. We found no document that settles which applies.

One national service line that sends out independent technicians. A specialist warns parts 'special-order from France, so lead times can run longer than a domestic brand.'

No CPSC recall found.

No Trustpilot or BBB profile. Houzz owners are mostly happy after years of use, next to complaints about parts and service that went unanswered.

In August 2024 Samsung recalled 1.12 million ranges whose front knobs could be turned on by a person or pet: about 250 fires, 40 injuries. Two White Glass Bespoke models are on the list.

Stainless is in stock in days. The black and white door models are marked discontinued or unavailable at two of four dealers, and no lead time for a colored door is published.
