We had the misfortune of purchasing a Fulgor Milano pro range first and had nothing but problems with it. We were extremely cautious and did plenty of research to replace what we had. The Café was recommended to us and we have been thrilled with it since day 1. Consistent even temperatures, great stove top burners with a range of output, great appearance. We can't say enough good things about our new Café range, we wished we had purchased one on the very first go around.
