Our take
Six people is often the size where you waver between a raclette grill and a do-it-all machine. According to its product page, the 079601 has made its choice: no plate, no stone, just six raclette pans, glass trays so you can watch the cheese melt, a lower level that doubles as a pan rest and a top tray for the dish of potatoes. The elongated format, 37.5 cm by 20.8 cm, sits along the length of a table rather than in the middle.
On power, watch the numbers: Lagrange lists 750 W here, whereas the older 009601 model was rated at 850 W. Nothing in the sources tells us what difference that makes at the table. On the day we wrote this, the Amazon.fr page offered no direct purchase and pointed to the available offers instead: check the seller and what comes in the box. The brand also sells a version with ceramic raclette pans, the 079622, which should not be confused with this one.
What we like
- Six raclette pans with no space-hogging plate
- Top tray to keep the potatoes warm
- Removable top glass
- Long format, easy to fit on a narrow table
Things to consider
- No grilling: the glass doesn’t cook
- 750 W, versus 850 W for the previous version
- No direct purchase on the Amazon.fr page (checked on November 7, 2026)
- Made outside Europe, fixed cord

Who is it for?
For families and get-togethers with friends for six, especially if you love raclette without the smell of grilling in the curtains. For grilling or making crêpes, this is not the right machine. And given its length, the two guests at the ends of the table will sometimes have to stretch.
Alternatives
- Lagrange Transparence 079401: the same machine for four.
- Lagrange Transparence 079801: the same machine for eight.
- Lagrange Transparence 009204: the small size for two.
