Looking to buy a slide-in induction range that will be delivered later this spring. (We could go to the end of the summer and cook out for a while, but things that are 8+months out are not feasible for us). Right now planning on 30 in, but could go up to 36 it it’s worth it. Does anyone have experience or opinions on these?
Options seem to be: Frigidaire (not interested) Kitchen aid or GE profile (comparable in terms of features and price) Bertazoni or Fisher & Paykel (will I really get a better cooking experience with an upgrade?) Others you know are actually in stock somewhere? |
| I ordered an induction range last June and have yet to receive it. I believe there was a supply-chain issue related to the induction parts, but that may have been resolved as I am slated to receive the range this June (fingers crossed). I ordered a GE Cafe 30” range. |
| We have a Bosch that is excellent, if you haven't looked into that option yet. |
OP here - this was my first choice, with the double oven, but there’s just no way I can wait on one. So I’m regrouping and trying to make a next best choice. |
These are also not available until next year. It’s slim pickings. |
| I wanted to get the Bosch (because I am in love with my Bosch dishwasher) but it was not available. So I ended up getting the GE one. It was very, very loud. So loud that I ended up returning it and getting a regular GE electric range. I do not have much experience with induction but it was way louder than my friend's and my parents' induction cooktops. |
| Costco has LG induction ranges in stock and available for delivery in two weeks to a month. |
| Is Wolf a good induction range? I’m looking to get a top of the line one because I cook a lot. |
I am envious. The Bosch was my first choice, but when they came to check out my kitchen before I ordered it, they found that the counter on one side of he range is taller than the other; since the Bosch edges over the counter, it would look weird or make the issue more obvious. I had to go with the Cafe. So bummed! |
As best I understand, if you have the sizes you need w the power level you want, there isn’t a huge benefit to the induction part of high-end/professional. But you should should have a much-improved oven performance. Many of these made their mark w gas power, so if you’re going w induction, then it’s a heft price tag for the look. In my case, I wanted 5 burners, a bridge function for a griddle, at least one at 3.7kw. Some of the other features were less compelling. |
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/11/dining/induction-cooking.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage§ion=Food According to this article, gas stoves emit greenhouse gasses and impart a risk for childhood asthma that is equivalent to living with a smoker. I was really surprised to learn this -- and very happy that we use induction, which I found easier and faster to cook with vs our old Wolf gas stove. We used a GE induction cooktop for 5 years without any trouble. Easy to use. Easy to clean. And very reliable. During our recent kitchen renovation we replaced it with Bora, which I love even more - it has an integrated exhaust, but I don't think you have that in the US yet. |
What brand did you get? If the stove is induction, then what is the oven part? Do you have a choice? |
| Are your induction stoves quiet? I have a small Duxtop cooktop that’s pretty noisy so I was wondering if the high quality brands are different. |
What appliance seller did you use? I’d love to find one that would check out my counter and confirm the thing I’m buying fits. |
Ferguson. They have been terrific (I have used them for other things, too.) |
