[quote=Anonymous]We have decided to go the induction route for our new kitchen. We considered gas but were ultimately swayed by the environmentally friendly nature and performance of induction. We *love* the flexibility of the Thermador Freedom -- being able to put a pot down anywhere, using a griddle with ease, etc.-- but have read lots of complaints about Thermador reliability as well as the sluggishness of the induction controls. (We were not able to test one in person.) The only place for our oven is under the cooktop, so we would install a 30" Thermador oven under the cooktop.

We are also considering the Wolf induction range. We actually like the look of the range versus the induction cooktop with an oven underneath. We tested it at the showroom, and the controls seemed very easy to use. It does have specific hobs, so doesn't have quite the flexibility of the Thermador and I worry about how well the bridging element actually works with a griddle. We also are concerned about the blue enamel chipping on Wolf electric ovens.

Any experiences with either of these specific products? They cost a pretty penny, and we would hate to spend so much only to be plagued by expensive and annoying repairs. One other thing -- the Thermador appliance package (with fridge), means a fairly significant cost savings. But the most important thing to us is getting products we love and that will last. Thanks![/quote]
