Our new house doesn't have natural gas and I can't stand the electric range that it came with. I'm looking to replace it with a 30" slide in induction range.

Does anyone here have any particular models they recommend or any bad experiences?

I'm currently considering the following:

Bosch Benchmark

Bosch 800 Series

LG

Samsung

GE Profile

Frigidaire

TIA

Electric stove kicked the bucket a few weeks back and we wanted to try induction before deciding on what to replace it with. Been using this, and it is pretty awesome:

My only complaint of the induction burner so far is that is has a fan that runs continuously while it is on.

I've done a good deal of research and think I've decided on the Wolf for the final install:

I’ve got a kitchen aid induction range with convection oven. I wasn’t thrilled when we moved in. I grew up using gas, used gas all of my life, except in college, dorms, apartments, etc., and thought gas was the best.

Now, I’ll never have another gas range. I love it. All the ones you listed look nice. Just be careful not to let your cast iron get too hot.

Much appreciated. Is this the kitchen aid you have? I like it.

Mine has a 5th element.

Honestly, you don’t miss a beat. You can get a pan ripping hot, or boil water in no time.

I’d make sure you have an adequate vent.

I used a tramontina with an Emeril all-clad 8 qt stock pot for black eyed peas.
Tramontina burner - not our model
Our model - goes for $239 on amazon

Pot

Not so important with induction since no spill over heat like gas.

my large "burner" is about 11.25" in diameter. Looking for another one that size. Thus the looking for a portable induction burner.

I’ve had 4 things going at one time, and it gives off lots of smoke/steam. You can get by without an upgraded hood. That’s true.

I went with the GE Cafe for my camp kitchen. I chose induction because I don’t have gas access and didn’t want to deal with propane. The reason I chose this mode is because it has the double oven under it. I haven’t used it yet but I’m looking forward to trying it out.

Not as important but we do a lot of searing and boiling, so I'm going to be either installing a vent-a-hood or a broan with a remote blower.

You didn't mention the brand but i've been very pleased with my kitchenaid cooktop. Definitely get one with the bridge. I'm sure their range is just as good, I know our Kitchenaid convection oven has been good.
