36' induction cooktop and oven recommendation
Comments (5)ea3421, I am also in the process of selecting an induction cooktop. I have been talking with people in another thread on this forum. I added the link to that thread below. I did not consider Viking because many write of quality problems with Viking appliances, but also because the Viking induction cooktop has no features. For example, there are no timers on the elements. Timers are important to me because I want to be able to program an element to automatically power-off in, say ten minutes, so I don't have to rush back into the kitchen when something is done cooking. Also, the Viking does not list in its features auto-off if there are boil-overs. I totally understand that you have a home that is in a historic building. Your place must be beautiful. But based on my research and based on what other have expressed in responses to me, the best induction cooktops are made by Miele and Gaggenau. Thermador is a close runner up. If you go with viking to get the knobs, you will be giving up a lot in terms of features. The elements are also smaller in the Viking than in the other brands that I mentioned. But maybe features are not as important to you as appearance. I can totally understand going with a product and giving up some features to feel comfortable with the product in my kitchen. If you go with Viking, I would just make sure it is reliable. I have no personal experience with Viking. I am only basing my thoughts on what I have read in these forums and other places. I will be interested to know what you select. Rob Here is a link that might be useful: Discussion of Induction cooktops...See More36” Induction Ranges (AGA?)
Comments (31)That's disappointing if the range has been discontinued. For anyone reading in the future, I am referencing the AGA range pictured above (AMPRO36INSS) with the full sized oven and window. Other 36 inch AGA models have smaller ovens with no windows....See More40" gas range replaced with 36" induction range now or later?
Comments (10)We're doing what Sabrina Alfin suggested. 36" induction cooktop over a 30" wall oven, with a 6" cabinet on one side to hold cutting boards. BUT, I wish we had bitten the bullet and gone with a range (we're reusing a cooktop we bought a few years ago). Induction cooktops have annoying touch controls. They take cooktop space and they are fussy to use. We should have abandoned the cooktop and gone for a range with front knob controls for the burners. Agree with wdccruise about 40" ranges. We've been stuck with very old low-function appliances for 10 years, because they were odd outdated sizes and new models wouldn't fit our cabinetry. Stick with standard-sized appliances that will be easy to replace....See MoreSMEG 36” Induction Range (SPR36UIMX)
Comments (2)the cooktop is wonderful but the oven is very problematic and faulty. i would return it in a heartbeat. Dealing with smeg has been ridiculous. what did you end up getting?...See Moregardener123
