My BIL has a KitchenAid one that he seems to enjoy and hasn't had any problems with in the 3-4 years he's had it.

When I tried that link above^ I got blasted with non-stop Adobe pop up promotion to update. I couldnt read the link. It was relentless pop ups on Safari and Mac Mini
I was addressing this ... Pop ups can be avoided with Brave
None in Firefox as well
My home was built in 2022 and my wife and I chose a Cafe' 36 induction cooktop. I spoke of it over the summer when my nephew burned a pot on it making popcorn. We love the cooktop and will never go back to traditional electric.
Cafe' is a GE brand. The one thing GE does better than anyone is that they own and operate their own repair service called Bodewell.

I remember those magnetic field and pacemaker warnings when microwave ovens came out. Now nobody talks about that cause I guess everyone that uses them is used to the field. My Mom used her Amana a lot and reached in it with her watch on and it would stop being accurate till I would de-magnetize it for her.
While not related to induction stoves specifically (I've never owned one), my parents are ridding their new house of the new Bosch appliances. The gas stove, refrigerator, and microwave are all broken. The only thing that hasn't broken yet is the dishwasher, because they've never used it. They bought them as a package and paid a King's ransom for what they thought the best. Issues include electronics failing, trim pieces falling off, door hinges breaking, and gas burners failing. Multiple repairs in warranty and out. I think they've had them for 5 or 6 years. Bought from a local appliance store, with decent service. My parents are in their late 70's and are pretty careful about their things.
Wife ordered a Frigidaire GCFI3060BF.
And a fridge too.

There is no best induction stove. Gas stoves are the best. If induction stoves were so great...why don't even the best local restaurants use them?
What???
I wonder if they study the other electronics besides pacemakers? Communications? AED?
If it was me with one of these multi devices I would pass
But what you would say is it has nothing to do with best
They do use them but not as a stove. You just don't see it and it's going to depend on the news of a restaurant. They're a godsend in restaurant kitchens because they don't emit all the waste heat of gas. They use single burner induction cooktops for soups, stocks, etc.

I should say if pacemakers are so easily disrupted then they should be more robust. We are talking about frequencies in the 25-50KHz range, EMF basically. Stoves are FCC approved (or should be) - we are not concerned in the least.
Our stove will be delivered tomorrow. Will report back.
After playing with gas a lifetime, and induction for a decade or so, and (after growing up working in restaurants ) Im quite sure BMW's pov on this is accurate.
I find having a gas cooktop and a really good induction top (Breville) is a great combo.
It's kind of like a wall of tools as to whats best for a given job.
Sometimes you have multiple choices as to which you pick.
Induction excels at water and oil based heating and often but not always has better low heat control for stuff like melting chocolate or butter or continuous low heat stuff like Soups.
on the high side its also good for continuous boil - stuff like batches of shrimp/crawfish for a big group, or pasta bar type stuff where you are boiling water all day and dropping in batches of noodles
- If you can move the stuff in the pan vs moving the pan itself they're great at sautées.
Wanna fry up a bunch of fish or big tub of chicken and dont want to stink up the house? -put up a camping table on your patio and plug it in and fry away outside with no external heating up of anything but the oil and the dish.
You def get what you pay for in that the diameter of the marked cooking area is often not the diameter of the coil.
It's not as good with woks, and or in cases where you often need to move the pan around while continuing to add heat.
The gas top and stove will run in a power outage.

I've been quite happy with my Electrolux products.
I have their French door/ double drawer/ Fridge Freezer and two sets of their high end washers and dryers, so 5 pieces of kit from them.
On that cooktop - It's got a pretty big large main coil (8 1/4? ) at I think 3200 watts that should really pump the heat into a big pot of water for you.
Id be a bit annoyed though that stove that doesn't have at least one ball bearing sliding rack though.
How do you turn the "burners" on? My current stove which I hate has only 3 buttons for each burner, Low - On - High. To get to medium heat I have to hit "On", push High then push low 5+ times.... frustrating when you are using it twice a day. I wont buy another oven like it, I hope this one isnt like that.
I think induction is the way to go if you don't have Gas. I cant wait to upgrade mine to Induction when it dies.
That would have been nice, but the racks seem to slide ok for me.
This thing is a beast. Boils water significantly faster than gas, I don't care who you are. So far love it!!
That that main element looks formidable.
I didnt see what the manual said but whats the lowest temp the small ones will sustain, I'm typically looking for a hands off 110F
Good to hear they slide well.
Non bearing slides usually only have a problem with significant weight on them.
When you hear the scraping off of the enamel as you move them, its gone too far, and typically a bearing slide gets you a bunch more extension.
Whatever appliance it is, my main requirement is that it doesn't have touch pad style buttons. Give me knobs and rotory switches. I hate today's appliances.
