Customer Reviews for Fisher & Paykel - Classic Series 4.9 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Electric Induction Convection Range with Self-Cleaning - Stainless Steel
An amazing experience. It took a lot of time and patience to convince my spouse that we should buy an induction range. Like me a few years ago, she thought gas was best for cooking. Now she raves about the induction cooktop. But wait, the oven is unbelievable. With double fans for "Aero" convection roasting and baking, among 8 oven settings, this is the most amazing oven we have ever seen.
I was a little disappointed the setting for the oven only goes down to 200F (except for the Rapid Proof setting). Serious Eats/Food Lab recipes for prime rib, porchetta, and other large roasts call for slow roasting for several hours at 150F to an internal temp of about 120-125F followed by a rest and then a 550F sear for 6-10 minutes, which this oven delivers--big time!
Induction and the options for oven settings do take a little getting used to and checking the owner's manual, but if you are really, really serious about cooking, the effort will pay back big time.
Love this stove!

This is the 2nd time I’ve owned an electric range with induction cooktop, and this one is the best. Here are 6 features I love the most: 1. The cooktop is roomy and has lots of settings — including 3 warm/simmer settings, 9 power levels, and a power boost for quick boil 2. The cooktop is easy to clean (I use Weiman cleaner which is sold at my food store) 3. The oven has fans / convection options for baking and broiling (Aero Bake for single shelf & True Aero for multi-shelf) which produces excellent bakery - perfect muffins, cookies, bread etc.; Aero Broil for chicken & fish which produces amazingly tender and not-dried-out results. 4. Below the oven there’s a warming drawer with 3 settings 5. The knobs are lovely and easy to use (I prefer knobs to digital). All the functions, such as setting the clock and the timer, are easy to figure out without even having to read the instruction manual. 6. The instruction manual gives advise on which oven function to use, when you’re in doubt or just want to experiment. There’s an Aero Pastry & Pizza function, and even a Rapid Proof function for dough. And of course, Self-Clean. Cons / Downsides: 1. Unlike my previous induction cooktop (Samsung), the burners do not have a blue “flame” that surrounds the pan or pot when it’s in use. That was cool, and if you’re used to a gas burner, it’s a nod to those of us who like to cook on a flame. 2. The induction style of cooking —on any brand — can make a clicking noise when a pot or pan is in use, at least for the first minute or so. This is because the magnetic energy causes the layers of metal in the cookware to kind of vibrate as they warm up. But it depends on what cookware you use. My solid cast iron skillet makes no noise when in use. And honestly, it’s a subtle sound and you get used to it. I give the Fisher & Paykel 5 stars, and highly recommend it for those who love to cook & bake…. Or just look at a beautiful appliance!

We love our new induction range. If you are considering, take the plunge. It bakes and roasts beautifully. It boils water so fast. Our gas range was 18 years old. It took no time to get used to the new one. It’s so easy to keep the surface clean. It checks all the boxes. We got new pots and pans.

This range is beautiful! It’s so easy to clean and very easy to use. It is better than I even expected. I’ve never used induction before but I’m loving it!

I was hesitant about the induction range because I used to have electric stove and it was super slow. Induction stove is totally a game changer. It cooks fast and so easy to clean. The style is classic and look beautiful on my new kitchen renovations. Most of the luxury stoves are too big and stick out from the countertops like 5 inches if your interior designer is not experienced. This stove is different. It is lined up with the standard cabinetry & countertops. The induction stove meets both aesthetic & functions. I highly recommend it.

Anyone in the house close by gets headaches or pressure in their head when range is on, stay away from induction.

I was a bit nervous to leave my thermador gas range but have fallen in love with induction cooking. There was a small learning curve but we moved on very quickly. It’s a breezy to clean with the glass top. The oven with the sliding shelves is wonderful. We’ve only had it for a few months but over all it feels like a solid well built unit that should work for many years to come.
