Satisfied so far
on October 17, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We enjoy the look, capabilities, and easy cleanup of the range, but the burner layout is a sore point. This is the first cooktop we've owned that had the main large burner in the back. This leads to massive condensation on the bottom of our overhead advantium oven when we do a basic water boil for pasta. We've never had this problem before and heating water should not be any different per range. Only difference is the placement of the large burner in the back tucked under the unit, which doesn't allow the steam to clear. This also makes it difficult to lift larger/heavier (and hot) items up and over smaller ones.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great range except for one easily avoidable thing
on October 12, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my range at the end of 2020 and finally received it in July 2021. This is my first induction cooktop and I love it, even with the learning curve. Its also been an excuse to change out some of my old cookware that I thought would work (magnets attracted to the cookware but didn't actually work when the range came in). The product is still new enough to me that I smile every time i use the "boost" function to boil water extra rapidly.
Pros: its stunning. I find it really easy to clean because food doesn't cook on the way it did on my old ceramic cooktop. The speed and control of induction is everything people rave about it.
I've used the cooktop more than the oven--the oven has a multitude of functions and I'm still learning them. So far the oven has met all my expectations. I like the flexibility of all the different bake/roast/broil etc options.
Cons: the burner placement. The flex bar is amazing. I don't understand why the big burner is solidly in the middle of the cooktop. When I put a big 5.5 or 6qt pan on it, it doesn't leave enough room to use the small burner. I tried to use the flex bar with a griddle, the big round burner for a large pan, and then the small pan and they simply just didn't all fit. This could easily have been fixed by moving that burner back and to the right a bit. Its my big regret about this range...and for as much as I love it, had I realized the placement of the hobs impaired the functionality that much I likely would have chosen something different.
The other con that I put in the category of "annoyance" is that it is easy to bump the oven controls when leaning over the cooktop.
I wavered between giving this a 3 and 4 star rating. For the price I paid for it, I'd like to only give it a 5 star rating.

So far so good
on June 11, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are features about this range that I love. Small things, but still. I like how the light goes on when you open the oven door. I like the two lights in the oven. I am amazed at how much I LOVE induction cooking - and how intuitive this interface is. The oven performance - I am not so sure. The temperature varies more than I expected, and I haven't baked enough yet to have full confidence in it. At some point, I will be able to give it a thuimbs up or down, but I need to do more baking first. Overall, I am happy with it, and once I got the delivery/install issues worked out, that made things a LOT better.

My first induction stove
on June 6, 2021
Posted by: Laguna
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first experience with induction. Had to get all new cookware, but that was fine with me. Heats very quickly. Much easier to keep clean than my old gas built-in cooktop. I got the Bosch cleaner for it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
