Upgrade from my Viking gas range
on May 7, 2023
Posted by: TCLA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was nervous about switching to induction cooking but am currently very happy with the decision. The fact that pans get hot almost instantaneously, saves so much time. At the highest heat, I can get a beautiful sear and crust on a piece of fish or steak that I never got on my professional gas range. The oven cooks evenly and accurately. It’s also much easier to keep the cooktop clean. I’m an avid and enthusiastic cook and haven’t found anything that this range doesn’t do better than my old Viking 36” gas range. Lastly, I love the safety . I will never accidentally leave a burner on. Even if a pet or child touches the cooktop, there aren’t going to be crazy burns. The safety of induction is why I made the switch but I’m happy to report that it’s fun to cook on as well.

This was an excellent purchase
on June 12, 2023
Posted by: Sparky921
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We wanted to replace our gas range with an induction model. For a couple of years, we hesitated and could not truly find a product we really wanted, or that was not back-ordered. The Frigidaire 36” induction range fit our needs perfectly and fits our kitchen space. We are happy with our purchase but have only had the appliance for a month now. Things we like about the range:
• The cooktop heats instantaneously. Boiling water is available VERY quickly.
• The control of pan temperatures is also nearly instantaneous. Raising or lowering the temperature seems quicker than our gas range.
• The lowest settings with the ability to simmer or keep food warm are MUCH better than our gas range. It would continue to cook foods even at the lowest settings.
• Clean up of the range top is far easier than our gas range.
• There is far less heat created in our kitchen due to the induction method of cooking.
• We love the fact that the ventilation of the range electronics is from the back of it. Our prior range would blow hot air out the front of it, making us very warm while cooking.
• We have not tried the oven yet, but are impressed with the fairly quick pre-heating.
• The oven steam cleaning cycle is a plus and should make oven cleaning a less burdensome chore.
• The provided telescopic guides for the over rack are very nice.

love the quick response on burners
on January 21, 2024
Posted by: SMD65
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just completed a home/kitchen renovation and although my husband wanted to convert our stove to gas, I convinced him to try an induction range for environmental reasons. Others who have cooked on gas and switched to induction love it which is how I came to learn about induction cooking. There are so many nice features on this Frigidaire model. Only the surface under the pan gets hots. Although the burner area stays warm after you take the pot off the surface, it is much cooler, much faster than a traditional burner. I have found the glass top to be easy to clean. Another plus is if something does boil over, clean up is much easier because again, only the liquid that seeps under the pot is left behind instead of a much bigger mess on a glass-top cooking surface. Seriously, the burners respond fast, very similar to gas - it's on, it's off. Water boils in a snap. We also love going to a bigger stove/oven combo of 36" and since we were doing a renovation, this was possible. The inside of the oven is large and I love the middle easy sliding rack. There is even a feature with this stove/oven that turns itself off after a certain period, depending on whether a burner or the oven. But the times don't interfere with every day cooking and I think it's a smart safety feature. We installed a downdraft behind our stove because we kept the stove in the same location as our old cooktop and we have to use a downdraft because our inside stairs block our ability to easily vent from the top of a range hood. I am loving having both the stove top and oven all together instead of having them on different sides of the room. Also the stove does come with stainless cover options (skirt) if you do not want the legs/feet to show as you can see from the picture on the website vs. actual install in our home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The main control board is broken and there are no replacement parts available. I have been without a range for 2 months now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This induction range is awesome, huge and expensive looking. We did a lot of research between the Bosch, Electrolux and fridgidaire 36 induction and fridgidaire was the top choice in design, cost and functionality. The only think preventing a 5th star at this time is my learning curve but we anticipate having it down soon. Food cooks well, water boils in an instant and I don’t have to worry about our teens catching their sleeves on fire like I did with our gas range. It’s nice to do something for the environment and possibly our health too.

Choose Wisely
on October 31, 2023
Posted by: SpyBread
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros:
Very well designed and constructed
Range heats up quickly
Easy to clean cooking surface
Nice looking unit
Cons:
Difficult user interface for oven: Requires two knobs and a button to operate, and the instructions for using the BRIDGE function are complex.
Using the Two Burner BRIDGE function is comparable to Indiana Jones attempting to grab the golden idol. Here are the instructions.
1. Press and hold turn the front/rear left or right knobs counterclockwise to the A-B positions (a short beep will be emitted.)
2. Release the knobs.
3. Return the front left/rear right knob to the OFF position, then promptly press and turn the rear left or the front right cooking zone knobs until you reach power level 9 (a long beep will be emitted0). Now both cooking zone displays shows level 0 and flashing red dots appear on all displays. The bridge function is now activated.
4. You can control both the linked zones using the front left or rear right cooking zone knobs.
There is no way to turn on the oven light without opening the door: This is a major inconvenience, especially when cooking delicate dishes or checking on food in the dark.
Overall:
This range is well-designed and constructed, but the difficult user interface for the oven and the lack of a way to turn on the oven light without opening the door are major drawbacks. I would only recommend this range to cooks who are comfortable with complex user interfaces and don't mind opening the oven door to turn on the light.
Recommendation:
If you are looking for an electric range with a Two Burner BRIDGE function, I recommend that you look for a different model with a more user-friendly interface and a way to turn on the oven light without opening the door.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took a bit to convince my husband to go with induction but I'm very happy with the stove. We also had to upgrade our fuse box but that was probably a good thing too.

I Never Thought I'd Switch From Gas!
on March 10, 2024
Posted by: C Webb
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a diehard fan of cooking with gas and swore that is the only stove I would ever have. I went to my local appliance store to purchase a refrigerator and was ogling the Wolfe professional gas ranges when the salesman asked had I ever considered induction. I was appalled and said I would never have an "electric range". He gave me a demonstration and I was very intrigued. I went home and did a lot of research and saw a lot of other fellow gas range devotees had made the switch and would never go back. I decided to go for it. Am I glad I did! Cooking on this gorgeous induction range is more precise, faster, and more even heating than my gas range ever was. I love the bridge mode on not just one, but two sides of the range, which was the biggest reason I chose Frigidaire. It is such a great feature. I can get a lower simmer and a higher boil than I could on my gas range. The oven temperature has been accurate and steady as well. My husband is still in awe that I gave up cooking with gas -- he said he never thought he'd see this day! I didn't either but I've made the switch and I'm never going back!
