@Yahooey, we switched to induction from gas and so glad that we did! We bought a Fridgadaire. The only problem that I have is that I'm short and we have touchscreen controls on the front and sometimes when I'm reaching, certain parts of my body turns it on. Now, if there's no pans on it, no problem, I just touch the "off" button. I have always been a gas stove lover but I wouldn't go back! I did purchase a silicone cover for the top so I can't slide my pans on the top and scratch it. I saw on "This Old House" that you can buy one that you can place the pan anywhere on it to cook.

Don't forget to look for rebate from some dot gov site. You can probably find by doing a search online for rebate on electric or induction stoves.

i can add what is needed to power the stove

they have not started work on electric yet

they have just been ripping stuff out

i always had gas but thought perhaps it is time

[Yahooey]

the grates really bug me

i have a small tiny kitchen

no dishwasher - 

i tried lifting the grates on various stoves

yes - i can lift them - but still...

just like i can lift my cast iron but that doesnt mean it isnt heavy

and as time goes on... 

i know if it bugs me in the showroom - it will just fester

kinda excited

@Yahooey  I just wanted to say do not get an LG.  They make great TVs but have failed miserably on washers, dryers, and refrigerators. My daughter had all 3 and they broke within 4 years and could not be fixed.

I hear what your saying. I tried to tell DH that but he wanted gas. I told him the way your shirt sleeves are hanging you will catch your clothes on fire at some point?

We still have the electric wiring so at some point as we get older I can see replacing it with another electric stove. I can have a plumber cap off the gas line.

DH does most of the cooking now so gas stove it was.  

Appliances don't last like they used to so I can only hope the stove lasts 10 years.

good to know @grandma2pkmh 

i went to my local appliance store and he ask why LG?

i really didnt have an answer - he said he sells more samsung 

LG is good for washers

he said no one name is good for all appliances

ITA don't buy an LG refrigerator with linear compressor. They have been having issues with it but still choose to use it in their new refrigerators.

My SIL had one she said what a pain. If she had not told me about it we would have one in our kitchen.

I'm glad I waited months during covid to get my GE Profile refrigerator.

@Nightowlz 

my white enamel no frills gas stove still worked

it has been at least over 15 yrs - no frills

i cant even tell you the BTUs - i think they were all 1 size back then

i can set the oven temp digitally - but that was it

if i wasnt remodeling - the stove would still be chugging along

of course now that i'm buying - what bell or whistle do i need

u dont want to regret it - bc that's what i've been doing for everything

cabinets  - counter top - lighting - sink and it goes on and on

i bake - and i think the convection may help 

bc i only do 1 tray of cookies at a time bc they never turn out right if i do 2 trays

and when holidays come around - standing for hrs - putting new tray every 12 min is a pita

i also wish they had glider trays than pulling them - a battle of the wills lol
