> I'm glad I can afford it but every time I see one of those "electric's not god-awful anymore, induction's amazing!" posts on Twitter or Reddit or whatever it's like... yeah, great solution for us folks with plenty of disposable income, I guess.
Most of what I see isn’t necessarily cost prohibitive, but looks like it’s built to fail. What products are people using where the experience has been pleasant?
- aidenn0 5y agoDoubly so for people like me who don't have a 220V line to the kitchen (and we would need a new breaker panel to install one; we looked into getting an induction top when we moved in).
- brimble 5y agoPart of the cost factor is that it's pretty easy to find (even quite good) gas stoves on the used or factory dent-n-ding market. Electric, even easier. Induction, not so much. That can mean in effect 4x or more the price, for a similar-quality stove (effects on air quality aside). Retail prices do also seem to be somewhat more expensive at similar feature/"trim" levels, too. Unless that's changed since the last time I was thinking about this (maybe a year ago).
