I had an ikea induction hob with a similar UI, moved house and now I have a full size gas rangemaster with 5 rings.
I really miss the induction hob. Cleaning the rangemaster is a complete nightmare, it’s full of places where dirt can accumulate, there’s even holes down the back and gaps in the side where food falls down that are unrecoverable. The gas rings sometimes don’t light up and gas leaks out while you’re cooking and don’t realise, it’s much more dangerous for children and I’ve left it on without realising a few times now.
The buttons on the induction hob sucked, yes, but the user experience was so much better, literally wipe clean and done, safe and powerful. Maybe if I had a cleaner I’d prefer the rangemaster…
- maccard 4y agoCompletely agree here that the entire experience was better despite the buttons. If I could choose, I would have an induction burner with front mounted dials for controls.
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoWhy not both? Induction stove with knobs.
- kebman 4y agoI've only used gas stoves in Romania. I rather enjoyed it, and it heats up stuff much faster than regular electric stovetops. (Barring the induction tops ofc; I haven't owned one of those yet.) I guess it depends on the design, because I didn't find it hard to clean at all. Sadly I don't remember the brand. As for Norway, where I'm from, gas stoves are only a very rare exception as by far most homes use electric appliances, save for campers. As for most things, the UI really counts. With that said, I think it's harder to f up a really established design paradigm, such as those with old fashioned electric stovetops.
