The "actually new" thing here is that you won't have to rewire your kitchen for 240 as you would with most induction stoves. In the SF Bay Area, the electrical work could cost you $15K. Also, with tax credits and state / local incentives, the actual price will be much less than $5500. I've gone from a gas furnace and hot water heater to a heat pump and electric hot water, and the only remaining gas appliance I have is my stove. I'm very interested in this product, although the similar appliance from Channing Street Copper is more appealing to me as it has an oven as well.
- shaklee3 3y agoIt's extremely uncommon in the US to have induction hobs over 4kW. Even if the outlet could supply it, they're very rare.
- OJFord 3y agoIs it 10kW even at 110v? Even assuming that's only nominally 'per burner' with only one running, that's 91A. Do you still not need to rewire your kitchen at that kind of current? In the UK (240v nominal, so less needed, sure) oven & hob are typically on their own circuit, but 'only' 32A.
