As everyone knows, most appliances are great till they need service. Ikea appliances are made by whirlpool and that gives you an extra layer of hurt when something goes wrong, since both companies can spend forever telling you to contact the other. I'd do some reading in the appliances forum over at ikeafans before you buy. (Not sure if you have to create an account to read this--I hope not):

EDIT Ikea has great prices on things like their kitchen cabinets because you're pretty much on your own. That's okay for something like a cabinet that you install and that's all there is to it, but while I do plan on using ikea cabs in my next kitchen, I have some strong hesitations about their appliances for this reason.

Power, quality and service.

I think "power" is not bad -
1x1400W induction zone.
2x3200W induction zone with booster.
1x1.8 kW induction zone.

I've heard service is terrible.

Reliability - no idea.

patbagg: "An induction cooktop is an induction cooktop is an induction cooktop. Right?"

And cars are just cars, and washers and just washers.

Seems like your really trying to rationalize your choice.
