I just went through this same exercise in November and I chose a Frigidaire (FPES3085KF) Electric Slide in. I think it's the "professional" version, which is kind of funny because I don't think there are a lot of professionals cooking on electric slide-ins. lol...but you get the picture. I like it a lot! Made by Electrolux. Three racks with one that can be configured to accomodate tall items. The bottom rack can connect to the door so it slides out when the door opens. Convection. When I was researching ranges I was a little bit freaked out by the reports on this board about the loud fans, but my fan is SUPER quiet. It runs when the oven is on (and that's a good thing, it's venting the heat away from the electronics)...and sometimes when the cook top is in operation. But, it is really quiet. Warming drawer (which I use to store pans ;-). Cooktop is great. Fast to boil. Bridge that will combine a front and back unit---perfect for the Thanksgiving gravy! Warming area, too. I felt the oven was about ten degrees cool and this was an easy adjustment....the controls allow you to + or - oven temp by 30 degrees just punching it into the electronic controls...then it saves the adjustment. I feel the temp is right on. With the hidden bottom element, as you may have read, the pre-heat takes awhile even with the Power Pre-heat function. It'll beep in a reasonable time as if it's up to temp, but it's really not. I've had to adjust my brain to allow a little more pre-heat time when I'm prepping meals. Overall, I'll give it an A. Super happy with it. Had it since November, so can't speak to long term reliability. Good luck and happy shopping!

Hey, thanks bevbran! I'd given up on anyone responding to my post. I haven't looked at the Frigidaire Professional, so I'll definitely take a look. And I like that the fan(s) are not too loud. Thanks again!

Take a look at the electrolux double oven induction slide-in coming in March.

Here is a link that might be useful: Electrolux induction range

I am looking at the Electrolux also but wonder if the split in the cooktop is a problem for those that have this type of Electrolux configuration in another model.

gwentm,

When you say 'split', are you talking about where the electronic control panel and the cooktop surface are joined? I did read some posts in another thread where some people complained about this being a place that would trap dirt and grease, crumbs, etc. That could be a consideration.

Pbear, yes that is the "split" in the cooktop that I meant. It seems like a flawed design prone to cleaning issues.
