Fagor (or Wind Crest) Induction?

16 years ago

Does anyone have one or have you ever seen one? I like their specs, and Fagor is apparently one of the few companies who manufactures the induction components used by other companies.

I live in MD and there seems to be no one locally who sells them.

I'm just trying to see if anyone has any impressions of this brand, their service, etc?

I also like the Wind Crest model CTI365D which seems like a clone, but they mention a textured finish that hides fingerprints.

    Have you tried typing fagor in the search box found at the bottom of any appliance forum thread list page? There is some fairly current info in the results.

    I have the Wind Crest. I haven't dealt with the company so I don't know if they're good or not. It's pretty no-nonsense, no-frills. No timers, no weird safety stuff, no BEEPing when you remove a pan without turning off the cooktop (my old induction cooktop was pretty vocal).

    The top is slightly textured which isn't uncommon--I guess it helps with fingerprints, but it also keeps the pan from skidding about.

    Powerful and pretty quiet. No major complaints.

    laat2 - I did find some Fagor reviews, but they were all for the portable unit, not the built-in cooktop. If I am missing them, can you give me the link? Maybe the Search is still not working well?

    Fori- I do remember seeing your comments on the Wind Crest unit, and I'm pleased to know you still like it. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a good solid unit. Just wish there was somewhere locally that I could actually see one.

    Can't wait for the kitchen renovation to begin, as I have 25 yr old Jennair that only works when I jiggle the burners. Probably anything would make me happy at this point, but I'm worried the new one will have to last another 25 years!

    If you have reached this thread on a direct bookmark you should instead bookmark the forums listing page

    http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/

    When you click on "Appliances" in the list of forums you are delivered to page 1 of the appliance forum thread listings, the page where your thread is now listed. Do not click on your thread. Go down the page until you reach a string of forum page numbers across the page. Under that there is an empty rectangle and a search button. Write fagor in the rectangle and click "Search". The first several threads are not about portables and are helpful.

    The search function "This Forum" found at the bottom of each thread listing page in this appliance forum returns 34 different hits for "fagor". Granted many of them are only a few words in passing and of little help. If the "entire site" choice is clicked the count jumps to 68 and includes items mentioned in all Home Forums like Cooking forum, Cookware, etc.

    The search function at the top of this page contains only 5 returns from harvest forum and appears to be showing forums outside the home section only.

    Another source for appliance info is in the the link. There is only one mention of a Fagor pressure cooker rebate problem which is good news. The KitchenAid range section is a bit longer.
