GE Induction Need a deal

18 years ago

I have an old Jenn-air downdraft cooktop with radiant burners that I hate, hate, hate! I am going behind husbands back and getting an induction cooktop. He will not be happy about the price but he will get over it. So I am looking for a deal! I have read all of your helpful posts on induction. Most reasonable price seems to be the GE induction cooktop ( black, frameless,no knobs)PHP900. Any suggestions on where to get a deal? The induction website that everyone refers to is now selling cooktops. Think it would be safe to order online from them? I don't order much online. Thank you to everyone for posting information on this forum. It is so helpful.

    Would you consider the Kenmore induction cooktop? It was the first affordable option available and I have read about many who are very happy with that purchase. I plan on ordering the Kenmore 36" cooktop this evening for a great deal.

    Check out Sears tonight, Sun,30th from 6-9 pm. They are offering their friends and family sale (Open to everyone and online too.) The sale is an extra 10% off everything but they are also marking their Kenmore appliances down 20% so they will be about 30% off. I noticed their Kenmore Elite and built in appliances advertised as 10% off so I'm not sure if the Kenmore induction will be 30% or just 20% off but it's gotten close enough to install that I'll be oredering online this evening for either discount but I'm sure hoping for 30%!!

    The Kenmore was 20 + 10 % off!! I just bought the 36" Kenmore for $1584.00. The online deal is good through 6am Monday. I can't beleive I'm excited over a $1500 cooktop that now needs an equally expensive wall oven to go with it. But I am!!!

    My area Home Depot has all appliances 10% off through Wed. plus a Visa gift card for $150. This brings it down to $1470.

    Congratulations, stephand, on the great deal!!! I think you will love your induction cooktop. I have the 30", and couldn't be happier :)

    There was talk a while back that Sears was going to have an induction range available and from the way it sounded it should have been out by now. Anyone know anything about this? I'm really interested in induction but am looking for a freestanding or possibly a slide in range.

    I questioned somebody at Sears and she knew nothing about an induction range. I don't think she even knew what induction was,although they had a non-working induction cooktop on display.

    I ordered a GE profile cooktop and got the loaded VISA gift card as well. As long as you can wait, GE often seems to have deals involving 10% off or rebates of one kind or another.

    Found the 30" Ge profile induction at a local store for $1500. Husband and son installed today.I told him the price and I'm still alive. Guess I complained about the Jenn-Air cooktop so much that he didn't care that much about the price. It looks so good! Fried a hamburger in my cast iron skillet and I liked how quickly the pan would heat and how quickly I could lower the heat. I will play more tomorrow. Just had to shout out about my new cooktop! I am very happy. Now I will be hunting for pans.

    cherie: I would love to hear an update on how you like your new GE Profile Induction (PHP900). We're about to embark on the same adventure! We've never had induction before so we don't know what to expect. We've heard almost all good comments on the Profile induction. Any drawbacks?
    The one thing that I am most concerned with is the induction "humming". Have you any thoughts you'd like to share on this since you've now had it for a few months?

    The cheapest price I have found on this unit including delivery is from www.fotoconnection.com - it's $1438.99. I plan on taking the print out I made from them to our local Home Depot, where they said that they'd price match. (Their original quote was $1699) I'd rather deal with someone face to face than over the internet or phone, but still save over $200.

    Interested in hearing your thoughts soon, Cherie! Hope you are still checking in on GW. Please share what you did for pans as well - I'd be curious to know what brand you purchased.

    Thanks,
    Boxie

    I'll bet dimes to dollars that you do not have the proper power going to your current cooktop. Perhaps before 'going behind your husbands back' you ought to make sure.
