Electrolux or GE Profile Induction?

15 years ago

I've read all the summaries already here but I need to make a decision by the end of the weekend (we will be without a stove on Monday so I need to order a new one so we can get it ASAP) and I'm really torn between the Electrolux and the GE induction slide-in ranges. It looks like there are the same # of pros & cons to both! The pricing on the GE is slightly better (which will help when it comes to buying some new pots!) I've read that the E'lux fans are quiet -- what about the GE? Anyone have a strong opinion either way?

Thank you!

I went through this debate earlier in the year except mine was between the 2 freestanding versions.

I ultimately went with the Electrolux. I was able to get in on one of their rebate deals and the difference in price was less than $300. I really wanted the second oven despite knowing that most people consider it not much better than a warming drawer. I'm happy to say the second oven has proven to be very useful to me even though it is more limited in it's abilities than the big oven.

Also even though I scorned the perfect turkey option, I discovered it really and truly made a better turkey than I had ever made on my own. I also frequently use the slow cook option as well as the bread proofing.

So for me the Electrolux was definitely the better option. I haven't cooked on the GE to give you any comparisons but I have no regrets with the Electrolux. I know I would have second guessed myself with the GE because I really wanted the second oven even though I didn't really want to pay for it.

I don't know about the induction ranges, but, in general, Electrolux ovens are better thought of than GE ovens. There isn't that much variation in induction cooktops of the same power rating.

AJ Madison lists GE's freestanding induction range, but not their slide-in version. For better or worse, I think GE's induction slide-in is still quite new -- that may be why not a lot of people here have comments on it as yet.

It may depend on whether you want to wait for some reviews, or if you want to be the first to get one on your block... Electrolux's slide-in came out around March 2010 (as I recall), and by June they'd fixed some quirks in control panel programming. On the other hand, E'lux made a slide-in first then added a freestanding one; GE seems to have done the reverse.

Quick follow-up -- we went with the E'lux induction slide-in range which was delivered yesterday and installed today and while I've only used it once (to cook dinner) so far I love it! It worked beautifully, it was easy to regulate the heat to the correct temperature and the oven fan is almost silent (very important to my husband).

I did have to replace almost all of our pots -- I went with Ikea pots & pans in the "Favorit" line (we are lucky to have an Ikea near us and their pots were so much cheaper than what I was seeing other places).

Thanks for all the help I got here.
