Induction range question

8 years ago

I'm thinking of buying an LG slide-in induction range for my kitchen remodel, which will go on in an island. I read one review that said it does not go flush to the counter on the back, which is an issue if there is no wall behind the range. They also said there is no over the counter rim on the sides to prevent spillage between the range and the counter. Does anyone have this range who could address these questions? I can't seem to find the range in a store to be able to see it for myself.

Yes, you're right that there's no over-the-counter rim:

I don't mind that at all, and makes moving it easier. The back has a small downdraft vent, so it sits flush against the counter behind it, but rises about 1/2 higher because of that.

As you can see, I also have my LG induction range in an island, and I love it. Island placement isn't a good idea in some homes, but it's perfect in mine. Don't let anyone tell you it's never a good idea.

Toronto— what kind of vent hood? Your set-up is beautiful.

That's a Kobe, I think the Kobe Brilla model. Here's a wider view (9' ceiling):

FYI: that's really not a "downdraft vent". It's the oven vent.

The view of the vent was helpful to me too, since this is a total kitchen remodel, even removing a wall!

Thanks; I didn't really know what it was called, but it does seem to vent a little. But, as you can see, I don't rely on it as a vent - I guess it does so just because of air pressure or something.
