Don’t know anything about them, but I suggest you add the appliance forum to your question as well.

Dear wdccruise,

Thank you. No matter which induction cooktop I get, I have to cut the counter. We're building a new kitchen now, starting from scratch, so the countertop will be cut according to my needs. I didn't want to give up 30" for the Frigidaire 30" one that's reasonably priced because the counter space is really impt to me, and i won't be doing much cooking on this induction one anyway (it's my dairy cooktop, kosher kitchen so we have two of everything like two kitchens...for dairy i need very little cooking space as we hardly eat dairy, and for meat and the rest of cooking i bought a 36" gas range).

Also, about the counter cutting - I think that if I cut for a 24" one now, and years later want to replace it with a 30" - that's better, than the other way around.

Your thoughts about all of the above?

Thank you so much for your input.

If the goal is to minimize the use of counterspace, maybe a vertical model such as this True Induction TI-2BN would make sense: HD, Amazon. There's also this Fisher & Paykel CI122DTB2N and cheap Summit SINC2220.

For the dairy part do you need an actual cooktop or can you just get a separate appliance that is induction for when you need it. That way you n only use up counter space when you need it and have it stored away elsewhere. They are also a whole lot cheaper.

Lyfia,

I do need it installed as an actual cooktop, but thanks for pointing that out.

I have a True Induction, 2 'burner' cooktop (portable, not permanently installed). Purchased approximately 5-6 years ago. It is my only 'cooking' appliance and I love it.
