>>>"so if anyone's had a bad experience with their brand/model"<<<

Experience with a range can be "bad" in a several different ways --- badly designed which affects usability;" badly built which makes the model (or brand) unreliable and/or prone to failure; and badly supported which is a problem because some defective units of any stove will get past production quality control and/or have parts that wear out.

So, for an example of "prone to failure" bad you've already seen the long running and still active thread "GE Induction Range Problem" for bad experiences with breakdowns with that brand, haven't you? GE has sold a lot of induction ranges, so it may be hard to judge how prevalent the problems are just from the duration and number of posters in that thread, but there does seem to be some cause for concern.

For an example of bad design, you've been around here long enough that you probably know of the very long and long-running threads on Whirlpool 's much maligned the "Aqualift" oven cleaning (including WP's Maytag, Kitchen Aid and Jenn Air brands and affecting all kinds of ranges, not just induction). For readers not aware of them, the still active threads are: "Do No Buy Whirlpool AquaLift" and "AquaLift Technology on Maytag Ranges/Oven Cleaning".

For an example of badly designed , built and/or badly supported, the thread that comes to mind is this "Bertazzoni Induction Ranges."

If you have not looked into the above threads before, there will be plenty of reading while waiting for indiividual user responses.

Thank you, I had seen the Aqualift thread past by, but didn't really pay it much attention as I was thinking cooking, not cleaning. I had not seen the GE induction thread, and I'll read it now - thank you.

I've not paid very good attention to brands when I've used induction but the two biggest issues I've had w/ induction ranges and so a couple of things to look for are;

- Poor low heat performance. Some will not only not simmer but will not get anywhere close.

- Uneven distribution of heat across the bottom of the pan.

I very much like the feature rich Electrolux slide in I currently have, two ball bearing roller racks, 23 hob power levels including boost, simmers great as I assume your LG does, and a two speed convection fan, high speed for both convection roast and convection broil, I do not know if the high speed fan is the same feature as the air fry on the lower priced Frigidaire versions, they certainly are a good value price point. I would recommend an extended warranty with any induction range.

I bought a Samsung induction range from Lowes at less than half price (special order return) and the induction top has been great for 5 years, but the oven temperatures are very inconsistent, to the point of making meal timing very difficult. I believe there are many similar complaints about Samsung ovens.
