I purchased a GE inductive slide-in two months ago and I LOVE it. It is relatively easy to clean IF you wait until the stovetop cools. Use the recommended cleaner, rinse, and dry with a quality microfiber cloth.

I also like being able to place towels on the stovetop with frying or cooking sauces.

Most fascinating is how fast the "heat" lowers when you want to go from boil to simmer. Amazing stove.

I thank you both! Our install date will be in October. When the project gets underway I will post a picture. Glad to hear good things, just need to learn a new way to cook!

Hi Nicolette, a lot of people find once they try cooking on induction, they fall in love! Feel free to reach out to us to help troubleshoot any questions! Thanks.

Nicolette - go out and buy a cheapo countertop induction unit, to see if you like it! That's what I did - $50 from Costco, and it worked long enough for me to be impressed with the minute control, timer, speed, etc - everything you read is true. It did hum slightly, but it seemed more something to do with the time of day than any particular cookware, which we put down to being in a rural area with occasional power surges.

Anyway, the unit died after a month or so, as I expected, so I returned it for a full refund, and will be getting a better quality countertop one soon (Mirage Pro).

Best bet in the US for a countertop unit is apparently Max Burton - from Amazon, etc, and they're around $100. Just make sure you get enough wattage - the cheaper ones generally only have 1300 watts, and you won't see much improvement on a regular cooktop, so go for upwards of 1400 watts.

The induction bit is apparently made by only one or two companies in the world, ditto the glass top, and everything else is icing on the cake - better controls, better box, better fan, etc.

@Electrolux -- I have your induction slide-in and I absolutely LOVE it!

@Nicolette -- don't worry, you will love it too... just as responsive (maybe more) than gas and clean up is a breeze. Seriously -- you will be glad. There is a bit of a learning curve to it, but you'll be down with it in no time at all.

Thank you, Kimdee! Glad to hear that you are enjoying!
