Thanks! I've already seen what's available. I am just super unsure of what is the best option. Hoping for recommendations on a particular brand or model.

1. Do you have a dedicated 240 volt outlet/electrical box for the cooktop or only 120 volt?
2. How many elements do you want?
3. Do you have a budget?
4. How large an oven, if any, are you planning and where is it to be located?
5. Where will a microwave oven, if any, be located?
6. Are you sure that you cannot fit a 30" cooktop?

I'm happy with my Wolf 30 in. cooktop, now 18 months old. The hobs aren't overly fussy about pan size: a six inch pot works on the 8 inch hob; an 8 inch skillet works on the 11 inch hob. I don't find the controls to be overly fussy either. Once in a very long while a control doesn't immediately respond because my fingers are wet or cold, but it's so rare that it always comes as a shock. Very happy with the temperature range, the steadiness of heat, the bridge feature. Only gripe is the burners are tough to see if the vent light isn't on.

@wdccruise, I cannot do larger than a 24-in. I am only looking for people's experiences on 24-in. induction cooktops and if there is a brand they prefer. Do you have one?

@awm03, thank you! We recently saw a Wolf in person and the person who had it was also quite happy. I'm not sure it's within our budget, though it's not outside the realm of possibility.
