Why is the range solution not the obvious answer? You will need to buy a wall oven plus a cooktop plus a base cabinet plus counters? A range is the clear winner so why are you even considering a cooktop?

"I would prefer putting a cooktop (yes that would require likely retrofitting a matching quartz piece)."

You would need two 240-volt electrical circuits, one for each appliance, with their electrical boxes in the proper locations as shown in the spec sheets.

You would need an additional cabinet -- one that would match your existing cabinets -- which would then have to be cut and fitted to support the oven. You would then have to wire, lift the oven into the cabinet, and secure it. You would need a new countertop and make a cutout for the compatible cooktop. The cooktop would have to be wired, dropped in, and fixed to the cutout.

Or you could just buy a 36" induction range (e.g., Electrolux ECFI3668AS, Monogram ZHP365ETVSS), plug it in, and slide it into position.

Mainly due to the prohibitive costs associated with an induction range - specifically 36". Wolf, monogram, thermador are all ~11k, while their respective cooktops are around 3500.

I was mainly asking if a cooktop would work here in terms of aesthetics.

Thanks!

Pretty kitchen! It could be tough to get a good match for your quartz and are you talking about that whole length of counter or just a strip in front of and behind the cooktop? (Because then you have seams in addition to the risk of a less-than perfect match.) You could avoid needing a strip in front if you get an induction range top (knobs on front panel) vs cooktop, but then you're getting into pricier territory from what I've seen. I like the advice above to get an induction range.

Maybe you can find some good Black Friday deals.

Well, sure…aesthetically a cooktop would be a non issue.

The issues are what was pointed out by @HALLETT & Co. I don’t see how you’d be saving money doing all that, vs just getting a range to slide into the space.

I say this as someone who wanted to avoid a range at costs, for ergonomic reasons. My reno was designed around a Thermador (gas) range top, and Miele double wall ovens.

Remember that you will also have all of the other costs of the wall oven, cabinet, counter, wiring, etc. if you go the cooktop route. When I looked at it for our space, the cost difference was pretty much a wash. There are 36” range options at lower price points, though—I’m leaning towards Fisher & Paykel but there are some that are even less than that.

The Electrolux ECFI3668AS induction range is $5000. And what about the cost of a second 240-volt circuit, cabinet, wall oven, countertop, labor?

I have a 30” Fisher Paykel induction stove and am very happy with it. The price is probably higher now- I purchased mine four years ago- but it was quite reasonable, just under 4K as I recall.

This 36" Electrolux lists for $5k. Possibly less on sale at BF. This will, in any case, be less expensive then buying a cooktop and a seperate matching oven meant to work under a cooktop. Plus the quartz work and cabinet. There is a combo I would consider. A Miele Combi-Steam oven under an as yet unreleased Miele full surface induction cooktop. Miele is starting US production of cooking appliances this year.

We just got an Induction Hardware range to replace our old gas stove and have been loving it!! The ovens are really great too, we have had a great experience thus far and its so much better to cook on than gas, way safer for our kids
