Frigidaire FPIC3677RF Professional 36 in. 5 Element Induction Cooktop in Stainless Steel with Bridge

I always wonder about companies that awlays did great gas ranges get into electric on any level and do it well. I just bought a new house and cannot wait to get the induction range out a new gas one in. Just trying to find agas fitter in my new city . Sorry can't help but I do understand the glass touch controls , no matter how careful I am my fingers leave stuff behind.

"Can't imagine ever going back to gas."

Me, either. Ease of induction clean-up alone is worth the price of admission.

I considered the BlueStar induction with the knobs, but because at the time I was shopping for a range it was a fairly recent introduction none of the local dealers had a display model. I wasn't about to drop all that $$$ on something I could see and touch first. No way. Maybe the dealers now have them, though.

The highest-wattage element of the BlueStar BSP36INDCKT ($4400) is 2,600 watts while the highest wattage element of the Frigidaire PCCI3080AF (on sale at ajmadison for $1900) is 3,600 watts thought the BS has a higher boost mode.

I think Wolf has the worst touch controls! My mil has a Wolf induction in her vacation house and it drives me bonkers. I have a Smeg and she has Bosch in her other house and they are both so much less finicky than the Wolf. Maybe see if you can find others to test before you rule out touch controls as they make cleaning so simple.

"I think Wolf has the worst touch controls!"

Maybe it depends on the specific Wolf appliance. I have a Wolf Professional induction range. I'm usually anti-touch-control, but I think the touch controls on the Wolf are great. They are very responsive, and they lock for cleaning.

I have a Viking 36” induction cooktop with touch knobs pirchased in 2022 and this will be thw THIRD time the touch control boards have malfunctioned. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. we are currently working with Middleby to try to get it repaired, and they are goving us pushback because it is now out of warranty! Cost to repair is $2,400!! I will go with knobs if I have to replace it.
