KitchenAid - 30 in. Wide 4 elements 6.4 cu. ft. Slide-In Electric Induction Convection Range with Air Fry - Stainless Steel

I was initially very disappointed by the cooktop on this. I had a gas cooktop in my old house, and when I moved here, there was an old electric stove with the coil burners. Some of the pans are labeled for use with induction, or the advice of "if you can stick a magnet to the bottom, it works on induction..." take all that with a grain of salt. On this cooktop, my original pans did not heat evenly, and did not heat well (was not able to get a gallon of water to a rolling boil even after 20 minutes). Switched to high quality, multi-layer stainless cookware, and the difference is night and day. It takes a little under 8 minutes to get a gallon of water from 72 deg to a rolling boil with the pot I have now, so I can't emphasize enough that the cookware can make or break your induction experience. It's a joy to use, burners change power instantly, and it's efficient because it heats the cookware directly. I don't have much experience with the oven, but so far, it heats pretty evenly, and the air frier basket works well.

I like that the oven bakes evenly, two lights in the oven, stove gets hot immediately. I don’t like that it sticks out so much from the cabinets.

This range is awesome. The features are like no other. Our kitchen appliances are all electric Kitchenaid now. All purchased within the last 90 days. Five stars.

I agree with a couple of other reviewers here when they speak on the right pans for the job. Anything made of cast iron, heavy-duty stainless steel (true stainless), or cookware specifically designed for induction will work on this cooktop. The overall look is clean, and the size is right for most slid-in applications. I don't love the touchscreen-style interface for turning on and controlling the burners. It's not an expensive or well-made enough appliance for that interface to work without hesitation or mild frustration (not reading your finger input). My biggest complaint on this unit, though, is the poor burner layout and the size of the actual induction coils on each burner. One of the reasons you need to be so picky about the pans is the tiny area that is the induction unit. And when you don't have the right size pan, it doesn't even register on the burner. Because you only have three size options to choose from, this makes finding the 'sweet spot' very difficult and doesn't allow half of my induction-friendly pans to work on this cooktop. Overall, there are too many compromises one must make for this stovetop to be considered anything but three stars or lower. The oven seems to work wonderfully; therefore, I wish they had taken a little more consideration when building the stovetop, since that is the primary function people need on a day-to-day basis. To sum up, you need extremely high-end cookware to work on this low-end appliance, and this feels like a mismatch and not worth it for most buyers.

Everything works like I hoped it would! I've used the little Induction plates before and loved how fast it responds. That's why I bought this stove. Oven works great too. Love this and would buy another one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a vacation home this year and decided to purchase all kitchen Aid products for the 1st time for our kitchen renovation. This included the range, dishwasher, fridge and wall oven and microwave combo. The appliances were delivered in Aug and installed in Oct. when we moved in Dec 2nd, the range oven would not heat higher than 350 degrees. It took weeks to finally get repair man out to find a new heating unit needed to be ordered and installed, finally fixing it on Dec 31st. It works now but we don’t trust Kitchen Aids Quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using the range for 3 months now. The induction stove and the oven work fine but there are quality and design issues. The stainless steel surface at the front of the range is already scratched and shedding small metal slices. Also, having the range controls under the front/center of the range surface is a very poor design. You can cover the controls by sliding pots/pans off of the front two heating elements or taking something out of the oven and placing it on the stove - so you can't change settings for the heating elements. The range then gives sound when the controls are covered by warm/hot cookware.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this range 3 weeks ago. Still getting use to it. I love the induction range top. but the racks in the oven SUCK!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new range. The induction cooktop is fabulous, super responsive!
