Customers appreciate the induction cooktop's performance and the oven's even cooking capabilities, noting that food cooks quickly. They also find the range easy to use and clean. However, some customers mention challenges with the size of the burners, finding that smaller pans may not heat efficiently on the larger burner. The slower heating time of the burners compared to other brands was also noted by some users.

I've only had this for a week or so but really like it so far. The induction cooktop is performing flawlessly so far. I really like having knobs for the burners instead of push buttons but I do think the knobs are kinda close to one another, (a little bit harder to clean I think). I've used the oven several time and seems to bake just fine. I'll post back if I have anything else to add but so far so good!!

This has got to be the greatest (so far) advance cooking has experienced. (So far) I was always a little skeptical about induction cooking since it was first introduced. Now that I have experienced this first hand with this range it by far exceeds any expectation I could’ve had. I can boil a couple water in just over one minute. Probably just as quick as the microwave. The cooktop barely gets warm. If you have ever stood over a range to constantly stir something to a boil and experienced the heat Standard electric range or even a gas range, it’s almost unbearable. The only thing that gets hot is the pot and its contents. The pro bake oven cooks and bakes evenly like no other other I have experienced. On top of its outstanding performance this appliance is the sharpest cleanest looking range out there. Not to mention the rebate that SMUD is offering. $750!

This is good induction range. We actually wanted a different model but this was the only one at the time that wasn't junk, a weird size or just plain ugly. Doesn't help that LG and other manufacturers are having trouble filling demand. Anyway, the only thing that we don't like about the range is the design of the induction elements. They are just a little dumber than others we have used. They only work correctly with certain size pots and pans. Too small or too big, and they either don't work correctly or the range complains and shuts down the element. It's not a huge deal, just a little annoying. When using the correct size pots and pans, it works perfectly. If the pot or pan seems to be getting hot but not as hot as you think, it is likely a size issue. Try using a different size pot/pan or a different element. We have had less issues with the KitchenAid induction pans than others. If you have the space for a wall over, I would do that and get an induction cooktop. The stand alone cooktops have more options than you will find in a range cooktop.
