Induction for under $2,000.00: First Frigidaire, now Samsung

[joeekaitis]

 

Search the Big Three Big Box chains for "induction range" sorted low to high price and a newcomer appears just behind Frigidaire at the sub-$2,000.00 price point:  Samsung.

 

Their new front-control slide-in offerings sell for about $1,500.00 to $1,800.00 competing with radiant electric ranges from the rest.

 

So, who's next?

OK, so which do you prefer? Induction or resistance (electric)?

I happen to prefer gas ranges, but currently I only have a gas cooktop, and an old GE P*7 wall oven. Both work great. The gas cooktop replaced a badly worn/stained Corning electric cooktop about 25 years ago.

Induction, baby!

I had to. They're on sale at Home Depot, Lowe's and Best Buy as of this post. HD's the cheapest. Possibly bowing to pressure from the boutique brands, you have to search Home Depot with the phrase "frigidaire induction range". "Induction range" shows only the thousand-bucks-and-up models...
