GE.

The Frigidaire freestanding are about $900-1000. Delivered. https://www.ajmadison.com/b.php/Frigidaire%3BRange+Cooktop+Induction%3BRanges/N~25+4294836579+4294967259

After looking at reviews of the Frigidaire, I think I will pass.

Lots of bad reviews about an F40 error. That’s too similar to the problem I’m having with my Electrolux and I would have to also live with cheap build quality. I’m seeing E14 and E15 errors on the Electrolux.

I don’t think it will last long enough to even be worth $1000. I wonder what corners they cut to be able to make the Frigidaire induction ranges several hundred dollars cheaper than the next brand of induction range closest in price?

I think I’ll look at brands like GE, LG, Samsung and maybe Kitchenaid.

I see that some slide in models can be direct replacements for freestanding ranges without having to make any modifications to the kitchen, so that opens a few more choices.

You have my empathy. I am in the process of replacing my Electrolux free-standing induction range. The dreaded E15 error. I was able to keep it going for 2 years. Here is a helpful link: https://www.qsf5.com/2017/05/09/troubleshooting-the-electrolux-ew30is6cjsb/ Maya's hint re cleaning the gaskets is one to look at. I replaced the circuit board, without success. But decided not to replace the touch panel. I rejected the new inexpensive Frigidaires. I am leaning towards the GE Cafe double oven. I seriously considered the Dacor and Bertazzoni. The Bertazzoni is similar in price to the Cafe and is very well built. That it doesn't have a clock or timer bothers me. That the Cafe has only a single timer does as well! I rejected the GE Profile because the controls are on the cooktop. I do think water and moisture were likely responsible for the E15 errors. I can't get the Cafe delivered until 9/21. I'll post a report after I get it. I really liked the Electrolux!

Doesn't surprise me given Electrolux is the parent company of Frigidaire. I'd stay away from Samsung.

Maybe I will look at the Frigidaire models after all. I have seen some models on sale for less than $900.

For $900-$1000 plus a 5 year extended warranty for $170, it might be worth it if the cooktop works well and if the warranty really covers 100% for both parts and labor for any defects and failures. If it fails after 5 years, I would consider it disposable and buy another.

I just need to find a store that actually haw the Frigidaire induction ranges on display so I can touch and feel them. The local Lowes, Home Depot and Best Buys all had zero induction ranges on display, They are all special order only.

I'm still curious how Frigidaire can make an induction range that regularly sells for $999 when the next competing brands generally start at $1999 and up.

Otherwise, I will shop around for a countertop induction cooktop to use temporarily and buy something nicer later this year or even next year. I rarely used more than one burner at a time the entire 9 years I've had the Electrolux.

Induction started and has continued as an overpriced item in the US when compared with Europe. On PricerunnerUK there are 273 induction "cookers" (ranges) starting at 204 pounds($250). 24" is popular. https://www.pricerunner.com/cl/101/Cookers?attr_415=4615&attr_657=50445038

If a model you're considering is available at Costco you'll get a 2yr manufactures warranty which is doubled if you use a Costco Visa. They have GE.

I looked at what Costco had available and the least expensive induction ranges were in the $1800 to $1900 range on sale and the $1800 model was out of stock not available for purchase.

I went to a local Sears outlet and was able to actually see the Frigidaire Gallery model that regularly is discounted to $999. They had a floor model that was marked down to $810, but it was in black steel and looked a bit rough for wear. Their delivery and warranty costs were overpriced, so the out the door price was going to actually going to cost more than getting a brand new model elsewhere.

It was about what I expected in quality. The oven door felt light and the racks and drawer don't glide smoothly like my Electrolux and it doesn't have the nice glass touch screen with Wave Touch. It instead has a plastic panel where you have to press down on each control button until it flexes inward instead of just lightly touching. Feels much cheaper.

However, it is only $999 plus $160 for for 5 years of coverage with no deductible and totaled $1200 before tax including the charges installation and removal of the Electrolux.

It's back ordered, so there is a 2 to 3 week wait for delivery.

If it fails in less than five years, it will be covered and if it fails out of warranty after 5 years, I can buy another and would have still spent less than I did for the original Electrolux. Maybe higher end induction ranges will be lower in price in another 5 years anyway.

Considering how cheap portable single burner induction cooktops are, the price difference between a standard electric range vs an induction of similar quality doesn't seem justified.

I found that I should be able to get an $150 rebate from Frigidaire https://s3.amazonaws.com/rws-production-rws-rebate-forms/OIKVXBVW.pdf https://www.frigidairepromotions.com/new plus another $100 rebate from my local power company after installation.

If I was switching from gas to induction, the local electric company has a $500 rebate (they require before and after photos showing the old gas stove in place and the new induction stove in place to claim the $500).

I canceled the order for the Frigidaire FGIF3036TF and replaced it with a new Frigidaire model FGIH3047VF . Since it's a new model, there are only a few reviews online for this model and I decided to take a chance on it.

It was price matched with Best Buy's current $1399.99 sale price and $199.99 for 5 years of protection.

For the extra $400, I will get slide-in style, true convection and steam cleaning for the oven. The only negative I can find is that the largest element is 8.3 inches vs 9 inches on the FGIF3036TF. So, at least this isn't a downgrade in every way over my freestanding Electrolux and is still half the cost.

This model is available to be delivered this weekend.

I also ordered a $70 Duxtop portable induction burner from Amazon so I always have something to use if this Frigidaire has a few breakdowns during the warranty period.

following... thinking of getting this model for our new build. Jaxo, if you could update with any other comments with your ongoing experience it would be very much appreciated.

Looks very nice. Congratulations!!!

I’ve had great luck with my Kenmore. I can’t even remember when we bought it (2007?)

Jaxo, thanks for the updates. I did order the GE Cafe because. I was very spoiled having the Electrolux Wavetouch. There seemed to be something missing from everyone of the more affordable induction ranges available now. I am looking forward to hearing about your experience as you adjust to the Frigidaire. And I am looking forward to the delivery of mine.

I like having the touch controls, but I won't really miss Wave-Touch the Electrolux had.

It was a nice trick, but kind of a gimmick. It was only needed because the screen goes blank and you wouldn't know where to press to turn on the burners otherwise.

So, you have to wave your fingers over the screen to wake it up and then press again in the correct spot to turn on the burner or oven.

The Frigidaire has the controls printed on the screen so you can always see where to press and it saves a step. Maybe it looks "cleaner" to have the screen completely blank when the range isn't in use on the Electrolux with Wave-Touch, but it isn't a big deal to me.

I'm using the oven for the first time today.

I normally use my Breville oven for everything, but the package instructions on a frozen pot pie said don't use a toaster oven.

Maybe next time I'll try baking it the Breville anyway, but this was a good test just to make sure the oven works before I really needed to use it for something too large for the Breville.

It's working, but the first thing I noticed is how noisy it is. A fan constantly runs during preheat and then the fan cycles on and off several times per minute during baking even when you don't use convection.

The fan was so loud and rattly when it first started up, that I thought it might be defective.

After the oven heated up, the rattle went away and the fan sounded more smooth, but was still annoyingly loud.

The other issue I noticed vs my previous oven is that it doesn't have any option to do timed baking so that the oven turns itself off automatically. There is a delay start option and a cooking timer, but the cooking timer can't be set to turn off the oven. It just beeps and you still have to manually turn off the oven. So, you can't put anything in the oven and leave the house without the possibility that the food will be burning if you are delayed getting back home.

The oven also doesn't have a temperature probe.

Since I rarely ever use a full sized oven for anything and purchased this range primarily for the induction cooktop, these shortcomings are not a major issue for me.
