I have the range that Jan posted, it’s great!

I added exactly that when I remodelled my kitchen 3 years ago. I have the LG (https://www.homedepot.com/p/LG-Electronics-6-3-cu-ft-30-in-Slide-In-Electric-Smart-Range-with-ProBake-Convection-Induction-Self-Clean-in-Stainless-Steel-LSE4616ST/305097196) and I've been very happy with it. I love cooking on my kitchen island! It is slightly raised at the back, so there is a 1" strip of stainless steel facing outwards.

The Samsung model has an optional black metal strip which can be removed if you are installing it in an island so you only have the black glass showing.

Yes that is always an issue with a new range so big item to check when buying replacement .I am curious how you plan to vent the new one.

hi czgan, thank you for the heads up. did you have to modify cabinet too?? I‘ve plan to change island countertop.

Hi Jan Moyer, Hallett & Co, thank you for the recommendation! I initially ruled out Samsung because of its bad rep on refrigerators. I have Samsung washer, don’t recommend, either. You must be happy with its range, how long have you had it?

Hi Patricia, I plan to to buy 36” island range hood for 30” range. learned it’s more expensive than wall hood, it is what it is. My house doesn’t have high ceiling. the duct will go up -> 90 degree -> then vent on the exterior wall (above the window)

I've had it for a couple of months, but I have a client who has had it for a year or so. Neither of us have had any issues. The stove has good features, of course induction is amazing. I liked that it had knobs for the burners not a touch screen (obviously there is a touchscreen for the rest of the features) The LED 'flame' is a little silly but at least you know what burner is on.

I am planning on this range https://www.kitchenaid.com/major-appliances/ranges/slide-in-ranges/p.30-inch-4-element-induction-slide-in-convection-range-with-baking-drawer.ksib900ess.html Good reviews, large oven, looks lovely in person. The small part that sticks up a little along the back is the oven vent.

so it's an oven vent...I am trying to find a flat one with the surface like a cooktop. It's on an island facing the front door and with breakfast nook...Other than Samsung recommended above, it seems they all have this part sticking out...

Ah I see now, I thought you wanted to avoid the controls on the back that stick up. We have an old smooth top electric cooktop in our island, but we also have a downdraft that slightly sticks up (our island is also the first thing you see when you walk in). You want a nice smooth look.

hi A Green . The cabinets did not need refitting . just ths countertop. Glad you were already replacing!

Where's a picture of the existing kitchen from a few angle : )??? Including from the front door.

i posted some in the above post. also here’s what you see when entering front door

Here's the issue: You are using two threads, and all of the issues are one kitchen.

Which results in piecemeal answers............and possibly shortcuts to not great solutions. That's ALL I'm saying. : )

Seems if you provided ALL the pics, some folks could help with a cost effective way to better, and to more function.

Hi Jan, Not sure why the whole kitchen picture are critical. Do you know a slide-in range with flat glass top?

Lwo they don’t want a grill or trim piece at the back because of the island install. The Samsung is perfect for their needs but they are wary about Samsung.

Thank you Hallett & CO. I thought the title was clear...I want a slide-in induction range. Not electric range, not full kitchen remodel. Samsung is pretty, but my husband refuses to buy any Samsung product. Based on our washer, I agree with him. I would buy any american brand over Samsung washer, btw.

LWO, thank you for the insight. I guess if I stick to induction and want a flat top, I'll have to look for cook top + wall oven combo then. More money...oh well. nothing is easy.

Thank you LWO. In that case, I'll just have to live with having a small vent sticking out the island then...I would go with GE Cafe, GE Profile.

The following is not addressed to you, LWO, just a general comment. I've done extensive reading last weekend at this Kitchen forum. I understand the predominant voices on Houzz ask for range and hood on kitchen perimeter. I wish I read it before I bought the house. The previous owner spent 300K and hired an architect to remodel the house. It's very difficult to change the current design without gutting it. I now know the difference between a DIY house and a professionally architected house. Every design has a reason and it's symmetry everywhere.

I've talked to four builders about moving the range off the island. There's no place along the perimeter...my only option is to remodel the whole kitchen, taking down the exterior wall and relocate the windows. I can't do that because I just bought the house and I've already paid for the current kitchen. I definitely should ignore pros who enforce their ideas on homeowners. Of course it's easy to gut the whole thing and start fresh, but that's also the most expensive solution for homeowners.

The parts and prices of appliances come from the world over! China!

Brazil!. If it's put together here? It's "made in America"

More to the point? I marry Monogram ranges with Sub Zero cooing!

Why? Everyone is good at sonething, just not EVERY thing.

Jan, I said in OP that my budget is under 4K for the range, so I don't even look at Monogram and SubZero. Mine is not a designer kitchen, for sure. Also, can I have personal preference, which is no Samsung appliance? I did thank you for your recommendation of a Samsung range in an earlier post. There's no need to feel offended.

You deleted some pretty offensive words in another post in this thread. It's unfortunately in my email. Houzz sent notification to me before you edited the post.

My point was ONLY that a poster gave you a great recommend for the Samsung I posted. They may stink on washers, ( Never used ) and be GREAT at the cook . I wasn't not suggesting you buy either of the other, it is why I posted the Samsung.

Offensive words? No I did not, and I would appreciate very much, you not imply that I did.

Have a darn nice day.

PS. I deleted my OWN post when I realized you had two threads going. That was the only reason I deleted.

Hi @A Green I was wondering what you ended up doing? It's 2 years later and I'm in the same predicament. I have a bad experience with Samsung, but looking for an island-ready induction range without a tall vent along the back like LG has. I've recently upped my budget and looking into KitchenAid now but curious what you found? Thanks for sharing your experience!

Mickey C, why not GE Cafe slide-in induction?

@boba1 they are beautiful ranges. Do you have one in an island? Are you happy with it? That line is about 1K+ over budget for me, otherwise I'd be open to it :)

@Mickey C, no I don't have the GE Cafe. My house came with a slide in range and that's what I wanted. I knew the Cafe was coming out with a double oven and I tried to wait for it, but my old range gave out and I needed to get a replacement and the KitchenAid double oven induction was the only one at the time

Also, please read the discussion I linked as the KA slide-in induction is cited.

KitchenAid Induction fires

Thank you for sharing that. I had no idea. I appreciate it. Back to the drawing board, including looking into Cafe. Thanks
