Cooking on induction is a step above "electric"- food turns out tasting better and with less chance of accidentally burning the bottom of a soup or stew left to simmer.  

The true convection is great.  

I also thought that the wifi and phone app was a gimick- but I installed it anyway and as an apple watch wearer I get a notification when my timer is up or when my oven is done preheating.  This is a great feature to have as the timer is not loud (that is actually appreciated in our household) and I don't feel as though I am tied to my range when I am cooking something.  I can even head out into the yard knowing I will get a notification when the timer goes off.
