When I needed a new stove, I knew I wanted induction. It is energy efficient and much quicker to respond to temperature adjustments. I had to buy nearly all new cookware and am still collecting items as I find a use for them. It takes some time to learn a new stove, but now that I have used it for 6 weeks, I am very happy with how the heat holds at a steady temperature and the burners respond to changes. The convection oven works great and cooks at a 25 degree lower temperature because of the fan-circulated heat. The stove top is attractive and very easy to clean. I would definitely recommend this stove.
