The r/inductioncooking subreddit has been helping people shop for new induction ranges and understand the pros and cons of different models. 

One popular post shared a six-month review of a 30-inch GE Café induction double oven. 

In the review, the original poster said that they had air quality concerns about their previous gas range because their husband and daughter had chronic lung diseases.

"I don't miss it one iota," the OP wrote about their old range. 

They also shared that the new induction range had no learning curve and was responsive and quiet. The GE Café heated up quickly for the OP, with even cooking and efficient heating. 

The OP bought the induction range on sale for about $3,600. However, more affordable options are available if you want to try induction cooking on a budget

Many cooktops start at around $50 and are perfect for renters, people who cook only occasionally, or anyone interested in trying induction for the first time. 

If you want to invest in a larger induction stove, Inflation Reduction Act incentives could save you thousands of dollars. However, it's crucial to act sooner rather than later to take advantage of IRA savings, as they could disappear under the Trump administration.
