"Long time gas range user–switched to a KitchenAid induction range a couple of years ago and love it," responded one user. "Great control, easy to clean, kitchen stays much cooler."
"Yeah I can't ever imagine wanting to go back to gas," added another Redditor. "It's more sustainable, cheaper than gas, doesn't crank up the temp on a hot summer day."
