Not my cup-o-tea. My wife and I enjoy preparing meals a lot and though no one would consider us to be gourmet chef quality, we consistently eat well and often cook for large groups.

Over the last 5 days we stayed with extended family in a large Air BnB outside of Phoenix for my daughter's PhD graduation and party. The cooktop was a Frigidaire induction and I found it completely non-intuitive to use. It had 5 coils and a variable heat level. You select the coil, swipe up to get the heat you want in step change from 1-12, and cook away. The problem is that #7 is a decent medium heat for most things but #8 quickly turns your food to charcoal. Did not like. I want a flame I can see visually. If you are already cooking with electric and like it, an induction range would probably be a nice upgrade.

Pros- They look nice and are super easy to clean no matter how much you might spill or splatter.

Cons- It's not a continuously variable heat control and the steps are less than ideal. I really prefer a flame I can see to moderate heat as things develop in the pan.

YMMV
