    Must be nice. Mine cost a fortune and still isn’t usable.

    • $2,300 to install a new circuit, because it also required a sub panel to open a slot
    • $3,400 for the stove because induction is rare here and they do not have base models
    • $400 to cap off the gas line (coming Monday)
    • -$600 incentive because at least my state is trying

      IKEA sells a 4-zone induction cooktop for $500 in the U.S.

      Granted, this is more expensive than $380 I’d have to pay for a 4-zone induction cooktop from IKEA here in Sweden, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than the $3400 you had to pay.

      WTF? The most expensive one they have in media markt in Spain cost 2000 Euro. Normal models cost around 300. You could have told me, I would just send you one.

      Yeah, fortunately in my case we replaced an electric stove with induction so the power circuit was already in place.

      I could see installing or removing a gas line would be a huge headache. We do have a gas furnace and water heater. I can’t imagine what would be involved in swapping them out.
