If you purchase this induction range before December 31, Samsung will throw in a six-piece induction cookware set for free. We’re also huge fans of this range’s ultra-contemporary design with built in ambient edge lighting.

Best smart induction range and cooktop: LG Smart induction range

Model number: LSIL6336FE | Design: Electric slide-in | Oven capacity: 6.3 cu. ft. | Cooktop: 4 induction burners (2x 6″, 1x 8″, 1x 11″) | Available colors: Stainless steel | Controls: 6 front dials, touch controls and display | Smart functionality: Yes | Extra cooking functions: Air fry, air sous vide mode, convection mode, cooktop offers a rapid boil and simmering mode | Dimensions: 29 7/8 (W) x 36 3/5 (H) x 26 7/8 (D) inches

Induction ranges, like this smart model from LG, offer the most efficient heat delivery system for cooking, so you can expect precision temperature control, plus faster and safer cooking. You can use this appliance as an advanced convection oven, air fryer or take advantage of its air sous vide mode. 

A dual-speed fan evenly distributes the super-heated air to provide consistent temperature throughout the 6.3 cubic feet of cooking space (which includes two removable racks). Simply knock twice on the oven door to turn on the interior light whenever you want to check on your food, without losing heat by having to open the door.

This slide-in range uses dial and touch controls that are easily accessible on the front. The front and top of the range also offer a finger-print resistant coating. And as a smart appliance, this one works with LG’s ThinQ app, so you can control the induction oven remotely, plus take advantage of the scan-to-cook feature that allows you to scan the barcode of some pre-packaged foods using your phone and have the cooking instructions automatically sent to the range. 

Pre-programmed oven modes include bake, convection bake, convection roast, broil high, broil low, warm, keep warm, proof, frozen meal, air fry, air sous vide, easy clean and self clean.

Best double oven induction range and cooktop: Samsung induction range

Model number: NE63T8951SS | Design: Electric slide-in | Oven capacity: 6.3 cu. ft. | Cooktop: 4 induction burners (2x 7″, 1x 6″, 1x 11″) | Available colors: Stainless steel, black stainless steel | Controls: 4 front dials, touch controls and display | Smart functionality: Yes | Extra cooking functions: Virtual flames on the cooktop, air fry mode, quick boil feature, built in smart dial (that remembers user cooking preferences) | Dimensions: 29 15/16 (W) x 36 – 36.75 (H) x 28 11/16 (D) inches

What sets this induction oven apart is that it offers two separate ovens that can also be used as one, depending on your needs. When divided into two, you can prepare different foods at different cooking temperatures. The Convection+ feature relies on a fan at the rear of the oven to circulate the hot air to maintain the perfect temperature when either baking or roasting.

As for the cooktop, one of its most notable features is Express Boil, which brings water to a boil extremely fast. We also love what the company calls Virtual Flame technology that’s built into this cooktop. This innovative (and rather cool looking) feature uses LED lights to surround the lower section of your pans with what looks like a realistic virtual flame. This allows you to tell when the induction burners are turned on and working. It mimics the blue flames you’d see when using a gas burner, but in this case, the cooktop relies on induction cooking technology that offers much more precise temperature control. When the burners are on, the knobs are also surrounded by blue illumination.

Induction ranges are up to 50% more energy efficient than a gas range and 70% more energy efficient than a traditional electric ranges, so this translates to considerable energy bill savings over time. This slide-in induction range from Samsung is no exception when it comes to saving. It offers the versatility you’d want from a range, including a no pre-heat air fry mode. 

As a smart appliance that supports Samsung’s SmartThings app, so you remotely handle tasks, like preheating the oven to a specific temperature using a voice command into your phone and then be alerted when the requested temperature has been reached.

Head over to Samsung, where you’ll find money-saving deals when you purchase two or more major appliances at the same time. This includes up to an additional $600 off the appliances’ sale prices when you but four of them at once. Plus, until December 31, when you purchase this induction range, Samsung is throwing in a six-piece induction cookware set for free.

Best induction range and cooktop with air fry: GE Profile 5.3 cu. ft. induction range

Since this is a smart appliance, you can remotely control and monitor it using your smartphone and the GE SmartHQ app. You also get voice control support for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. To maintain its modern and minimalist aesthetic, this induction oven uses only touch controls and a built in display — no physical dials. Inside the oven, you can use up to three oven racks at once. And the front door of the oven includes a large built-in window. This range’s biggest drawback is its 5.3 cu. foot oven capacity, since most competitors in this price range offer a 6.3 cubic foot capacity.

How to pick the best induction range

First consider the space in your kitchen for a new induction range and cooktop. While many of these appliances come in a standard width, their height and depth can vary. In some cases, the appliance height is adjustable. That said, if the product is referred to as a slide-in range, this means it’s designed to fit into a standard space between kitchen countertops and cabinets and will literally side into that space. It should then be flush against the countertop and the front of your cabinets. In this case, the display and controls are typically located on the front of the appliance or on the surface the cooktop.

A freestanding range can be placed anywhere within the kitchen, so it’s dimensions may not be standard. Unlike a slide-in range, the sides of a freestanding range are meant to be seen. The control knobs built into a freestanding range can be placed anywhere on the appliance, not necessarily on the front or top of it.

Next, determine what your kitchen is already equipped for. Electric induction ranges need to be plugged into a power outlet. And the outlet in your kitchen needs to be able to handle the power needs of the new appliance. This is something an electrician can help you determine. Meanwhile, if your existing range uses gas, it’ll be necessary to hire a plumber to disconnect or seal off the gas feed in your kitchen before the new induction oven gets installed.

Another thing to consider is the appearance of the induction range and cooktop. Make sure it’ll fit in nicely with the decor of your kitchen and aesthetically fit in with your kitchen’s other major appliances. If your existing refrigerator and dishwasher have a solid white glass finish, an induction oven with a stainless steel finish or black stainless steel finish might look a bit awkward or clash.

You’ll need the right type of cookware

Not all cookware is compatible with an induction range and induction cooktop. If you’re existing cookware is not designed for use with this type of appliance, your pots and pans will need to be replaced. 

The KitchenAid hard anodized induction nonstick cookware pots and pans set is a popular, 10-piece set in matted black that’s sold on Amazon for $260. It has an average 4.6-star rating based on almost 3,000 reviews. These pots and pans are easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
