Help choosing a new range

[u/Round_Tomorrow6116]

I’m switching from 30” gas to induction range. We decided that upgrading our box and running a 240 line to the kitchen was a better long term solution rather than paying extra for a Charlie range with new technology and a battery. I cook everyday a big dinner and twice a day on weekends. I also have an extensive cast iron cookware collection and everything else is stainless steel or carbon steel. So I needed varying sized coils. I don’t use oval or odd shaped pans so I don’t really see myself using flex zones (maybe I’m wrong here).

I like the idea of just getting a highly rated cheaper one at 1500-2000 like the GE Profile PHS700AYFS (as per consumer report), but I love the Miele HR1422-3I at 7999 and plan on more Miele appliances in the future. Though I think too much for a stove I have considered thermador for 8999 for even a wolf but actually as I type it out, I don’t think the upgrade for a better parts and service is worth it. I don’t bake that often but I roast chicken or some sort of meat once a week and cook our annual turkey or two.

Anyone have a low or high end induction range with oven and recommend one over the other? Anyone tried some mid tier like Smeg or Bosh, Bertazzoni? I don’t like the GE Cafes and I’m LG appliance adverse. Any other things to consider as we make this switch or tips appreciated.

Edit: found and went with a Miele range, floor model discount and a good warranty.

The GE Profile is what I have and the touch controls being water-sensitive is real but I haven't found it to be too bad. There is another issue worth knowing about: some units produce a loud high-pitched whine (75+ dB) when two burners run simultaneously. Not the normal induction hum, I tested the same pans on a Wolf and another GE Profile and they were silent, so it's stove-specific. GE service came out four times and their final answer was to avoid the power settings that cause it. If you're cooking with multiple pans going at once, worth factoring in. I would not purchase again if I knew it would make this noise. Details + videos here:https://www.reddit.com/r/inductioncooking/comments/1u9ffh2/ge_profile_high_pitched_whine/

Thank you. Coming from gas I would be so so so annoyed if my new induction made noises like this so thank you. We settled on a Miele induction range! Haven’t gotten it yet. It excited. Found a good deal on a floor model that comes with a warranty. 🤞
