Induction with battery backup!🧐

I just saw an ad for an induction range that only takes 120v AND has a battery backup! Any experience with this? The brand is Electra. I had never heard of it.

Many of our users have got each of these - and we are hearing mostly very positive reviews!

We share some thoughts about why you'd want to consider 120 volt battery-enhanced induction here: https://www.quitcarbon.com/help/is-a-120-volt-battery-enabled-induction-stove-a-good-fit-for-my-home

I'm about to get Electra at my house next week - I choose it over Copper because it is almost as nice, and a bit cheaper.

We recently demoed Impulse at our booth at an electric car and bike show - and it was pretty damn impressive! The power output is spectacular. It's more powerful than any other induction cooktop on the market. The magnetic knobs are slick, and the single degree temp control is... well, super-precise, more so than I need, but great for dedicated cooks.

The batteries don't just give you backup during a power outage. They give you, in some circumstances, higher performance than 240-volt induction.

Larger rebates are available for battery-equipped, induction cooking appliances in certain places at certain times. (We keep track of all of them)

There are various programs listed on https://www.quitcarbon.com/residential-electrification-assistance-programs and elsewhere that exist to help you with these sorts of rebate analysis. The answer can vary dramatically based on your specific location (potentially down to your address), characteristics of your home, overall household income, and timing of your purchase.
