Best Induction Ranges Ranked: Wolf, SKS, Thermador & More
In this video, we walk through a detailed comparison of today’s professional induction ranges, covering sizes from 30 to 48 inches. We evaluate each range based on cooking performance, usability, controls, design, and overall value to help you understand the key differences between brands.
Induction ranges vary widely in power output, oven features, guided cooking, steam assist, and control interfaces. Each brand takes a different approach to efficiency, precision, and usability, including Wolf, Fisher & Paykel, Thermador, SKS, AGA, JennAir, Mila, and Monogram.
We discuss the strengths and trade-offs of each brand:
Wolf: Offers advanced controls, gourmet cooking guidance, and Vertaflow convection, but requires a high-power 100-amp setup for larger 48-inch models.
Fisher & Paykel: Provides versatile cooking modes and strong induction performance at a lower price point than Wolf, though with fewer advanced features.
Thermador: Features reliable induction cooktops and bridged elements, but single convection ovens and fewer cooking modes limit flexibility.
SKS: Delivers high wattage elements, steam assist, and pan detection, making it a standout in the 36-inch range.
AGA / JennAir / Mila / Monogram: Each offers unique features like steam assist, intuitive controls, and customizable displays, with differences in oven depth, bridging, and available sizes.
Certain ranges excel in speed, precision, or cooking guidance, while others provide strong value, ease of use, or service support. Installation requirements, electrical needs, and long-term service availability are also important considerations for homeowners and designers when selecting a professional induction range.

I would love to see some discussion about the noise levels of the fans in the ovens. We returned a Viking induction range because the fan was too noisy for us and went with a Miele instead, which has been outstanding. I would like to see a noise level comparison of all the new 48” induction ranges.
Bluestar?
Here it is boys… The one we’ve been waiting for!!!
I’ve had an induction range for a couple years now, and it’s a huge time saver when you’re cooking anything in pans… I do a lot of water bath canning & not having to wait for 20-30 min for the water to boil in a really large pot has been SO nice!!! And if something boils over, it doesn’t scorch the glass top, either. 🏆
I live in Nashville and truly appreciate your videos!
Induction is a joke and nothing more than a trend.
Steve, there is no way in Hell I am going past a max burner of 3700 watt. I am healthy and I don't have a pacemaker or an implant affected by EMF. However, you never know if someday I may need one. 7000 watts are considered well within the safety range and the field quickly disipates within a few centemeters especially if the pan covers the entire burner. As for me I am going to buy a Meile. If that is as effective as a 25000 BTU burner to me it's nuts to buy a stronger burner. So for me the Meile 36 inch with bridgeable burners is the way to go. Now, both induction burners are considered very safe period, and well within the safety range for most people. But these brands are high quality and could last 20 years or more with proper care. Sometimes enough is enough and manufacturers are just playing numbers games. To bad I am in NYS or I would be buying from you guys.
SKS for me! I was gonna go Miele, but I just love all the features and reliability of SKS. Plus, (and EVERYTHING breaks at some point) easier to fix if needed. I’m getting the 48in range with gas, induction and sous vide
Bluestar?
Great video! Non pro ranges next please!
Thanks for your honest reviews.
Why did you remove JennAir from your store?
