I wanna do a minor kitchen remodel (mostly just shuffling appliances and cabinets) which seemed like a good opportunity to finally upgrade to induction.

Ideally I’m looking for a slide-in range, but I’m open to doing cooktop and oven separately given a reasonable way to make that fit in the footprint of a slide-in.

Obviously normal BIFL stuff. I don’t care about or want Smart Connectivity of any kind; knobs are great, the fewer touchpads the better, screens are off-putting; the fewer electronic components, the better; I don’t care about aesthetics at all, I like the simple, easy to clean commercial style.

Bridge elements would be nice, but not that important. Convection is preferred, a split oven would be nice, I don’t really need the storage drawer at the bottom.

    Sure, you work with the space you have. I meant only that it’ll affect recommendations.

    Also, one suggestion: build for the house, not your current situation. If the house has room for a family, install something that’ll work for a family in case you ever sell. Buyers will be looking at that.

      It’s a pretty small house, about 1000 sqft.

      I mean I’d love a nice 48" unit, but I can’t imagine many options in my budget

        Been there. It sounds as if you’re right-sizing it.

        The downside of a bigger cooktop is more surface area to clean. I’m only looking at 48" because I’m looking to swap in, and that’s the size that’s already there. You’re redoing your counters, too?

            We redid the kitchen in our second house, which was about the same size, and sounds like about the same layout. The range was wedged up hard against the fridge, with maybe 4 or 6" of counter between them. It sucked.

            We moved everything, and made the kitchen floorspace a little smaller to add counter and cabinet space, and to move the fridge. The extra counter and cabinets were the best thing we did, in retrospect, but moving the fridge was huge. We didn’t put in a larger range, but just the extra elbow room at the range changed the whole feel of working in the kitchen.
