Induction is the only way to go in 2022. I really want the Falcon Elise 90 with induction cooktop, but it is only available with a gas cooktop in Australia. The induction version is available in New Zealand and as we share an agreed electrical standard I would have thought importing it into Australia would be no problem. I rang the people @Falcon:andi-coAustralia to enquire why the induction model wasn't available here, only to speak to a very rude woman who tried to tell me that it couldn't be imported into Australia because it would have to go through a long approval process (which is clearly BS - if it meets the NZ standard, it by default meets the Australian standard). When I said that it was available in NZ she kindly reminded me that NZ is a different country (really? who'd'a thunk it?). I mentioned that considering climate change I was wanting to move away from gas and was trying to future-proof my investment she basically dismissed my argument with "gas will be around for a long time yet". Yes, it will, and I don't want to contribute to the emissions. She also said that "induction is a niche market" which is hilarious because the Elise at AUD 15K+ is the very definition of a niche appliance. Ironically, they do import the Falcon Classic with an induction top and many others in the more contemporary ranges. Unfortunately, I think the Classic is really ugly and only comes in a limited range of uninspiring colours. Every person I know is talking about replacing their gas ranges with induction in the near future. It's a blind company who can't see the writing on the wall.
FANTASTICA AMIN AMORE AMORE.
Great oven, 3k. Our hob stopped working after 3years. No one available to fix it. Don’t buy it.
