KitchenAid Induction Hobs

"Produce! Produce!
Were it but the pitifullest infintesimal fraction
of a product, produce it in God's name!
'Tis the utmost thou hast in thee: out with it, then."
—Thomas Carlyle

General KitchenAid Information

KitchenAid is a part of the Whirlpool group, but whether it and Whirlpool have much in common across their induction lines is unclear—they certainly all have different element layouts, if nothing else. Though Whirlpool is now the #2 worldwide appliance giant, behind only Electrolux, it has—even across its bajillions of brand names—only a very few induction units out to market—so far, anyway (whereas Electrolux, by contrast, has a great many).

KitchenAid has a pair of units available in the U.K., and has recently also entered the North American market with a different pair, a 30- and a 36-inch unit. In America, that is pattern that is becoming nearly standard: one unit each at the two countertop-width sizes normally found in U.S. kitchens; that is unlike the European fashion, in which companies offer numerous variations, with differing physical arrangements of elements and differing distributions of total-unit power among those elements.

KitchenAid Induction-Unit Data

As always in these listings, we give these standard general—

Important notes on these data:

We have spent a lot of time hunting these data--often in several places for each individual unit--but we cannot and do not guarantee any datum to be correct (indeed, we often found conflicting data at different sources). Caveat emptor!
For those units we offer for sale, the prices shown are never over a day old. For other items, the prices shown are the lowest we found with moderate but not fanatic searching; moreover, they are not updated very often and are only intended as a rough guide to comparative unit values in cost/power terms.
Most "Features" are not terribly important, and are nearly standard among roughly similar units, regardless of brand name. If some "feature"--shown or omitted--is especially important to you, check on it, because we did not take great pains over the "Features" data.
Dimensions given here are, as the makers themselves warn, only to be used as guidelines in planning--never do anything (such as cutting a countertop) till you have your actual unit to hand.
A very important unit datum is the "MaxPower" value. Many units show individual-element powers that add up to impressive totals that the unit cannot really supply. That is not a defect or some form of cheating: it is "power sharing", a clever and useful feature; but, unless the maker is unusually open about data, one can easily be misled into believeing that the unit as a whole is more powerful than it is. Your dollars are buying cooking power, and you need to be well aware of just what you are paying for in actual cost/power terms for the unit as a whole.
Similar to power sharing (though less flexible) is the "power boost" feature many units have on some or all of their elements. (That feature allows a "boosted" element to temporarily, for some short period--rarely specified, but typically 10 minutes or so--run at some set level well over its nominal power, to help with tasks like getting large pots of water to boiling.) As with true power sharing, if one is not careful, one can get an incorrect impression of the true total power capability of the unit as a whole, which, as we just said, is basically what your dollars are buying.
