The Induction Oven And Air Fryer Combo From Lowe's That Buyers Can't Stop Raving About

If you're looking to change things up in your kitchen, one of the best ways you can improve the experience and aesthetic when remodeling is to replace old appliances. Lowe's has an induction oven and air fryer combo that buyers are raving about, and while it's relatively pricey, it may also completely upgrade your cooking routine. Say hello to Café's 30-Inch 5-Burner Induction Air Fry Convection Slide-In Double Oven Range, a popular model currently available for $4,679. Made by GE, the most reliable oven brand, this induction double-oven unit from Café has a 4.6 rating out of 5 stars with 1,467 reviews. Over 90% of buyers recommend this product to others, so you can feel confident that you are making a sound investment for your kitchen.

This feature-rich range is part of the Customizable Professional Collection by Café that provides the option of pairing stove finishes of stainless steel, matte black, and matte white (an appliance color that never goes out of style) with a choice of six knob and handle options that include brushed black, brushed brass, brushed bronze, brushed copper, flat black, and brushed stainless. This range is all about features and has plenty of them, including a no-preheat air fry feature that is Wi-Fi enabled and two separate ovens with a total cooking space of 6.7 cubic feet. The True Convection with Precise Air in the lower oven provides optimal heat circulation. The backlit glass touch control panel is undetectable when idle and clear and easy to see when prompted.

So, what do buyers think of this range? Overall, they love the speed at which the induction stovetop heats up and cools down and the even, consistent cooking it provides, adding the sleek looks elevate their kitchens. Despite a wide range of features and settings, one buyer noted, "The controls and overall configuration of how they are laid out makes it not only straightforward, but downright easy." They stated that the range is quicker and more efficient than their previous gas stove, which they liked, and that they can prepare food faster and use less energy.

Other buyers echo those sentiments, reporting the stove and oven heat quickly and the unit is well-insulated, holding the heat inside it to keep the home cool. Discussing the practicality of the double oven, one user stated, "The upper is so quick to heat and perfect for tray bakes and having a second oven will allow me to bake various things at different temps at the same time!" The air fry feature is an exciting add-on that often exceeds expectations. As one buyer explained, "Expected the air fryer function to be a weak point but we are experiencing results that are equal, if not better, than our old stand alone air fryer." Built-in smart features accessible via an app, such as oven controls and notifications, add another pleasant layer of safety and convenience. One reviewer raved, "Love that it alerts me on my Apple Watch when things are done, the app lets me see my time left to cook, when it's preheated, etc. Very cool." 

There are a few unhappy buyers that did not like the Café induction double range. In terms of function, one of the few common complaints was a low timer volume that was difficult to hear when it went off. One buyer didn't like the fact that they were limited to using cookware built for induction stoves or that the pan size needed to match the size of the element to work the best. A couple of buyers had issues with the range not working upon arrival and delays in getting the ranges replaced. Most of the 55 unhappy reviews seemed to be about mechanical issues that occurred upon receiving the stove. For their part, GE or Café Appliances responded to each case of unhappy buyers, regardless of the complaint, to ensure they were in touch with the proper departments and checked the status to make sure the issues were being resolved. 

Finding the right appliances for your kitchen is an important endeavor and one of the top upgrades to raise a home's value. Making sure you choose the right one makes a big difference in resale value of the home and even in your own happiness when using it. Based on the glowing reviews from the majority of the nearly 1,500 reviews that were left, you can feel very good about purchasing the Café 30-inch induction convection double-oven range for your kitchen.
