Great deal on this - I own the SÄRKLASSIG 30 inch and love it. Mine is the lower of the two 30 inch models, and this deal makes the SÄRDRAG the cheaper of the two.
Regarding service - handled by Electrolux/Frigidaire. On mine, one of the burners never worked correctly and so I reached out to get it fixed. For whatever reason, the repair techs couldn't figure out the part numbers. I called Ikea and their customer service was great, they exchanged the entire cooktop instead of forcing me to go through the warranty process. It helps that I have an Ikea in the area and was able to take the old one in, but all said I was really happy with the customer service.
We too have a somewhat older IKEA model, and LOVE it! It is as responsive as gas but without the combustion fumes, boils water extremely quickly, and has completely eliminated the need for a rice cooker since we can set it to simmer without scorching. We mostly use IKEA's induction cookware (also a terrific good buy), supplemented with some Calphalon pieces from Marshalls. Highly recommended!
I'd love to buy the 2-burner one on the Euro site, but I guess they don't sell it. Not enough small apartments in the US? They exist on Amazon, but it seems they don't seem to have the UL or CE certification, which gives me pause. Annoying. It looks like it can run on 220V/60Hz, so maybe the answer is to simply import one...

Also, I recall seeing a lot of induction cooktops in IKEA's as-is section, for half price. Probably worth checking if you're interested. Only like a ten day warranty, though, I think-- they're not joking about "as-is".
This is an excellent deal on the Sardrag. I went to IKEA over the weekend for this sale. Long story short, I ended up getting the lower-end Sarklassig 30" cooktop instead since the Sardrag was out of stock. IKEA is 2 hours from me so I decided to go for it. The 2 are nearly identical. It looks like the Sardrag has a slightly different burner setup: 10", 7" x2, 6" vs
10", 7", 6" x2 on mine.
So far I really like it! I installed it myself and it isn't hard at all if you're replacing an electric cooktop and decently handy. I use all cast iron and my pans heat unbelievably fast. Prepare to change your cooking workflow if you're coming from radiant. I used to chop ingredients while my cast iron preheated but now it takes 90 seconds or less to get to temp.
My only complaints so far are that the controls are a touch-slider only which can be a little tricky to adjust. There is a button to use power boil but no +/-. I'm starting to get used to it and I am happy to not have dials that are hard to clean around. It's also a bit noisy when using a thin pan (when I use my coffee kettle to boil water on high it is quite loud!). Also, I had read about a common issue where the induction plates come out of place. I opened up my unit and one was slightly out of place and not on it's guide. Took no time to fix and put back together but I'm glad I did it before installing! Here's a link to the video I used: https://youtu.be/XK1x3dElBYA
Hope this is helpful to others who make the jump, I have 0 regrets so far coming from a radiant cooktop!
How much more electric bill do I need to expect with something like this?
Coming from gas stove to electric radiant and I noticed more electric bill and I'm thinking its got to be radiant stove
We have an electric stove top and was looking into conductive cooking, but the EMF emissions are a major turn-off for me. If it weren't for that I think it'd be perfect. I don't like an open flame but also don't like how slow electric reacts, both of which induction seems to solve. If it just didn't come with the EMF problem...

Do you also wear a tinfoil hat? Cellphone is probably not something you own, either, if you're concerned about various kinds of radiation.

You need to educate yourself more about the risks of emf.

Comparing the two doesn't make sense. There's a several magnitudes difference, though maybe the distance equalizes the risk again. Anyway, I didn't expect any different reaction here, was just voicing my opinion. Cooking with gas also produces emissions (though not in electro-magnetic form) and most don't care either. But that's also why I don't cook with gas. At any rate, I also don't own a home near or underneath power lines for a reason.

Homes underneath power lines sell easily. Educated people buy them.

In Europe they cost 249

And are you saying Overstock has an IKEA/Frigidaire cooktop for $479?

This is I am guessing what they are talking about.
