Not that consumer reports is always accurate but just a heads up that this range received the lowest rating in it's category.

Thanks to OP for posting the deal though!

Based on reviews I'm going to assume this is in the "crappy induction" tier of ranges, where they skimp on the driver - using one that cannot vary the pulse width modulation of the burner low enough to simmer - so they just cycle it on and off.

You can see videos of people with pots of water where the thing boils for half a second, and stops, and then boils again, and stops

Not surprising.

Gonna go off on a tangent atop my soapbox and complain a bit: retailers in the west try really damn hard to capitalize on the ignorance of the masses. I know this isn't a phenomenon unique to the west, but as someone who immigrated to the US from China, there's a pretty stark difference in how customers are treated in the west compared to China/Japan. Over in east Asia, induction ranges, even small standalone ones less than $50 (which are by far the most common), have continuous heating at low outputs of around 120W. This is one of the key indicators for whether an induction stove is quality, yet there is practically no mention of this anywhere for induction ranges sold in the US, because consumers don't know the difference, and the manufacturers don't want to make known a key feature that their induction ranges don't have. In China, Medea is currently selling a standalone induction stove (MC-E22B60) for 189 CNY, or $26.32 shipped; I have used an older model of it and it worked amazingly well, could keep the pot at a low constant simmer without cycling on and off. Granted, it doesn't have the biggest magnet (cooking surface), but it delivered very controlled heat, and was dirt cheap.

Consumers need to be more educated, because the manufacturers aren't going to do it unless it's an excuse to upcharge. Hell, there isn't even a unified term in English for this "non-pulsing" feature. They do in Chinese, btw; it's 恒匀火.

It's so frustrating seeing consumers in the west falling behind compared to Chinese ones when it comes to their standards for certain products. Induction is a big one for me because I want to make the switch, but it seems that most western induction ranges (induction + oven) lack this specific feature and don't mention it at all. In a reddit thread from two months ago, had a top comment that stated "Most induction, especially plug-in or inexpensive options, will pulse at around 50% or less power." As if that's just the way things are. But that's not the case, and it's so frustrating to see that mentality of accepting mediocrity. China is absolutely flooded with quality induction stoves for dirt cheap, yet people in the west still think that pulsing is normal when it should be completely unacceptable when dropping $1k or more on the thing. Yeah, it's 4 different magnets + the oven, but the MSRP is also over $2k. People should expect - and get - more. No pulsing should be the bare minimum and advertised front-and-center for all induction ranges worth considering.

Oh shoot thanks for the heads up, maybe I should cancel. I just got this because I thought it'd be more reliable than the Samsung and LG posted here, appears perhaps not

I thought Frigidaire gets pretty bad ratings all around quoting relatability concerns.
