Induction stoves are recommended by experts for their environmental benefits, but one Redditor wanted to hear firsthand experiences from home cooks who made the switch from gas to induction.
In a post on the r/inductioncooking subreddit, the Redditor said their household was considering getting an induction stove. Before making a decision, the Redditor wanted to hear thoughts from others about the changes that come with induction stoves compared to gas, including air quality.
"Given what you know, would you do it again?" the Redditor asked.
The post received an overwhelming response with dozens of induction users commenting about their positive experiences.

In some states, homeowners can get up to $840 off the cost of an induction range with government incentives. If you're a renter or working with a budget, plug-in induction burners are great, affordable options, too. You can find relatively inexpensive models that start at $50.
