Blake Wheeler, a self-proclaimed expert on all things for the home, discussed some of the top appliance trends for 2025 in a YouTube video for Boulevard Home.
He predicted that one in particular is "going to become more and more popular."
Blake was referring to the induction cooktop. He said he believes that induction cooking is one of the biggest home improvement trends.
He explained that although induction cooking has been around for a while, it is becoming more mainstream since prices for induction cooktops are going down. In addition, he believes induction cooking will gain popularity as people become more aware of its benefits. He pointed out that it is much more energy efficient than gas cooking — it is faster and allows for more control over the temperature.
Induction stoves use magnetism to directly heat your cookware, so although they require specific pots and pans that work with induction stovetops, they heat up much faster than traditional cooktops, saving time and energy consumption. Due to their energy efficiency, induction stoves are a cost-effective option over time.

Induction stoves are an easy and affordable way to avoid the dangers of gas stoves. Due to the Inflation Reduction Act, you may be able to receive up to $840 off the cost of an induction range, greatly reducing the initial investment. If that incentive motivates you to take the plunge and purchase an induction stove, it is a good idea to take advantage of it sooner rather than later.
