Dozens of Airbnb hosts shared their reviews after a fellow host expressed concerns about installing an induction stove in a rental unit.
In a post on the r/airbnb_hosts subreddit, one host asked others if they would recommend having an induction stove in rentals. The Redditor's major concern was about whether the stove was user-friendly for guests.
"I think it probably requires a bit of a learning curve, and short term guests may not want to deal with it," the Redditor wrote.
Several other Airbnb hosts responded with their own experiences involving guests and induction stoves. Many of them had no trouble at all.

"My guests have loved mine," one commenter responded. "It is easy to operate and other than providing the right pots and pans, there is no real learning curve."
Another commenter pointed out that gas stoves can cause more trouble than induction due to user error.
"I don't have gas at any of my ski condos, but I would be really worried with having a gas stove and the kinds of dumb things guests sometimes do," the Reddit user wrote.

In comparison to gas, induction stoves are also easier to clean because of their smooth surfaces — a fact that may have "sold" the Reddit user on installing induction stoves in rental units after all.
