Not Working ProperlyBarbaraWe bought this range in the summer of 2022, but didn’t start using it until Dec. of that year, when our kitchen renovation was completed. It worked fine until about three weeks ago. Now when I’m using the oven, every time I open the door to check what I’m cooking, when I close it again, the oven turns off and I get an “error” message. Also the light no longer goes on when the door is open, as it’s supposed to. I hope Ikea will honor the warranty and fix this.i wish I could give it 2.5 stars, because the induction stovetop works fine.2
It Showed Promise but didn't DeliverJoanneThe price was fabulous. I wanted an induction cooktop and the one on this unit works very well. I knew there was an issue with the fact that the knobs are located in the back, but I was willing to live with that at this price point. Unfortunately the oven is subpar. When it was under warranty I had the service person out here several times who kept insisting that it was working properly. It's not. The temperature in the oven fluctuates as much as 50°. Often making it difficult to utilize the baking function properly and resulting in a lot of quick thinking to enable whatever I'm cooking to come out properly.
I am way out of warranty, and don't understand if I have any options, besides just replacing it after 3 years, as this unit just does not work properly.2
Super good rangeSusanI really love my new stove. It takes less than 4 minutes for a large pot of water to boil. The convection oven cooks quickly and evenly. The ONLY down side is that you must position the pot or pan on the induction burner “just so”, for it to turn on. It just takes a little patience.4
This does not come with a cord kit. JuliePrepare ahead if you purchase this online because there is NOTHING that says you will need to purchase a cord kit to be able to use this once it is delivered. NOTHING. SUPER HELPFUL! 😡 And customer service was useless. I didn’t know if it was left out or needed to be purchased separately. I’m so irritated with IKEA right now. 1
Great Performance with Some SurprisesSeanThe induction cooktop boils a quart of water in about 90 seconds -- much, much faster than the gas cooktop it replaced. The oven and cooktop have both performed really well in the first week of use.
The product description states, "stainless steel" and the product images only show the front profile. I was surprised that the sides are black rather than stainless. One side of my range abuts a cabinet while the other side is exposed, so a better description of this range would have been appreciated.
The storage drawer was formed with the protective film still adhered to the sheet metal and was difficult to remove. Some of the edges were sharp and I cut myself while removing the protective film from the drawer. I carefully filed the edges and now they’re fine, but those sharp edges absolutely should have been softened during manufacturing.
Overall this range is a good value, but with a few disappointments discovered during installation.4
Just what I've always wanted.MarciaAfter shopping around for a stove with induction cooktop and convection oven, I found the Tvarsaker. It has everything I wanted plus easy to use touch controls. Looks great, easy to clean. I'm totally spoiled now.5
Great electric rangeSolonOur old stove had recently died suddenly and we decided to try this Ikea one as a replacement. Very happy we did. Price was right. Warranty is much longer than many popular name brands. Induction cooktop is amazing! We did have to replace our (also old) pans as they failed the magnet test, but the new set we got works great. Very pleased overall.5
JUST PERFECT!!!BeaI love my induction range more than anything!! He cooks and bakes everything very quickly and perfectly and at a very good price!!
The delivery was also quick and good!
I would buy the Tvärsäker again and again!!5
Induction stoveElaineThe storage drawer is very difficult to open, I have stopped using it. The heating elements are fine, oven is fine.3
DisappointingAntonellaI was excited to get an induction range because a chef friend of mine said they were as good as gas! I found the oven to be perfectly adequate but the cooktop was really lame. First of all if you measure the outline of the large "burner" is measures around 11.5" when in reality the cooking element is closer to 6". If you're cooking eggs the middle cooks quickly and the edges will be raw. Second, the cooking element seems to be C shaped so you have to keep rotating the pan to keep the cold spot in check. The medium burners have such small cooking elements they're not good for much and the small one is completely useless. Although they boil water VERY quickly the intense heat comes at a price. The middle of the pan gets unbelievably hot and the edges stay relatively cool so they can warp even expensive cookware and now I have 2 cast iron pans that have high spots so they spin on the cooktop surface. I'll give the range 2 stars because I like the oven and the timer.2
Great stove! But not working with light weighted pan.JuliaI enjoy cooking on this induction stove and bake very quickly in the oven. But I find out that my favourite crepes pan doesn't heat up and the control panel just turns off when I put this light weight pan on the stove. So I used a different, heavier pan and it works fine start to heat the pan, but when you make crepes you have to take pan off from the stove to put in the crepes mix. And the stove will automatically turns off. Very dissapointed about this. Info about lightweight pan - Cuisinart 623-24 Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 10-Inch Crepe Pan. Please advise what should I do about that. Thanks5
Great RangeAntonellaIve really been pleased with this range. Its so much nicer than the one I was using the being able to heat the cookware so evenly is great.5
Go InductionAndrewI love my switch to induction from gas. Getting a pan (especially cast iron) up to temp is very fast. Temp control is precise.
Oven is great. Nice racks.
The drawer is a bit tight, oh well.
My one complaint on this particular range is the lip around the cook top is too shallow to contain the slightest boil overs from spilling, dripping over the front to the floor. Even the steam from a roast in the oven can accumulate and spill. Nevertheless, induction is the way to go. Saves energy and cooks as well as gas. Speed to boil is incredible.4

Finally - an induction cooktop version!MichalGreat to see an induction cooktop version as opposed to a regular electric or gas cooktop. WIll still want to see how good is the oven (heat insulation). I wish there was a better selection of separate induction cooktops and electric ovens (and also smaller!) like in some European Ikea markets.5
A steal for induction-topJamieI was looking to upgrade from gas to induction to cut down on particulates in the kitchen and keep my kiddos' fingers safe. This unit delivered amazingly well - alternatives we considered were nearly twice the cost. The only bad thing I will note about this unit is that the kitchen timer no longer beeps if you disable the control sounds - easily remedied by simply using an external timer (voice assistant, or a $4 one you can get in the Marketplace, or a fancier multi-timer magnetic cadillac). Actual functionality of the cooking surfaces is great. Fast, consistent power in the induction top, and the oven works well - I like that it doesn't have an exposed electric resistance coil at the bottom of the oven. I would buy this unit again in a heartbeat.5
It has been a year and I still love it.HeatherI have really enjoyed using this range. I love the induction source of heat. The range is hot from having a hot pot on it, but the stove top isn't red hot like a typical range. I can easily wipe up spills before they are cooked on. I use the recommended glasstop polish, and I never have trouble wiping up spills. The convection oven cooks nicely as well. One of my favorite features is the power button. A can of veges heats up very quickly. It also boils water very quickly. I had to adjust to how quickly the water boiled. I was used to waiting longer. I felt confident buying and trying this induction range with IKEA's return policy. Note you must have cookware that works with the magnetic induction process.5
Works great!RossWorks great and looks good too. Very easy to install. "Plug and play" basically.5

You have to really push hard some times.5
