Best Induction Cooktop Under $2000
Compared to an electric or gas cooktop, induction cooktops rely on a magnetic field to generate heat. This method is actually safer than traditional methods and is more energy efficient. For homeowners that enjoy induction cooking, look no further than our best induction cooktop for under $2000.
Fulgor Milano® 700 Series 30" Stainless Steel Induction Cooktop
➤ What Makes It the Best: Safe Child Lock System and Pot Detection System
With the Fulgor Milano 700 Series 30” induction cooktop, only the precise amount of energy and heat is delivered to the bottom of the pot. As you can see from the image, there is an extra-large zone in addition to three other cooking zones in varying diameters. To control each zone, there is a convenient slide touch control located at the bottom of the cooktop. The elegant ceramic glass service brings class to any kitchen space!
Pros
✅ Child Lock System. There is a child lock system that can be turned on to prevent children from accidentally turning on the cooktop.
✅ Pot Detection System. With the Pot Detection System, the cooktop will not start unless a pan or pot is sitting on the burner.
✅ Energy-Efficiency. Induction cooktops are known to be more energy-saving than gas and electric cooktops.
Cons
❌ Price. Induction cooktops are a more innovative style of cooktop, so they tend to be more expensive than gas and electric cooktops.
❌ Can Be Noisy. Induction cooktops are also known to sometimes make noise when in use.
Best Electric Cooktop Under $2000
Electric cooktops are extremely popular and found in many homes across the United States. They tend to be the most affordable cooktops, and their heating elements glow in use, offering visual clues similar to cooking with gas. While they aren’t the most efficient and take the longest to cook with, electric cooktops are perfect for casual cooks who don’t need the most performance or features. Below is the best electric cooktop for under $2000 from Thermador.
Thermador® Masterpiece® Series 30" Black Electric Cooktop
➤ What Makes It the Best: Temperature sensors for perfectly heated pots and pans.
Like the Fulgor Milano cooktop, this Thermador cooktop also features a touch control panel for selecting power levels. In addition, there is a temperature sensor that monitors the temperature of the pot or pan to keep it stable. The large cooking zone, also known as the Triple Zone Center, lets chefs pick from three different burner diameters to fit almost any size pot or pan.
Pros
✅ CookSmart®. The temperature sensor works along 4 preset frying levels so that the right amount of heat is distributed.
✅ Illuminated Touch Control Panel. The touch control panel makes it easy to select power levels and clean the cooktop as a whole.
Cons
❌ Takes Longer to Heat Up. Electric cooktops can take a bit longer to heat up than other cooktops.
Best Gas Cooktops Under $2000
Gas cooktops are also quite popular and found in many homes as they provide a non-electric way to cook food. With a simple turn of a knob, a hot flame is produced. Unlike induction and electric cooktops, gas cooktops provide heat immediately. The biggest drawback, however, is that there has to be an existing gas supply line in the kitchen for a gas cooktop to work. Additionally, many experts are suggesting gas cooktops and other gas-powered appliances can be harmful to the health, not to mention a fire hazard.
With that said, gas cooktops are best for the experienced home cook who feels comfortable managing a live flame. The reward is fast, precise, and flexible heat output that many consider the superior choice. The following three picks are all great options if you’re a gas fan.
Bosch 800 Series 36" Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop
➤ What Makes It the Best: Ultra-powerful 19,000-BTU power burner!
For a high-quality gas cooktop, the Bosch 800 Series 36” gas cooktop offers a 19,000-BTU power burner for boiling, stir-frying, and searing, plus an OptiSim® Burner for precisely controlling sauces and melted chocolate. Rather than dealing with multiple burner grates, this cooktop design includes a one-piece full grate, making cleanup a breeze. Another feature that makes the Bosch one of the best gas cooktops is its ability to re-ignite automatically if a flame goes out.
Pros
✅ 19,000 BTU Burner. Sear, stir-fry, or boil foods quickly with the powerful 19,000-BTU burner.
✅ OptiSim® Burner. The OptiSim Burner is perfect for melting chocolate and simmering sauces without burning.
✅ Automatic Electronic Re-Ignition. No worries if the flame goes out on a burner. With Automatic Electronic Re-Ignition, the burner will reignite on its own.
Cons
❌ Not as Easy to Clean. Although the one-piece full grate comes off, which does make cleaning easier, chefs still must clean around each burner knob which can be a hassle.
Fisher & Paykel Series 7 36" Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop
➤ What Makes It the Best: Addition of a Wok burner and included stand
The Fisher & Paykel gas cooktop has an elegant design and modern burner knobs. Like the Bosch, there is an Automatic Re-Ignition System for relighting a flame if it goes out. What makes this gas cooktop unique is the addition of the wok burner (with a stand) in the center of the cooktop. Chefs can cook on five different burners ranging from 3400 BTUs to 19,000 BTUs.
Pros
✅ Auto Re-Ignition System. Flame out? Chefs don’t need to worry about relighting the flame as the cooktop will automatically do so when necessary, and at the original flame setting!
✅ Wok Burner. The center of the cooktop features a wok burner (and comes with a wok stand) which makes this gas cooktop convenient and unique.
✅ Modern Design. This cooktop boasts a modern and innovative design, instantly upgrading any kitchen it sits in.
Cons
❌ Unsealed Burners: The lack of sealed burners on this model might mean cleanup is a little more difficult.

How We Chose the 5 Best Cooktops Under $2000
There are a few features we looked for when choosing the top five best cooktops under $2000. We looked for these specific features because they provide convenience to the home in addition to making it safe for homes with young children.
BTUs
On gas cooktops, the higher the BTUs (British Thermal Units), the more heat and power a burner will give off. This is important for homeowners and chefs that want high power for searing, boiling, and stir-frying.
Wi-Fi Capabilities
Many appliances these days are being built with the ability to connect to Wi-Fi, so naturally, we had to look at cooktops that are built with Wi-Fi capabilities. Smart cooktops are innovative and make cooking even more convenient for homeowners and chefs.
Auto Reignite
The ability to automatically reignite if a flame goes out was a top consideration when we were putting together our list of the best cooktops under $2000. Automatic Reignition Systems are convenient and let homeowners spend more time on other tasks while their food cooks rather than keeping an eye on the flame.
Safety
Safety was also considered as we put together our list of the best cooktops. As we mentioned above, some cooktops, like the Fulgor Milano Induction Cooktop feature a Child Lock System. This is a valuable feature for homeowners with children.
Design
It is impossible to not consider the style and design of a cooktop when you are looking for the best for under $2000. We took this into consideration as we wanted the best cooktops to have a look that would upgrade any kitchen space immediately.
Ease of Cleaning
We did consider how easy it would be to clean each cooktop. With differing designs, some cooktops stood out in this category for how easy it seems to wipe them down. For others, cleaning seems like it may be more of a hassle as homeowners clean around knobs and dips in the cooktop.
Currently, the national average for a cooktop is anywhere between $320 and $4,030. That means that cooktops $2,000 and under fall within the mid-end price point and offer better features, designs, and performance than models that are more affordable. However, there’s no price for having the best team on your side during your kitchen remodel, so if you’re looking for a southeast Florida appliance to help upgrade your cooking experience for under $2,000, Fuse Specialty Appliances is your destination.
