The ThermoMate 30 inch is a built-in induction cooktop with four burners, boost mode and a 7,200W total rating. It is hardwired to a 240V circuit and usually sells for about $380 to $450, far less than big-brand models.
What You Need Before You Buy
- A licensed electrician. Built-in cooktops are hardwired to a dedicated 240V circuit.
- The right breaker. Check the installation manual for the breaker size; a gas-to-induction swap usually needs a new circuit.
- A matching countertop cutout. Measure your opening against the cutout size in the manual.
- Magnetic cookware. If a fridge magnet sticks, it works.
What You Get for the Money
Each of the four burners has 9 power levels plus boost: two burners run at 2,000W (2,400W boost) and two at 1,600W (2,000W boost). Each burner has its own 1–99 minute timer, and there is a child lock. It is about 30.3 inches wide and only 2.3 inches deep below the glass, so it fits most standard 30-inch openings.
Installation, Climate and Shipping
It is a built-in cooktop, so it needs a cutout in your counter and a dedicated 240V circuit sized per the manual. Hire a licensed electrician, and check whether your area needs a permit.
Climate does not affect it: it works the same anywhere. The real check is your cookware. Induction only works with magnetic pans, so if a fridge magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of a pan, it will work.
On Amazon it is sold by ThermoMate Official and shipped by Amazon. It is large and heavy, so inspect the box for damage before you accept delivery. Checked on November 10, 2026.
