Product Database — Electric Cooktops

Electric cooktops, ranked by certified annual energy use

By Erin Rose · Updated

Every cooktop here carries ENERGY STAR's certified annual energy use (kWh/yr) and a cooking-top technology flag (induction / radiant / coil) — the biggest performance difference between models. Electric and induction only — ENERGY STAR has no efficiency certification program for gas cooktops, so we have no certified gas data and no gas-cooktop pages.

Specs are sourced from ENERGY STAR (there is no DOE CCMS certification category for cooking appliances). Annual running cost is computed by us from kWh/yr and EIA electricity prices — see methodology. 84 cooktops in the corpus don't yet meet our thin-content floor for a standalone page and are searchable in the product database only.
