If you’re going to install an appliance like that and use it yourself for 10-20 years, it might be worth it to YOU but don’t count on recovering any portion of its purchase price in a $350K (avg) neighborhood. You don’t need an ultra-expensive range to prepare your lunch to take to work. You simply microwave the lunch at work, if needed, as I did every day for 25+ years.
