Not all of them...

A colleague of mine (who likes cooking with gas) recently had to set up a new kitchen and chose the Miele professional induction field, he is very happy. It features old-style mechanical controls for the power and behaves exactly as one would expect a cooking stove to behave:

Got AEG CCM66400BX (~850 USD at today rate) with mechanical controls, which was my primary requirement.

Starts at 1000 euro for 2 heaters. You buy a complet gas stove for that money including a oven.

Yes, Miele is always expensive and this is their professional line. On the up side, they are made to last. Their washing machines for at least 20 years, I would guess their stoves even longer, as there are no big moving parts.

Miele used to be that. I have a Miele stove and oven. The oven's humidifier killed the controller (I have the version where the stove controls are above the oven, I hate controls on the cooking surface) which was north of 400€. I used to be all-in on Miele, now it's giving me a pause. Proper engineering encases stuff in IP67 if it can't stand humidity. At Mieles price-point I'd expect everything being IP67 cased.
