Great Purchase...

Love everything about this cooktop...have it next to my stove and hardly ever use my stove at all..Just bring a small magnet with you to test magnetic bottom of cookware for use...

Love it, it's better than I imagined!

A Christmas present we opened 4 days ago but so far: -Very attractive design -Arrived quickly and in good condition (I ordered it a few weeks before but opened on Xmas) -Gets to heat level/temperature very, very quickly (water boils about 2x faster) -The 1800 watts allows it to create a lot of heat on "high" -plenty to get a good sear. -Responds very quickly when you change heat level/temperature -even more control than our Thermador gas stove. (example: made eggs over-easy, lowered temp during cooking so wouldn't overcook -instant response -eggs were perfect) -Holds temperature very well (a simmer for example) -Doesn't add heat to the room when you're cooking. This is probably my favorite feature. You don't feel the heat as you're standing in front of it as you're cooking. Unlike every gas & electric stove I've used, there's no wasted heat. One thing we've cooked on it was a big pot of stew; with the lid on you couldn't feel the heat (the pot gets hot of course but you don't). -Clean up is easy. Because it's a glass top any spills wipe-up easily. -It's light so easy to move around, store -the only negative is that it makes a little noise but less than our built-in microwave, The microwave cabinet absorbs some of the noise and even so the induction cooktop is quieter. -This isn't a negative but it takes a little getting used to because it's so responsive. I think the next kitchen will have a full induction cooktop instead of gas.

Fantastic to cook with, boils water very quickly

This unit was purchased to replace a failed induction cooktop from another manufacturer (W*ring Pro - actually I went through two units in just 13 months!). I couldn't be happier with the decision to buy the Fagor. The smooth top is easy to clean and the touch controls work very well (sometimes too well, but no complaint). The unit has 7 power levels, all of which work as described. My only "quibble" is with the timer - once it's set it doesn't show on the display and if you go back into the timer function it clears the previously set timer, it's definitely not a deal breaker for me.

what a great experience

Wow! I just cooked up some chicken the way I've dreamed of making it: small bite size pieces fried/steamed/ and crustied in a mix of oils: I used coconut, sesame and olive; and then a little bit of honey; and the juice of one lime.... This mixture never would fly in my electric fry pan - because of the many different heat levels I use. I put the chicken in the oils and cook until it turns white and I put the lid on the pan so it steams through. Then I add the honey and lime and throw in the lime skins for extra flavor, but then I turn up the heat really high to brown it; and then, here's the trick: I turn the heat off so it doesn't burn. With the way induction heating goes, its really instant. Press the button and the heat goes up and down that quickly and it doesn't stay on the burner, just in the pan the food its being cooked in. No more chopping and preparing while the meal is cooking--this is a quick way of cooking and everything needs to be ready to go, go, go! I thought the cooktop would be intimidating. But I just turn it on, go to power and click the plus and minus thing. I haven't had a need to use the timer yet. I noticed when I click -- actually its just a very light touch -- like on a smart phone -- I noticed the temperature scrolled through the various settings from warm to stir fry. It cooks quick or slow, depending on what number you put it on. This morning I fried eggs. I like the centers firm and no wiggly white stuff. I put them on a high heat to get them going, and a lower heat to cook it the way I like... and they were perfect. This is the best cooking investment I have made. I'm going to get a ''magnetic'' saucepan and possibly retired the microwave, if I find a sauce pan with a pour spout. With all the fuss going on today about microwave food, I think its about time.

Excellent induction cooktop

I am very pleased with this portable induction cooktop and I have used it almost everyday. It is very easy to use and performs very good. It is a beautiful design with a quality glass top that is very easy to clean. My cookware, regardless of the size heats evenly from side to side with no hotspots. This is a good product by a reputable company. I recommend this induction cooktop very highly.

Very good product

Works very well and fast. Welcome addition to cooking outside alongside the grill. Was recommended by a friend who was very happy with his unit.

pretty cool.

pretty cool... works great!!! heats up fast. I did not like the fact that u have to use magnetic base pots.

Fast and Hot

Needed a cooking surface for soul crushing work. Cooktop is fast and efficient when paired with the appropriate cooking instruments. Can finally eat a nice steak without having to eat with incompetent co-workers or morbidly obese boss.

Converted to induction

I am absolutely hooked on induction. I was a die hard gas stove fan until I tried this one burner for my small apartment. We are now moving to a larger place with a full kitchen and let me tell you, I am changing every stove I have over to induction! The only frustration I had with this model was the child lock doesn't want to come off once pressed. But it's as simple as unplugging it and it's off.
