My 3rd induction cooktop... I like it

My first one was from a thrift store. Loved it but it was all plastic and melted, cracked and broke after a year. That one only had power level (which I prefer) and not temp settings. 2nd one was new in box at a garage sale and only had temp settings. After 18 months the plastic coating labels over the buttons cracked and fell apart, exposing holes down into the circuitry. Both of them seemed to be "tuned" for a pan they came with that I never got. They would start off really strong and I found myself needing to increase the power after a while or they would stop cooking. Like the unit "believed" it was heating up a pan and then didn't need to work so hard to maintain temp.... but in reality it got too hot and then too cold. THIS one seems different so far. It has power OR temp settings with minimal buttons. I mostly use power, it starts off at 5 out of 10 when you turn it on. I have not noticed any funny activity where the unit tries to guess and maintain a certain level of heat. The only thing that confused me was when you turn it off... it doesn't turn off. Instead it runs the cooling fan at high speed (usually a little louder than when it was cooking) and flashes HOT on the display. You cannot stop it unless you unplug it and any attempt to turn it off will only cause it to start it's cooling cycle over. Once I figured out it was supposed to be doing that, then it was OK. I knew just to let it go.... but I find it unnecessary to warn me it's hot and run the cooling fan on high. The cooktop surface does get warm but not like an electric stovetop. Maybe you could burn yourself on this thing after a long cook time but so far it's only gotten very warm. Not a big deal anyway.....

Provides even heat and easy to control the temperature.

This product was purchased to provide us the ability to cook outside. We use it especially to cook items that leave odors indoors. We like it but it’s rather noisy which we didn’t expect.

Good value for the money

We use this item for everyday cooking needs. We have had the cheaper brands and quite honestly we were happy with them. We are considering going Induction in the kitchen exclusively and decided to purchase a higher quality unit for comparison to the cheaper one's. This unit is very nice quality. Very sturdy and extremely nice to use. I will not hesitate to look at Duxtop again in the future. I feel this is well worth the money.

Truly Great Cooktop

This is my first Induction cooktop. I bought it mainly to follow a cooking method called One Pot One Shot (OPOS). Most of my cooking is done in this and my Instant Pot now. I rarely use the 4 burners electric range. This one is sufficient for all cooking needs. It has great timer feature, which you can set to heat only for a few minutes. Temperature range is handy - you can set to very low temp like I use for boiling milk in the morning rush so the milk boils without spilling over or keep it very high for faster cooking. It is easy to clean as well. I just need to get more vessels that are compatible with the induction cooktop (magnetic base pots and pans to cook). So far it is good. I can't comment on the durability of the product yet as I have been using only for a few days now.

Attractive

The temperature range is much better than my old NuWave.

Replaced my NuWave induction top with this and like it so much more...

I’ve been using a NuWave induction cook top for the last couple months. My landlord included it in the studio condo I’m renting with a very small kitchen. It was quite well-used when I got it since the former tenant had been using it. I like to have my own stuff and was thrilled to find the DuxTop. I found this DuxTop induction cook top when I was looking at magnetic stainless steel pans. (DuxTop makes induction cook pans too.) I like the design of the DuxTop cooktop better than the NuWave- it’s square and looks so much nicer than my NuWave. The DuxTop also works a lot better - I think it’s better quality than my old NuWave and has better controls. You can dial in either an exact temperature of 100°-460°F, or you can use the heating range (power level) of 1-10. I like to use the 1-10 range. My old NuWave only had 6 levels, so the DuxTop gives me just a little more control plus I can always switch to temperature for even move control since there are 20 different temperature settings (100, 120, 140...420, 440, 460 degrees Fahrenheit). I’m including some photos of the size difference between the DuxTop and the NewWave units and how it compares to counter space. I leave mine out all the time and when not being used, it provides a bit of extra counter space on top. The electric cord on the DuxTop is some much thicker (very heavy duty) when compared to the NewWave. There’s only one thing I don’t like... I hate bright lights at night and I can see the stovetop from my bed (studio condo). Even when the unit is turned off, the light is on, so I’m constantly having to unplug it to turn the light off. I very much dislike electric stove tops. I grew up using gas ranges and love the heat control (it’s instant). The induction cooktop is wonderful and in many ways better than gas. You can cook anything you would normally cook using a regular stove top. It boils water super fast which I like too - just turn it to level 10, cover and you have boiling water in just a couple minutes. This is the perfect unit for my little kitchen and my minimalist lifestyle. Love it!!!!

Reliable Cooking Surface

We have used induction for quite some time for our cooking. We are full time RV'ers, and recently moved into a new rig with a propane cooktop. When we have electricity we prefer to use the Duxtop 1800-Watt High End Full Glass Portable Touch Sensor Induction Cooktop Countertop. PRO: 1. Sturdy 2. The trim matches our kitchen in the Airstream 3. Reliable cooking temperatures 4. Even distribution of heat CON: not much to complain about I would purchase this again. We use it daily and prefer it to the Propane cooktop in our RV.

Saves money and simplifies cooking. . .

I have used a DuxTop induction "hob" every day for about six years. I make an omelet in the morning (veggies; cheese; eggs); and, in the evening, I make dinner on it. It is excellent for stir-fry in a wok; crispy-fried veggies in a skillet; split-pea & barley soup in a pressure cooker. . .The special advantage is the ability to control the heat and time PRECISELY for anything cooked on a stove-top. I have also used it to make marmalade in a large pot. . .again utilizing the precision control of heat and time. I have cooked on the DuxTop with carbon steel AND non-stick surfaced woks. Also, cast iron skillets; enameled iron dutch ovens; and, stainless steel skillets. Many "specialty" pots and pans have been found at thrift stores for literally "pennies on the dollar" prices (including lids for pans). And, the savings have not only been in terms of Time; but, also in "dollars and cents" for electricity. Most folks are NOT aware of how much "excess power" is wasted in cooking because you lack the precision "control" of temperature while cooking. For instance, I can cook an omelet (consisting of raw shredded zucchini; raw jalapeno peppers; eggs; cheddar cheese; and, small cubes of raw pork) in a skillet under a lid, for exactly 14 minutes at a temperature of exactly 220 degrees. And, EVERYTHING is perfectly cooked. And, I do NOT have to watch over it. . .I just wait for the unit's buzzer to tell me it's ready! Try that on YOUR gas or electric stove-top! In other words, It's a great way to cook. . .And, save money while doing it!

Easy to use

I ordered this product because I'm planning to build out a camper van. But I was sold anyway when I heard about the features, especially since my own range is so terrible. I have debilitating ADHD and have caused some scary safety issues when I left food cooking on the stove for an extended period of time. This cooktop has a timer and (if you want) turns off automatically after the timer goes off. It also turns off if you forget to put anything on it at all, or if you put an induction-incompatible pan on it. This cooktop is extremely easy to operate once you know what setting you need and what all the functions do. The function setting cycles between "temp selection" and "wattage selection." You can choose to keep the surface at a given temp or a given power setting. That's the only hard part of using this--you have to know what temp or wattage something like "simmer" is. On my conventional electric, the heat settings are LO - 10, and I think 10 is lower than the top setting on this cooktop. It's a very different scale and it takes a bit of work to figure it out, even after googling a temp and wattage chart. The directions have charts but they aren't totally adequate in my opinion. But once you figure out your method, the cooker is super easy to use. You just tap the plus or minus symbols on the control panel to adjust the temp/wattage or set the desired time on the timer. It's very easy. There is a child lock and an "anti-belly-dial lock" that keeps you from accidentally changing settings with your gut or elbow whatever. Just tap or hold the lock button. The buttons are just extremely straightforward. The unit has a fan that runs while you cook, and it makes a bit of noise. I didn't even really notice it until I was done cooking, when it stayed on even though I had turned the burner off. It's pretty quiet--much quieter than the fan in our range hood. But I guess there are circumstances for which you would need a totally silent cooktop, in which case this one wouldn't work. The cooker heats pans very quickly, then holds them at temp really well. I'd never seen a pan heat up so quickly before. Also, since it's flat, when I'm not using it, I can put a protective layer on it and put my air fryer on top to save counter space. I'm eventually going to put a wide (decorative, lol) board over half of my range so I can store and use this on the stove rather than the counter. Either way it's so low profile that there are a lot of ways to store it if you have a counter and cupboards or shelves. I'm really, really happy with this cooker.
