(More customer reviews)This review should properly cover 2 areas: Induction technology and this particular stove. On both these fronts, this item does very well.
1. Induction cooking technology - only once in a great while do you come across a technology that actually is as good in practice as it sounds on paper. I was surprised by how well this technology works. I am big fan of this now, having used it for 2 days (have to convince my wife to use this more often). Amazing how quickly the pot gets hot, and how quickly any change in the temperature setting translates into a decrease in the cooking heat. This is almost magical. I am surprised more people dont use induction stoves more often- I talked to a few friends about this stove, and none of them had heard of this. On top of everything, I am sure this is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
2. This particular stove: So far, in 2 days, I have no complaints. I looked at all the options on Amazon, and was puzzled for a while as to which one to buy. Eventually, I bought this as it was the cheapest of its kind on Amazon- and I found this to have 4 stars (of 5) on the Macy's website. I was a little afraid of what it would be like. However, it performs as promised. It has temperature settings from 150F - 400F (increments of 50F), and 1400W to 600W (increments of 200W). You can choose either way to control heat. I make tea/boil milk on this, and I can make tea in a record of 8 minutes. On my heavy duty gas burner, I would easily take 15 minutes, and I am sure it is extremely inefficient to boot.
The only downside is that it has a rather loud fan (like a microwave). Not a major downside, but this aspect was just a little unexpected.
The other downside (of the technology, not this particular stove) - you need new pots and pans. I had to spend 50$ getting a new set of iron pots. However, these were not non-stick (actually, they are non-stick..they just dont work as well as the usual non-stick pots and pans), so the cleaning is a little more cumbersome.
