works pretty good,looks great
I bought this particular brand because the manufacturer claims the six temperature settings hold steady. I wanted to use the lowest setting (140 Farenheit) for cooking sous vide, but the temperature doesn't hold steady in the way I'd hoped, even when the setting is locked. Instead it's like any other electric burner where sous vide cooking means adding ice cubes. I've heard it said induction burners are as precise and consistent as gas, and if I am comparing this burner to the circa 1996 Whirlpool gas range that came with my house, that is true. In comparison to my 2009 Kenmore Elite gas range, however, it is not. The precision and consistency of this induction cooktop is not nearly as fine tuned as the burners on a mid-range or higher gas burner. Once I get the temperature of the water to hold at 140 on my gas range's simmer burner, it will stay within 3 degrees Farenheit of that temp for hours, whereas the induction burner's heat continues to increase well past the stated 140 F...
Good, but in need of bit better craftmenship
Does excellent job, but some trim is becoming unglued. Not good, I guess that shouldn't have happened.
Otherwise satisfied.
Wonderful Value for the price
Fantastic value. It boiled 3 pints of water in a large saucepan in 7 minutes, compared with 15 minutes on my ceramic electric range, using the same power (1200W). I'll be going all-induction as soon as I can afford to toss my ceramic range. Two complaints- 6 heat settings are not quite enough, maybe 8 or 10 would be better, also the fan is a bit noisy.
