Title: The pleasure of stovetop cooking with the efficiency of a microwave.
Review: I absolutely could not be happier with this cooktop.I set out to specifically purchase a different brand based on recommendations that I had read on several cooking sites. But as I compared features, specifications, prices, and the ergonomics of the design... the Duxtop appeared to be the better choice.My order arrived sooner than scheduled. Yea! I'm not a patient fellow, so it was test when I prepared that evening's meal. The one and only induction ready pan I accidentally own proved in the first dish that I would be delight with this new, to me, methodology. As soon as I mastered it!Electric ranges have been on my dirty list since leaving the country. (No gas to be had in the city here.) I was fed up with the lack of heat control and the delayed responses to adjustments. When one lady discussed induction as her favorite tool when commenting on her recipe cite, I liked the sound of it.Thus I began researching the method and perusing recommendations. Those all leaned towards two other brands; one being what I had read about on the lady's recipe page. Duxtop was not on the lists. Why? It looked to significantly be a better product than the two big-name brands.Almost a month now of cooking with it for at least two meals a day, and I could not be happier! I still have only that one induction pan, but I have lots of cast-iron that I love. [The cast-iron is ideal for this device because the heat goes into the food, not the pan, I am often done with a dish before the handle even gets warm.] This Duxtop cooks so well that I can, and do, frequently prepare two dishes per meal on it.The heat control is exactly what I desired. And, the food heats almost instantly. Because of this I'm finding it hard to keep up, as I was used to having time to do other things or just idle myself waiting on the electric range. Now I have to be on my game or things will be cooked before I'm ready to add the next ingredient!I have yet to even need to set to the highest temperature. The cooktop comes on at medium, and I find that I most often lower that to medium-low. Only when using the 5 and 6 quart pots or the 12" skillet (all cast-iron) have I needed to set it to medium high.The controls are simple, with a sensible layout, and properly located for ease of use. They are large enough for a man's fingers and the markings are easily legible to my old eyes.Clean up is a cinch, just a swipe with the dishrag. Done.One absolutely wonderful aspect of induction cooking is that the heat goes into the food... not the kitchen. No sweating over a hot range now. That also equates to less energy usage and I am sure to see that when the electric bills come. With the amount I cook, I expect to see a savings payback in less than a year!The Duxtop sits precisely over a small burner on the electric range, so I have not had to give up any precious countertop space, with the added advantage of being able to use the range hood fan to draw away the steam of cooking.If I can squeeze another purchase out of my Social Security, I won't need the range at all. A large board over that to hold two Duxtop cooktops will even provide me a net increase in work space.I have not once found any item to fault; this product has exceeded my expectations and thus a well earned 5 Stars!That was in July 2015, it is now October 2015. Did I say I could not be happier? Well I really do mean that!The heat of summer has passed, without overheating my kitchen with the big electric range that I hate.This Duxtop burner has cooked everything I've asked of it. And done so flawlessly. At this time, I don't know if I'd even go back to using a gas range. I've used timer and temperature setting features a lot, and love 'em. The highest (10) power has never been needed, and 90% of my cooking has been done in the 2-7 power ranges when not using the direct temperature control.I have added a couple of new induction compatible stainless steel pans to the one I accidentally had, but my cast-iron is still my usual go-to first cookware. I've just learned to slowly pre-heat them first for better performance. And the Duxtop is still faster than waiting for the range's coils to heat up!I did cover the electric range with a piece of counter-top. Although I only laid it there so as to be easily removable, I have yet to need the range. I now have two induction burners and more counter space. I'm in heaven!Now I have to admit, sadly, to finding one single thing to fault: The control panel is level with the cooking surface. I carelessly moved a 12" cast-iron skillet onto part of the control area and left a slightly melted semi-circlular mark across it. Shame on me! But, the Duxtop suffered my ill abuse without any ill effect in operation. Hint to Duxtop: slope the control panel to protect it from people like meIs 5 Stars all I can give this item? It deserves more!

Title: Great Duxtop 1800-watt Induction cook top
Review: A quick update. I have been using this induction cook top for 6 months now on a daily basis, it is the only cook top I use. I am still as happy with it as I was when I first started using it. Getting use to the heat settings did not take long and it does hold true to the temperature. I most certainly recommend this product to others. Am very happy with my investment.I just received my Duxtop induction cook top from Amazon a few days ago. I have to say, this is a wonderful cook top and I am glad that I made this purchase. I purchased it because my regular gas cook top was no longer safe to use and I needed a burner desperately. I did my homework on several of these cook tops and I found this to be the best option in its price range. There is a slight learning curve in using it as the heat settings are accurate and of course you have to use the preset heat ranges, they increase or decrease by 20 degrees and are not quite what you would expect them to be -- I would like it better if you could increase or decrease by 10 degree increments, and if low went a little lower, say to 120 degrees. I am not sure that on my regular cook top I ever actually cooked at 350/360 degrees even though I thought I was.I did read in other reviews as to the sound of the fan -- not even as bad as indicated -- and the red "on" light remaining lit -- not a problem and you know you have your appliance plugged in -- I am glad that the light stays lit and you can tell the difference between it being plugged in to power and the unit actually being on -- it is not rocket science -- with the light being on I can remember that I need to unplug it, as anything electrical from a TV etc. can start a fire if left plugged in and you have a faulty plug you might not know you have. I unplug everything when I leave or just when I am not using it -- I have all my electrical items on surge protectors so it is easy to "disconnet" them by just shutting off the surge protector switch. (you might want to consider purchasing a meter to check the working condition of your electrical outlets and then you can replace a faulty outlet before it can cause a problem (fire) -- they are inexpensive, you do not need to be an electrician to check the outlets and the device just plugs into the outlet and lets you know if the outlet is working properly or not -- a great safety device that will save a house fire.)An induction cook top reguires pans that have a magnetic bottom on them, so you do need to use a magnet to see if it adheres to the bottom of your pans. I mostly use Calphalon pans and they are not magnetic, but I also use cast iron pans (which I actually prefer except for the weight, but now I have found they are making light weight cast iron pans) which are. Also, be sure to take a magnet with you when you shop for pans for your induction cook top. I found I did have a couple of stainless steel fry pans that were magnetic, but I have no sauce pans that are and will need to purchase a couple or invest in the special magnetic round (amazon sells this) to put on the cook top between the cook top and non-magnetic pans so that you can use them. At $34.99 it is pricy for what it is - but if you do not want to have to purchase new pans and yours are not magnetic you will need to invest in one.As always, I was very pleased with the order processing and handling and had my unit within three (3) days. I am a Prime Member, if you are not and you order from Amazon on a somewhat regular basis you might want to consider becoming a Prime Member, AND NO I am not an Amazon employee -- their program just has great benefits including the 2 day shipping.Anyway, you can not go wrong purchasing the Duxtop and I am going to not replace my cooktop, but am going to keep on using this one and will purchase an additional one and then go with a stand alone convection oven. I would not hesitate to recommend this unit to my friends, and have done so, that they purchase this unit.I will say, you do not want to purchase an induction cooktop, or any kind for that matter, that is rated below 1500-watts (regardless of what they give you free along with it, you will not be happy with its performance, plus you will have paid excessively high shipping and handling costs both ways and for that cost you could have purchased two of these -- I am sure you have seen the infomercials a well known company has running whereby they will send you two for the price of one -- they obviously know the worth of their unit and that you will be returning it and they will not refund the shipping and handling cost -- so think seriously about how what appears to be a good bargain but is not!I also want to add that I live full time in an RV and the Duxtop works beautifully and does not take up too much space -- I have it on top of my non-working unit, I just put a cutting board over the top of my stove and set it on that. Hope this helps if you are contemplating the purchase of one of these units.

Review: Fast to heat water and other liquids, small and easy to use. You need pots that are compatible, and they will heat the food differently than other heat sources, but for heating pot of water for pasta or a soup, this works great. Super fast. Boil water for eggs in half the time or faster. It is noisy, sort of a whine, but best to leave the kitchen for a few minutes and come back to a boiling pot of water in surprisingly short a time.

Review: Life on the road in a travel trailer can get extremely hot at times (even with the a/c on) and turning on an oven is out of the question. I set this up outside and it works very well! Heats up very quickly and maintains heat at lower temp very well.. East to clean and transport.Would recommend.

Review: Hi.I received my Cook-top in four days, which was great. It arrived without issue and worked properly out of the box. The top is made of glass except for the control panel which is some sort of rigid plastic integrating the touch pad controls. The base is all plastic with four small rubber stops. The power cord is hefty to support the 1800 Watt rating. A serial-number label is stuck on the outside of the box that it came in, but I am unable to find its matching label on my Duxtop unit itself. There is no label on the exterior of the unit at all for that matter, and suspect that the label must be stuck somewhere on the interior of the unit.I purchased the Duxtop to use it mostly outside during the hottest summer days, to prevent unnecessary warming of my house. I will use it to boil water for corn, and other lengthy type cooking during the summer. My outdoor BBQ does not have any build in cook-top on its side tablets, so I plan to sit it on either side when I use it to cook. As other reviewers mentioned, I will also use it as a fifth indoor cook-top element if/when needed.I already owned a set of German made stainless steel pots (set of four), with thick sandwiched bottoms. I was happy to see my magnet stick to the bottom of these pots just fine. My magnet does NOT however stick to the sides of the same pots.I tried all four pots, ranging from 5.25 inches to 8.5 inches, and indeed they all work fine. Turning the Duxtop on without a pot, or using aluminium pots and pans displayed an error, as expected.I boiled water to test my Duxtop, and compared it to my 1.7L Oster 1500W electric kettle for the boil times. Here are all my observations:- Time to boil 1.7L room temperature water: Duxtop on Hi (10) power setting: 7 minutes vs. Oster: 6m 50 sec.- Turned on full power: Duxtop on Hi (10) power setting draws 14.10 Amps vs. Oster (no power settings) draws 12.33 Amps.- Turned off, but plugged in: Duxtop draws .31 Amp idle. That means it draws power even when sleeping. I will unplug it when not being used.- Duxtop on medium (5) power setting draws 8.66 Amp.- Duxtop on low (1) power setting draws between 0.33 Amp to 5.7 Amp (as it toggles itself on and off to maintain this low heat setting).- Duxtop on medium (320 degrees F.) temp setting draws 8.31 Amp.- Duxtop on high (460 degrees F.) temp setting draws 10.33 Amp.Duxtop glass-top does stay relatively cool after coking, with the only heat emanating from it after cooking being the heat transferred from the hot pot to the glass-top. My biggest surprise is that I did NOT notice any speed difference boiling water. From the reviews that I read, I expected a better boil time from the Duxtop (maybe my Oster got wind of what I was dong, and tried harder). Also, my Duxtop unit does NOT support Celsius units.There is a high pitched squeak almost like fingernails on a chalkboard, but even higher pitched, which occurs when starting a cooking session: When the high pitch tone does appear, it is only from the moment the Duxtop starts cooking. Then the high pitched tone changes tone slightly a couple of times (squeals), and dies down after ~10 seconds from the initial power-on. Once the high pitched tone goes away, it never comes back for the rest of the cooking session. Note that if I don't hear the high pitch tone from the moment that I power-on my Duxtop, then there is no high pitched tone during the cooking session: the high pitched tone starts from power-on, or not at all, and always goes away within a short period of time. I am guessing that it has something to do with the electronics driving the electro-magnetic field. As long as this appears to be normal behaviour, it's a non-issue for me. I have NOT been able to explain the logic of its intermittent characteristic.Reliability can only be determined with time and frequency of use.In summary, for the price, I think that this is an affordable, useful item, that will see most of its use outdoor, next to my BBQ, during the hot summer days.I took one STAR off for the "disappointment" that my hot water kettle boils water just as quickly, while using less power than my Duxtop (kettle rated at 1500W vs. Duxtop rated at 1800 Watt).I would not hesitate to by this product. I am satisfied with the delivery, build quality, functionality, finish, and initial performance.TZ.
