PORTABLE INDUCTION BURNER: Duxtop induction cooktop uses 110/120 V 15 amp electrical outlet–standard in all North American homes. ETL listed and built to North American electrical standards. It is lightweight and compact for easy handling and storage
Choose from 20 preset power levels (100 to 1800 W) and 20 preset temperature level settings (100 °F to 460 °F). With an 83% energy efficiency, induction burner is more efficient than traditional gas or electric stoves
DIGITAL LCD SENSOR: Touch control panel: child safety lock keeps the cooking and timer settings from being accidentally changed once they have been set; fast boil button; keep warm button (for 1-30 minutes at 140 °F); up to 10-hour timer button
Induction stoves rely on cookware to heat, so it’s essential to choose magnetic bottom cookware with a minimum diameter of 5 inches. Auto-pan detection will shut off automatically after 60 seconds if no cookware, or the incorrect cookware is detected
Although induction itself is a noiseless process, there may be high pitched sounds from the cookware due to multiple layers of metals sandwiched together. Please allow the induction cooker to cool down before cleaning

Title: This thing is GREAT - functions very well, looks nice, is durable, and it's fairly quiet!
Review: We got this stove to do things like hot pot on the dinner table. We had only used butane-powered stoves before this one, but liked the idea of something a little quieter and something that didn't burn gas as an indoor appliance. I am so happy with this cooktop! We've used it many times now, and it's been great. It has easy to use settings for keeping things warm or boiling water (takes some figuring out, but generally easy to adjust and get right), it's surfaces are easy to clean, it's fairly quiet (It has an internal fan that spins as it runs, and makes noise like a computer fan), and it works with so many of the pots we already had (seriously - people always talk about not going induction because they are worried they'd have to buy all new pots, but I really think that's overblown! Almost every pot we have is compatible).Highly recommend this stove as your go-to cooktop when you don't have access to a full kitchen or for other niche uses. It will handle any kind of cooking you want to do! One worry I had was that it would get really hot during use, but it's really well regulated. Heat does not penetrate through the stove so the table or counter top it sits on does not get hot after hours of boiling water, and only the cooktop surface gets hot as heat transfers from the pot to the surface. It cools down fairly quickly and can be put away sooner after you're done with it.

Title: Love this induction burner, replaced our gas stovetop
Review: We got this induction burner to try out induction cooking and see if it could be a viable replacement for our propane gas stovetop. We had been seeing a lot of news articles about propane and natural gas leaking cancer-causing chemicals into the house, and we wanted to transition away from using propane anyway because our tank needed to be replaced. The burner is very easy to use, and the instructions were excellent at helping us learn how to cook with induction. My favorite aspect is that the heat level can be selected using specific numbers. When we later looked for built-in induction cooktops, we found that many of them lacked this wonderful feature, so we decided to just continue using this portable cooktop instead of installing one, and bought a second portable induction cooktop from this same brand, which we also love.There are a few downsides which were not enough of a big deal to us to outweigh the benefits:As other reviews mention, there is a high-pitched humming noise when the unit is heating up. Some of our family members, particularly children, were greatly bothered by this in the beginning, while adults who don't hear as well noticed it but weren't bothered by it much. The noise pitch and volume seems to vary depending on the type of cookware used--generally, more ferrous materials such as cast iron seem to make less noise, and nonstick pans that just have a layer of metallic surface on the bottom made the most noise.We found it's much more usable with a silicone mat--otherwise the pan can easily slide around on the cooktop, particularly when you're boiling water and it splashes over the sides.There is a slight learning curve to cooking with induction, but as a pretty functional family "cook" who makes just simple dishes, I found it very intuitive. Much of the challenge was that I decided to also learn how to cook with cast iron at the same time, and that also has its own learning curve, which I found to be steeper than cooking with induction.Many people we've shared our positive induction experience with are incredulous that we were okay with buying all new cookware, but we used this as an opportunity to clear out a lot of the cookware clutter from our kitchen. We found we really only ever used a few pans anyway, and we were happy to have an excuse to replace our cookware that had scratches in the nonstick coating, which likely wasn't good for us to keep using anyway.I would highly recommend this induction burner to anyone looking to try out cooking with induction, relatively inexpensively. We've had it for a year, using it several times a week usually, and it has always performed consistently well.

Title: I like it a lot with one caveat
Review: For "one pot/burner" things this unit means there's no need to use the radiant (heats house, inefficient and less control) stove. Induction has the near-immediate response of gas without the gas.I was surprised at the amount of cooking power this little guy has -- its extremely efficient with nearly all the energy going into the pan and thus food and, as it turns out, highly effective.Power control is quite-interesting (and surprisingly good) -- it BOTH modulates output AND cycles on lower settings. So at 4.0, for example, it only pulls about 500 watts, but also turns on and off on a ~5 second or so cycle. Put it on BOIL (10) and it pulls 12A out of the wall, right near its nameplate rating on a 100% duty cycle. Two on these one circuit WILL trip the breaker if you turn them up. But being modulated instead of simply cycling on/off like your microwave does mean if you're using an inverter in a camper, for example, and have limited 120V power capacity you CAN use it on the lower settings without tripping your inverter (or generator) -- you just have to pay attention. And lower settings are perfectly-adequate for a LOT of things; my usual setting for a small frypan to do a single-person omelet and a couple of strips of bacon is 4.0 which does a fine job and sips power. Idle power consumption (when off but plugged in) bounces around a great deal with spikes to 0.3A or so, which is a bit surprising - average seems to be about 1 watt and a near-zero power-factor -- I doubt it will have any material impact on your bill sitting on the counter plugged in but off.You can sometimes hear it when operating; the pan matters a lot. Some of my cookwear you can't hear over the fan, other pieces you can. I don't find it particularly annoying but some people may.I'd like to buy a full induction range but they tend to suffer from two serious problems -- stupid money being asked and the control layout on most leaves a lot to be desired. However you'd get materially more power -- this unit is limited, as you might expect, by the fact that it is a 15A/120V device, so it simply does not have the power of a 240V range -- but on the other hand, its one burner. Then again for many common things you'll be surprised at how low you want it and still ger what you want (e.g. 4.0 for an omelet and bacon; if you use a larger pan turn it up one more and you're good for that too.)The unit has a fan for heat dissipation in the electronics that runs whenever it is on and for a minute or so after being shut off to cool itself down.The one "gotcha" is that you need induction-compatible cookware. Cast iron works (beautifully, I might add) and so do SOME others. If it says "POT" when you put the cookware on it then its a nope. Aluminum cookware (unless it has a steel core in the bottom) will not work; SOME stainless does and of course all carbon steel cookware works great.Safety is another factor with induction -- it heats the pot, not the cooktop, and if you turn it on and there's no ferrous item on it the unit will shut off after 30 seconds or so (with a "POT" warning.) This is unlike a conventional electric or gas range that will happily blast away with something like a newspaper or potholder on top and.... of course catch it on fire. In addition while the glass does get hot while in use from heat transfer it is from the cookware on it, not the unit itself. It does display "HOT" on the display after use for a while until the top cools down to warn you anyway.In addition to straight "power" settings (0.5 increments up to 10, which is full) it also has a temperature mode where you can set a desired pot temperature and it will attempt to reach and hold it. I don't use that often and don't know how accurate it is but it seems to work fine; one-touch "full blast" (boil) and "keep warm" (very low) are also one-touch options. It can do timed cooking as well if you want.The only complaint I really have is that the glass top streaks a lot (cleaning it is somewhat of a pain) and its probably best to unplug or lock it before wiping down the control panel as it will read your finger pressing things through the cloth you're using. The LOCK button does nothing unless its on, so you can't use that to lock the panel for cleaning purposes. With that said its much easier to clean than a glass-top electric range since it doesn't charcoal the food onto it at extreme levels of heat as those do, so you don't need the specialty cleaner at all -- an ordinary blue scrubby with a bit of dish soap and a kitchen rag to wipe it off works just fine.We'll see if it keeps chugging away -- thus far I've had it for about five months, it gets daily use here and I've got no complaints worth mentioning.Recommended.

Review: I live off grid in a Net Zero Tiny Home I built myself. I use this unit as my main stove. Adjusting the power level adjusts the watts it uses, which is important so I don't drain my batteries too fast, or unnecessarily. This unit pops on at "5", half way to "10", which I think is about 600 watts.I cook a thick steak in 6 minutes, with the lid on, in a 2 quart sauce pan. 1 minute at 5 to sear the meat. 2 minutes at 3 and then flip. 1 minute at 5 to brown the second side. 2 minutes at 2, and it automatically turns off. I leave it to settle and continue cooking for about 2 minutes, and "Down The Hatch". Perfect rare steak, brown on both sides. In six minutes!I love how the timer works, very easy to set. I'm a precision nut in cooking and this is as fussy as I am.It boils a coffee cup of water in my pour over kettle set on 5 in 50 seconds, the time it takes me to grind the beans in my hand grinder. At 10, it would be maybe 20 seconds. I can't grind that fast, so I set it for 5. Did I say I'm fussy, lol?Best of all, I can cook dinner, and my 200AH of batteries have not gone down measurably. Not even 1% of capacity. The unit is quite durable and easy to clean. I wish it said watts instead of "5", but that's just me. I have a watt meter, so I could figure it out if I had to. I think it said it cooks in increments of 200W. It has 2, 2.5, 3 etc.Using this burner will cut your cooking electricity in half. Cleanup is fast. No parts to break or replace. The surface isn't cold after cooking, so be careful, but it sure isn't as hot as an electric burner or gas burner even.Best of all, I am free of fossil fuels! I run this off 1,000 watts of solar panels. I have no monthly utility bills. My thanks to Duxtop for making a sturdy, flexible, handy unit that looks like it will last. 10 out of 10!

Review: Busque en diversas tiendas en México (nunca habÃa tenido una parrilla de inducción). Me decidà comprarla por las reseñas de los otros clientes. Deseaba una parrilla de inducción porque acabo de poner paneles solares en casa. Es fácil de utilizar, me gusta que al cambiar los niveles rápido calienta o disminuye el calor. Tenemos varios meses usándola en casa. Muy rápido calienta en comparación de la estufa y produce menos calor en la casa (útil en los meses de verano). La recomiendo ampliamente. Lo único que no sé es la duración de vida útil de la parrilla, ojala sea mucho tiempo el que funcione.
