Value and quality can't be beat!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic appliance AND affordable! I love how this fits in our tiny place. My only complaint is that sometimes this unit overheats when both sides are running and you have to unplug. Otherwise, great little appliance!

Induction stove top
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its one of the less expensive induction tops and it works well. We are using it in our basement apartment. You cant use both burners at the same time at higher heat levels. When you turn on the second burner the first one will reduce in heat. This also occurred on another brand I had though. It heats water very fast. Its a bit harder to control the heat compared to regular stove tops, meaning it takes time to figure out how the number settings reflect actual temperatures.

My review based on my single unit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the 2 heating elements for a gift to give to someone else. I did this because I loved the single heating element that I had bought for myself. You have the instant heat of induction heat and not having to deal with gas or long delay in a regular electric unit. Easy to clean and the convenience of easy to install anywhere by just plugging the unit into a 110 Volt AC outlet. This was an especially good deal since I bought it on sale. Only disadvantage was you need induction cookware.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes the cooktop stay hot - it was my understanding that induction will not, but on this item there is a CAUTION statement printed on the surface. Again, it is my understanding that the surface is either NEVER hot or cools off immediately.
Asked by JC.
- A:Answer Heater elements turn off instantly but residual heat still present on glass top surface. This is not not very hot and cools off quickly, since there is not as much thermal mass like with metallic cooking surfaces.

Q: QuestionIs it okay to leave it on top of counter or do you have to make the cutout?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It works fine on a countertop.
Answered by Bill
Q: QuestionPlease tell me the full range of sizes from (smallest to largest) for the base of the cookware. Thank you.
Asked by JC.
- A:Answer The literature stated anything over a 4 inch pan would work as long as it was induction capable. So four inch to whatever size you have but the burners are 6 inches across. So if you have a 15 inch pan that means the middle will be super hot but the edges will be less in heat because only the burner gets hot and its up to the base of the pan to disperse the heat to the entire pan. These are very small burners (6 inches across) and the 8 inch "warming zone" is and odd way to describe the 2 inches around each burner that apparently take the heat from the pan to create "a warming zone" in the base of the pan. It's really the area of your pan that won't be as hot as the center where the induction heat is being applied. So a bit of a marketing ploy to make you feel that you have an 8 inch diameter of heat.

Q: QuestionDoes it need to be unplugged when not in use? I have read that other models need to be unplugged when not in use and that seems very inconvenient when built in.
Asked by Kmoss.
- A:Answer I have used my induction portable cooktop (made to sit on top of my counter) for years and years and do not unplug it and have not had any trouble so I do not think that it is necessary to unplug it after each use! However that being said I would think to be extra safe you could unplug it as the plug is usually easy to get too normally. Also to be extra safe when cleaning maybe unplug it, but I do not think that is necessary as usually just a quick wipe up with a damp rag on the top cleaning surface does the job. Never ever should you put your induction device under water to clean!
Answered by Terry
Q: Questioncan we turn on both burner in the same time on level 10? am I going to damage the appliance if both burner are on highest temperature? in this case, what is the maximum wattage we can use? is it going to share 1440W in both side? or 1440W for each side?
Asked by zhao.
- A:Answer Dual induction units designed for 110 V wall outlets can not deliver full 1500 watt power to both burners simultaneously because that would exceed the capacity of a 15 amp wall outlet. For a full power unit look for 220 V

Q: QuestionPower seems to go in and out when cooking. I will hear sizzling, then it stops, then it starts again. Need a consistent temperature for cooking, is this normal for induction or is there a problem with the cooktop?
Asked by mcdeb.
- A:Answer Assuming that the cooktop is functioning correctly, it's possible that the induction function is being disrupted by the cooking method being used. If the pan is being lifted momentarily from the cooktop surface as part of the cooking method, the induction function will be interrupted and will resume when the pan again touches the cooktop. I myself will momentarily lift the pan to flip or stir the contents causing the induction function to be interrupted. It is important that the pan remains in contact with the cooktop for the induction function to work correctly. If you have kept the pan in contact with the cooktop during the "off and on" situation per your description, then the cooktop is suspect.
Answered by B4beef
Q: QuestionCan you use any type pot or pan on this?
Asked by Judy.
- A:Answer No you cannot use any pot on the induction stove top. For it to work properly, you need to use induction cookware. The heating is special on the cookware to work better on the induction stove top.

Q: QuestionWhy does it say 6 inches of space under if folks say they set it right on top of the counter?? Mine sits perfectly inside the countertop however I have kept the drawer in the cabinet and love having access to utensils so please tell me.
Asked by JC.
- A:Answer There are two fans under the unit that need space to draw air so that 6 inches of space is needed for proper airflow. Without the proper airflow you risk over-heating the unit. I believe there is a paragraph in the literature if you wish to look into it further.
