Works well but has limitations.
By sometimes traveler
I've had this unit for over a year now and haven't used it a great deal but enough in supplimental cooking to get a pretty good feel for it. I originally bought it as the recomended induction unit by Cook's Illustrated to get a feel for cooking with that kind of heat because it seemed like such an effective use of technology. My unit came with the removable piece that purportedly allows you to use non-magnetic cookware - well, it does - but so poorly as to be nearly useless in my estimation.The cooktop itself generally worked very well, heated water very quickly, had a broad range of capabilities with the time, heat level, and temperature controls. I found two limiting factors that reduced the value of the unit to me.First, the cooktop controlls heat by cycling on and off like a microwave rather than a continuous application. I was unable to simmer effectively (like oatmeal).Second, the actual heat input of the cooktop is a small (around 4 inches) diameter central ring rather than the large diameter outside ring covered by the accessory plate in the illustrations. This results in a small area of sometimes intense heat. I was not able to effectively saute or brown foods other than in the center of my cast iron dutch ovens making a stew a tedious operation.There may be a way around these limitations but the documentation that accompanied the unit provided no hint.

Wow! I'm amazed at Max Burton 1800W Induction Cooktop
By J. T. Hwang
I've bought this induction cooktop as I was thinking about installing a natural gas generator indoors. I said why not, since water heater, furnace and my dryer all use gas. In doing research, I've discovered unhealthy side effects of cooking with gas due to chemicals in what I thought was a "clean" burning gas. They recommend running the exhaust fan when using gas to cook. I bought this burner on impulse; long story short, I'm blown away.My little experiment. Took 2 quarts of 50 degF tap water, filled in identical Cuisinart Multiclad pro 3qt pots. Gas stove against the induction cooktop, thought it was going to be a blowout with gas taking cake. Induction burner on high and gas was on medium high that the flame was starting to lick the outside of the pot. It took the Max Burton 11 minutes to bring the pot to a roaring boil, stove....very long 24 minutes. I've also took temperature measurements along the way, using my trusty instant read thermometer. This will be a time saver for me!I like the instant setting changes and immediate response by the pot. This also has temperature setting, you can set the cooktop anywhere from 140 to 450 degF, no guessing here if you want to simmer all day. Very energy efficient. Perhaps I'm going to give some thought to replacing practically new gas range to induction after this experiment.I've heard about plastic case cracks, so I've spent a bit more and went with the stainless steel model. Since I have induction ready cookware, I don't intend to use the insert, except when I need to use non-stick pan (which is not very often). Fan noise is definitely audible, like a large tower computer noise, but definitely much less than a hair dryer. I can still have a normal conversation while cooking.I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to expedite cooking, easy clean up, and versatility controls via 1-10 setting or 140-450 degF setting. I'm going to get another one after a week or so. Yes, I'm an engineer...home experiments interests me especially when I encounter unexpected surprises.Update after 1-month use: I find the temperature setting much more effective. Settings are a bit coarse if one uses power setting or temperature setting exclusively, but may find the combination acceptable. All day cooking is not possible, as the cookware automatically shuts after about three hours. Yes, I made good on my original review; ordered the second unit today.

By Ladyfeathers
I love this cooktop! When I need to cook something fast - it's great! I love the ability to change the cooking temp too..not just Hi, low & medium.I take it with me in the RV too.. sooo much faster than using the propane stove, and portable if I want to cook outside. The only bad thing was that I had to buy a cookware set that was magnetic conductable.(If a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pans) Using the included adapter was useless, the water never would have boiled. With the right cookware,(we actually tested this) it does only take a pan of water 90 seconds to be at a full boil. That's faster than a microwave!
