INDV-3102

First time with an induction cooktop - it is fast! Takes up very little space on the countertop and looks nice and sleek. Back with a second review: we have had this now for more than half a year in the hotel suite and it is a great cooktop. I highly recommend it. You can't get better for the price and for how safe and easy it is to cook on it. I have had only compliments from guests and never a complaint. I purchased a good inexpensive set of pots and pans from IKEA, and they all work great. I like that the cooktop won't start without a pan on, and that it's cool at touch. I think this is one of the rare induction cooktops that has the "vertical" design, so you save so much space on the countertop. I am posting some more pictures to show how nice it looks. Very happy with the purchase.

Love this unit...and great service. First unit was DOA, but we did not heeok it up for several months. Company sent out a new one no questions asked...and accepted the dead unit. The replacement works fantastic. High power...is much more powerful and CONSISTENT than any pair of single 1500/1800W 120V units - we have tried several - Duxtop, NuWave PIC, and another random unit (don't know why people love the NuWave...it is really terrible and shuts off randomly)... We have demo'd Bosch, Viking,...etc and several other burners...some sort of combination K&H unit will make it into our perm kitchen (right now we are using this during our whole house reno...) Unit requires 240V / 20A breaker with #12 wiring or better. The questions and reviews stating a 30A breaker is acceptable are WRONG. This unit is designed to operate on a 2-pole 20A breaker. If you already have a 30A/240V circuit and want to use this appliance on that circuit, you need to REPLACE the 30A 2-pole breaker with a 20A 2-pole breaker. It is acceptable to reduce the breaker size, not increase. If you're concerned about safety, a 2-pole 20A GFCI breaker can be installed to power the cooktop (this is especially important if you're using a plug & receptacle arrangement on TOP of the counter). If you really want to prevent a dangerous condition with a toddler, a 2-pole 20A switch can be used to turn off the unit between uses - Leviton makes a 2-pole PILOT toggle switch (light on) - 3032-PLC or 3032-PLR

We've had 3 units now. Every time, one burner goes out (well one time, we just got a completely bad unit). Some times they last 2 weeks, sometimes they last several months. But always the same result. Dealing with support, they make excuses like "it must be wired wrong" or "you're going to put us out of business with these warranty claims". Well, maybe the problem is you shouldn't sell a faulty design. Most recently, they've just stopped responding and failing to send out RMA labels. It would be one thing if they'd at least respond to queries as to what the problem was. Instead, they just take the unit back, service it, blame us, and send it back. But zero feedback as to what to tell the electrician or what they're doing to 'service it'. For all I know, they're just resetting a fuse or something simple. I'm particularly upset because we cut a hole in the granite to fit this exact unit and now I have low confidence that we'll find another similar enough.

This is an incredible bargain compared to high-end name-brand. It works almost as well (read on) at a small fraction of the price. At first glance, there appear to be only 9 power levels, not 17. The instruction manual is rather cryptic, saying press a number twice, and again to return to the previous level. What it means is that there are two power levels associated with each number. A decimal point is displayed next to the number to indicate you are getting the higher-level power for that same number. (Meaning "1", and "1.5", and so on.) It toggles back and forth between Low and High for each number as you press the number repeatedly. With my cookware, I have found that level 1 will raise water to 148 degrees, level 1.5 gets to 170, but perversely, when the water is already 210 (level 2), I can turn it down to 1.5 and the water stays at 210. Possibly an artifact of the conductivity in my specific pans. When the pan is hot, it takes less power to keep it hot. So don't count on my temperatures for your pans. Do run your own tests before cooking that lobster in butter. This cooker also uses cyclic energy bursts to achieve lower heat levels, which is less compatible with some foods than the more expensive cookers. For example, level 1 turns the power on for a few seconds, then off for a few more seconds, repeat. Depending on the specific pan used, the surface temperature of the pan may vary more or less widely during these power boosts. So you can't melt chocolate directly on the pan because it will get too hot during the ON cycle, You have to use a water bath, or some other damping mechanism. That said, it works adequately, and for the price, you can adjust your cooking style to adapt. (or you can spend five or six times as much and get a high-end name-brand.) If this is your first Induction cooker, be aware that the top-of-the-line induction cookers are easier to cook on, and do a better job than radiant electric or gas. I still like it better than my gas stove, and it's so easy to clean compared to either gas or electric radiant--the surface never gets hotter than the bottom of the pan, and doesn't stay hot very long. Virtually no chance of a fire with induction cookers. This one is far more powerful than the 120 v 2-burner units you may be comparing. This one is a smart, economical choice; only less than perfect at lower temperatures.

So far so good. Few weeks in. Comes with feet to put on countertop. Need to cut granite to fit. Cast iron pans work the best. Very quick to heat up. Go slow tho as pans can warp. This has lots of power and quick to adjust with touch buttons. For the size I have to straddle both burners with 14" castiron or big kettle. Then it has serious power. Fan is a bit noisy but this is a trade off. Counter should muffle this a bit later. Thanks for making a good product affordable. 240 single phase needed. Double tap a set number to get that number plus a half a number more.

This is an update. One burner on the stovetop went out after five months but the manufacturer replaced the unit. The same burner on the unit has now stopped functioning (just about 13 months after I got the second unit and I am outside of the warranty. Because I cut out an opening in the countertop to accommodate the unit, I am not happy. I plan on looking for a name brand that will not have to replaced every year. The time spent installing it and the fear that it really will only last a year makes it an expensive proposition. The stove top is almost a five. Because of the compact size, and the location of the controls it does not accommodate two large pots at the same time. But I was using two portable units before, which took up a lot of counter space, and this is a much better looking and sleeker option. Also I love the fact that there are 17 levels of power on each burner. Great price for what I got. I contacted the seller because there is no direction in the manual for the electrical connections. They told me the wiring information was on the Amazon product page - not a place I would have looked. The manual also could stand to have the contact information for the seller. It has an "After Sales Service" section, but no contact information. Again, need to go to Amazon for it.

I rarely leave reviews but have to for this product. I purchased the induction and the conventional ceramic cooktops from D&H. While at first I was suspicious due to low price, I am stunned with the look and quality and the customer support (we had a small issue with the first cooktop not knowing how to properly connect it - whoever is leaving poor reviews that it doesn't heat up fast doesn't know how to connect it properly - contact the seller and he'll provide easy excellent detailed instructions). My family lives in Europe and has Bosch for all appliances. This absolutely matches the look and feel and quality. I'm a super happy customer and love both of my cooktops. After doing three months of research for a high end kitchen remodel - this hands down is the top winner. Buy it, don't think twice about it. 2021 update: still working and looking great! Four years and counting. We get a lot of compliments on it, and someone recently asked where we got it. Here!

I used this product in the Philippines and I'm extrely happy. Intuitve, dependable, & energy saver. What other kind of cookware you can match its performance? The heat speed is up to 5 points and the highest speed I use is only 3 points which if not watchful, the foods will get burn. Most of the time, I use 2 points speed. The features that I like most are Timer cooking and Warm Food feature. Speed 1 is a cooking speed. Speed zero is warming foods only. Your hand will not get burn if you place it in the burner. My neighbors & friends like it. So easy to clean. Looks new after one year & 7 months of use. In small condo, it is very portable to put in a drawer to gain back the space.
