Dual Induction Cooktop - 12 Inch Portable Electric Stove Top with 9 Heating Levels - 220V, 3100W Built-in Ceramic Glass Portable Induction Cooktop - Touch Control, Timer & Child Lock, 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.

Purchased cooktop for a tiny house in March of 2019. Began getting error messages in September, and the rear element stopped working in Octoner. I have called Kitchen and Home several times, and left two messages on a machine, and I have had no response. The cooktop is great when it works...the nonexistence of a company is disappointing. Cooking with one burner for a family of four is extremely difficult.

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.

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!

Installed and used my first one for nearly a year and operation was flawless until I dropped a heavy glass cup from a cabinet about 3 feet above the cooktop. The glass cup shattered in dozens of pieces and thought the cooktop survived without any damage till looked again after cleaning up the glass cup and found it cracked. All my fault and bought a second unit and replaced and all was good for about a month. Since I have been using the induction cooktop for nearly a year, I have stopped treating it like a delicate instrument and have progressed to using cookware (classic all stainless steel RevereWare) made before induction cooktops were made since it passes the magnet test and the ultimate luxury in cookware is using something so light yet cooks so evenly. However the other day while using the all stainless steel RevereWare 7" frying pan I angled the pan while keeping a side on the cooktop so it would remain on (lifting the pan off the cooktop turns it off) to distribute the olive oil before adding the food. Within minutes of this pan tilt, the cooktop made a loud pop, tripped the circuit breaker and once the circuit breaker was reset will not power up. I have since swapped the ceramic cooktop surface of the unit I dropped the glass cup with the unit that for lack of a better term, blew itself up. I will not tilt cookware on the unit and report back my findings at some future time.

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.

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.

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.
