I absolutely could not be happier with this cooktop.
I set out to specifically purchase a different brand based on recommendations that I had read on several cooking sites. But as I compared features, specifications, prices, and the ergonomics of the design... the Duxtop appeared to be the better choice.
My order arrived sooner than scheduled. Yea! I'm not a patient fellow, so it was test when I prepared that evening's meal. The one and only induction ready pan I accidentally own proved in the first dish that I would be delight with this new, to me, methodology. As soon as I mastered it!
Electric ranges have been on my dirty list since leaving the country. (No gas to be had in the city here.) I was fed up with the lack of heat control and the delayed responses to adjustments. When one lady discussed induction as her favorite tool when commenting on her recipe cite, I liked the sound of it.
Thus I began researching the method and perusing recommendations. Those all leaned towards two other brands; one being what I had read about on the lady's recipe page. Duxtop was not on the lists. Why? It looked to significantly be a better product than the two big-name brands.
Almost a month now of cooking with it for at least two meals a day, and I could not be happier! I still have only that one induction pan, but I have lots of cast-iron that I love. [The cast-iron is ideal for this device because the heat goes into the food, not the pan, I am often done with a dish before the handle even gets warm.] This Duxtop cooks so well that I can, and do, frequently prepare two dishes per meal on it.
The heat control is exactly what I desired. And, the food heats almost instantly. Because of this I'm finding it hard to keep up, as I was used to having time to do other things or just idle myself waiting on the electric range. Now I have to be on my game or things will be cooked before I'm ready to add the next ingredient!
I have yet to even need to set to the highest temperature. The cooktop comes on at medium, and I find that I most often lower that to medium-low. Only when using the 5 and 6 quart pots or the 12" skillet (all cast-iron) have I needed to set it to medium high.
The controls are simple, with a sensible layout, and properly located for ease of use. They are large enough for a man's fingers and the markings are easily legible to my old eyes.
Clean up is a cinch, just a swipe with the dishrag. Done.
One absolutely wonderful aspect of induction cooking is that the heat goes into the food... not the kitchen. No sweating over a hot range now. That also equates to less energy usage and I am sure to see that when the electric bills come. With the amount I cook, I expect to see a savings payback in less than a year!
The Duxtop sits precisely over a small burner on the electric range, so I have not had to give up any precious countertop space, with the added advantage of being able to use the range hood fan to draw away the steam of cooking.
If I can squeeze another purchase out of my Social Security, I won't need the range at all. A large board over that to hold two Duxtop cooktops will even provide me a net increase in work space.
I have not once found any item to fault; this product has exceeded my expectations and thus a well earned 5 Stars!
That was in July 2015, it is now October 2015. Did I say I could not be happier? Well I really do mean that!
The heat of summer has passed, without overheating my kitchen with the big electric range that I hate.
This Duxtop burner has cooked everything I've asked of it. And done so flawlessly. At this time, I don't know if I'd even go back to using a gas range. I've used timer and temperature setting features a lot, and love 'em. The highest (10) power has never been needed, and 90% of my cooking has been done in the 2-7 power ranges when not using the direct temperature control.
I have added a couple of new induction compatible stainless steel pans to the one I accidentally had, but my cast-iron is still my usual go-to first cookware. I've just learned to slowly pre-heat them first for better performance. And the Duxtop is still faster than waiting for the range's coils to heat up!
I did cover the electric range with a piece of counter-top. Although I only laid it there so as to be easily removable, I have yet to need the range. I now have two induction burners and more counter space. I'm in heaven!
Now I have to admit, sadly, to finding one single thing to fault: The control panel is level with the cooking surface. I carelessly moved a 12" cast-iron skillet onto part of the control area and left a slightly melted semi-circlular mark across it. Shame on me! But, the Duxtop suffered my ill abuse without any ill effect in operation. Hint to Duxtop: slope the control panel to protect it from people like me
Is 5 Stars all I can give this item? It deserves more!

Impressed!!
This thing cooks wonderfully! I fried eggs just fine on power level 2. Toasted my bread too. Very easy to use.It's a bit hefty but not too ridiculous. It is a bit noisy with the fan, but not moreso than my air fryer. I'd rather have that fan be a tad noisy, then not cooling the appliance.As far as storage, I will keep it in the box when not in use.
