Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I recently purchased this unit as a replacement for a failed Nuwave Titanium. My observation to this point is that it is a superior unit in terms of actual power as well as heat holding ability at set temperature. I gave it only 4 stars because the top is very slick and pans tend to move easily compared to the more matte texture of the Nuwave, but in terms of quick heating and temp accuracy this seems to best the Nuwave on both accounts. I've used induction for nearly a year and really like its flexibility. The fan noise on this unit is comparable with the Nuwave, but the fact that it runs after the unit is turned off to actually cool the unit down like a higher price unit tells me the system should last longer than the nine months that the Nuwave did. FYI, be sure to buy a Nuwave from someone they deem an "authorized dealer" no matter how big the name, because if you don't they will refuse to honor their warranty. This unit will power down to 100 degrees and chocolate melting was one thing that induction does really well unless your until will not go below 140F as so many will not. We have a full set of tri ply stainless and various cast iron, both plain and enameled, and these units work well with any of those types of pans or skillets. Now to upgrade my popcorn pan to stainless since this unit basically is "my" unit as my wife still prefers the stove unless she is making chocolate candy then suddenly it's hers. I use the units outdoors for frying fish and for boiling vegetables and shrimp as well as normal stuff I like to prepare inside from braising pork to a simple breakfast. It does as advertised and in today's world....that's a pleasant surprise. Appears to be a very solid unit and the upgrade from DUXTOP's prior units as evidenced by the wider controlled temperatures. ( I came back after two weeks of use and raised the stars from 4 to 5. Nothing is perfect, but this does everything that one would think an inexpensive unit would or should do. I've cooked in both the temp mode when temps were critical and in power modes when low, med, and high and anything in between was all that was needed. I have used cast iron, trip ply, and non stick with an induction plate attached and it worked fine with all three sets up. Just remember that once up to temp the power on these can be cut was back. I boiled corn for an example beginning with the "boil" setting until boiling began, inserted the corn and watched the boiling stop due to the cool corn, but as soon as the water boiled again with corn in it, I switched to temp mode and set the temp to 220 and it boiled nicely for 9 more minutes until the timer turned it off just as I asked for. For the money it is very good and as such I couldn't ask for more out of a unit of this price thus the 5.)
