Admittedly, my first hot plate, except sometimes electric, but even that's been well over 20 years. So are my comparisons actually null and I I've done me no great expectations to the try out. Finally a household appliance, in which reading the instruction manual is infinitely exciting. If you follow all the advice, it is incredibly difficult to find a suitable position for this record. Although it is out easier, just as there is the possibility that you need an extension cord, which is not supposed to use (only original string), but you may use but after a few clues. So to eyes and through. It reads just like a pamphlet from Brussels. This hotplate is amazingly light, I would not have thought. And it is also very safe on a flat surface. And what else noticed positive, was the nonexistent odor when unpacking. Finally something not unpleasant smell after unpacking for chemistry. The cable is already properly long, in the kitchen you will find already a place out there and you have to see halt. If not, you can still take an extension cord. This induction plate is provided with pre-set programs (six pieces in total), but they can also be readily manually, so according to his needs, use. At the default settings, there is, among other things heating milk (it really does not boil over), boil water (for tea, the kettle is still the better alternative), cooking and frying. These programs are set so that they do not exceed a certain wattage and also to turn off when the temperature has been reached. Who needs it and so uses, truly make a good hot plate, which already decreases one a little work. Although one should not exceed certain amounts even if the programs or can be, for example, when water cook three different levels selected depending on the amount to boiling water. (However beeps neither my plate yet it turns off when the water boils, contrary to the description). I guess so beautiful, it is also with the preset programs, manual operation will be used most frequently. For an amateur cook, it is convenient, but everyone else wants that engage more and make it according to their own taste. And since it is also only a single plate, they should come into the kitchen to support production. The operation itself is quite simple and the keypad easy to operate. They respond quickly and the front display panel is clearly visible. After using the hob must, however, still cool, and that can take quite a few minutes, depending on previous service life, then runs the fan of the plate. What would also be mentioned are the pots and pans. You'll have to be suitable for induction plates, they do not, the disk turns off. Simultaneously, the board recognizes just the right cookware and can adjust its heating field automatically to the appropriate size. The cleaning is not a problem, soft cloth, warm water and the plate is clean again. Very user-friendly the whole. Actually, a good entry-level model that also priced to move at a moderate frame. Other manufacturers are something more expensive. This board has all the necessary safety certificates is, however, made in China, which is already commonplace, but also regrettable indeed. Taking the long cooling and the associated noise in purchase, you get a decent product. Since I have no means of comparison yet and am satisfied with what makes the record, I like to give an unqualified recommendation and a perfect score.
