Hello, I have this hotplate now almost 4 months in operation and I must say I am delighted with the induction technique, you spührt only takes three seconds to heat the bottom of the pot. I use the hotplate mostly for boiling water or reheating food, and is much faster compared to a ceramic hotplate, paint at the first I even burnt stuff, because I was just out because I underestimated the speed. In addition, it is indeed so that you can save a lot of power with induction technology. The only thing that spoils the impression the very loud fan. Currently the hotplate is still on the table, but I will be glad if I can drive anywhere install, so I no longer have to listen to the fans. TIP: To test whether the pots are suitable for induction, is easily tested with a magnet whether the soil is magnetic.
