This is a very solidly made product that heats qu...ickly, maybe even faster than gas. The ceramic glass surface is easy to clean and seems pretty tough, though I would be hesitant to hit it hard with an iron fry pan. My only complaint to date is the heat/power control needs to be more precise in its settings. There is about 30 degrees of increase for each additional increment in the temperature setting while half that amount would be more preferable. To be perfect, the temperature setting should be exact and maintained as such until slow cooking items are done. There is another brand (Nuwave) that advertises such a feature but the reviews I've read indicate that it tends to be unreliable and subject to breakdown.

Item arrived undamaged and in excellent finish. Al...l systems worked fine. Temperature control was precise with more than adequate heating for any cooktop foods. I was not satisfied that I was not told that special cookware must be used with this unit. All cookware must have a high ferrous content or the error message shows and the unit will not heat up. The metal plate helps but is aggravating to use. For this reason, it is just another costlyl hotplate with special technology built in.

I needed some kind of portable cooktop for traveling. I'd heard ...about induction cooktops and that they stay relatively cool to the touch while cooking. This Max Burton is wonderful. I tested it out on a few things and it worked like a charm. Easy instructions, nice large size, relatively light in weight, and works very nicely. I'm impressed and wish I'd bought one sooner. It will also make a nice addition to my air fryer and pressure cooker, the two items I use most in the kitchen. It will definitely keep my kitchen much cooler this summer.

The only problem I have with the unit is I can not control the ...temp more precisely. It has 10 settings but they are several degrees apart. More precise control in 5 degree increments would be ideal for me.
