Fantastic - only stove I have!
I have had the older models now for six years. Haven't missed a beat. I live in a small cabin and this is the only stove I have. I use it for everything - I cook all my food from scratch. My Kuhn-Rikon pressure cooker works on it and the Zojirushi thermal pot cooker works also.
Don't shy away just because you don't want to buy All-Clad. Mine works with cast iron too.
Plus the Supentown website has some pans quite reasonable.
This induction cooker has some features that even high dollar stoves don't. I can cook "precisely" at a given temperature. No more scorching and it simmers like a dream. Although you might not think so at first - the timer is a dream come true. Need to walk away for a little bit and something is almost through cooking? Set the timer -it'll turn off and if you need to - you can finish when you come back.
Cleanup is wonderful. Just wipe it off with a washcloth and your done.

Induction Trial
I LOVE it. I hardly ever use my (electric) range. Anticipating that I'd be moving off the natural gas grid I bought this 2.5 yrs ago to see what life with Induction would be like. It's fabulous. Fast, responsive, accurate. I'm looking forward to remodeling my kitchen next year and adding a 30 inch all induction cooktop. I like a 36" cooktop, but with a portable like this one tucked away I can haul it out when I need the extra burner, and will be able to use my space more efficiently.
If you're curious about Induction, try one of the portables first. At worst, you've got a great extra station for a hot appetizer when you throw your next party.
Check out the Henkels Induction-ready cookware. One reason I balked at moving to Induction was that the cost of buying All-Clad adds a lot to the picture. But the Henkels is GREAT, well priced, comfortable to use, heavy. I hate giving up my clay pots that I use on the stove top, but - all around, Induction is the...
Too early to tell for sure
Firstly, I received what is obviously an open box return or a refurb. The box was ripped almost in half, the plastic around unit ripped, it had fingerprints and grease marks on it as well as chips of the silver paint on the side and one chip in the cooking surface (but outside of the cooking area itself). Shame shame, Amazon. I didn't pay for a second.
I tried it out right away and it seemed to work OK. Fan is no louder than my previous. Although it is 1300 watts like my old one the cord is much thicker and therefore more inflexible. I don't have the great big "Induction" in the center of the circle thankfully! It is nice looking except for the chipped paint and all features I tried out so far seem to work. I did both temp and heat. Haven't tried timer yet. Agree the lock thing is a bit annoying as it doesn't work like you would expect but I can live with it. Plenty powerful for me. Again, it is the same wattage as my older unit but did seem more powerful,...
