What Are The Unique Benefits?

1. Aesthetically pleasing to the eyes - Out of all the cooktops that I’ve seen online, the Duxtop Induction cooktop is simply beautiful. The design of the cooktop is very slick and seems like they took a page out of Steve Job’s design and designed it to be simple but elegant. It seriously looks great on my granite countertop.
2. Sensor Touch Control Panel -  The buttons on the older models tend to wear down after a few years but the new sensor touch is great and sensitive. I mean I love everything touch screen and the fact that the entire control panel is controlled by touch screams total geek. Who said geeks can’t cook? But seriously, induction cooktops are probably the only cooktop that can make touch control panels possible because you won’t get burned. Try building a touch control panel for your gas stove.
3. Significantly Light - It only ways 9lbs, which makes it super portable. That way you won’t have to just use it in your kitchen, but it’s great for summer backyard cooking.

What Are Some Possible Disadvantages?

• Display won’t turn off fully - Even when you’re not using the cooktop, the display shows “–”. It just seems a bit confusing, and a simple design flaw. I did think of a solution, you can either just unplug it after every use or install a switch plug that allows you to turn it on and off from your switch.
• Short Electric Chord- Another small annoyance about this product was that it’s cord was a bit short, but of course this can be  easily solved with an extension cord. I actually prefer the short cord for less clutter.

  This thing is amazing- there is no inertia! If you turn it on your food starts sizzling within seconds. If you turn it off your food stops sizzling within seconds. If you change temperature settings they happen within seconds. My only nit-pick is that the read out is behind smoked glass and has too low of a contrast, I have a hard time reading it.
