This is to replace a similar model that we bought 4 years ago and quit working. It was going to cost more to repair the old than buy new. Both the wife and I, who has used gas for 50 years, like the induction better, so we bought a new one. I just installed this one, so I can't really rate it, but, if it is as good as the old one, it will get 5 stars for performance. Durability is a completely different question, will have to wait and see how long this one lasts.
