I purchased this stove because of the control with the heat they demonstrated to me in the showroom.  Very Impressive!  I have not been let down so far.  I did have to purchase new pots and pans for it to work.  My hard anodized ones did not have the steel bottom to make it acknowledge that a pan was sitting on it.  My cast iron skillet worked perfectly.  Anyway, a minor expense for the features you gain.  Not only is heat control great, clean-up is a breeze.  No more scrubbing to get the burned on residue off of the glass.  I am really enjoying this stove.
