Cooking is my hobby, and I researched and planned my transition to an induction stove carefully. I've only had it for a few weeks, but it has passed all the tests I've thrown at it, from cooking for one to a dinner party for eight. The cooktop is fast, it maintains steady temperatures, and cleanup is a breeze. The oven is excellent too, handling the festive turkey beautifully. My only regret is that, although the touch controls work well, I miss the knobs on my old stove.
