We have had this cook top for just over 6 months and it is amazing if you have the correct pans.  We find that some of our "induction ready" pans work consistently with the stove top while other pans work for a couple of minutes then just randomly turn off in the middle of cooking.  We eventually replaced those pans but it was an added expense.  Now we have a set of pans that work perfectly and we love the cooktop.  The temperature control is great and the surface cleans up very easily... both of these are huge improvements over our prior cooktop.
