I have gone through too many Woks to even think about... they warp, non stick coating chips or peels... or they aren't non stick all when they are supposed to be. Finally I threw my last and final wok into the recycle and bit the bullet by spending some money on this.... I quickly forgot how much I spent on it and absolutely love it! heats instantly, great non stick surface, easy clean up and as a bonus frees up stove top space while prepping multiple items... cant go wrong!
