"i received compensation for this review but the review is my own" 

a few of the negative reviews are more complaints about induction cooktops in general and not really issues with *this* cooktop. you can hear clicking and fans running, but they are pretty quiet. this really is a great induction cooktop!

pros
works better than expected, heats items fast, no lost heat. controls are well thought out and have nice features: linking zones, quick settings, simmer, etc. read the instructions, it really is a well thought out, refined experience.

cons
magnetic knob is not very responsive, using fingers works much better. each element has 15 steps, it would be nice if there were more, but this is the same with all stoves like this.
