I switched from a gas cooktop that consistently made pan handles too hot to touch before the water would start to boil. This cooktop boils water so much quicker, and because all the heat is generated in the bottom of the pan, the handles stay cool.

The control knobs have the temp spin with the knob, which threw me off a bit at first, but it was easy enough to get used to. The knobs feel sturdy & the digital display gives you a number for how high it is set, so you have both to help you get consistent results.

Cleaning is also a breeze with the flat surface to work with.
