This is our first venture into induction cooking and so far it has been great, my wife was concerned about the complexity of some induction cooktops and ranges. When this arrived she felt much more comfortable about this choice. It is simple but has a lot of features that others didn't have. it is so nice to be able to use the oven and not have to be in the same room to make minor adjustments in cooking temperature. We often cook recipes that require multiple temperature changes during the cooking process. So far we can't be more pleased. If we had a complaint it would be that the small cooking element is very small, but  it fits our small sauce pans so I guess it is ok.
