We like the stove. It is more efficient than the typical electric stove and easier to clean and maintain than the gas stove. These were the reasons we got the stove. But, we were surprised by how loud the humming noise was when the stove is used. Our pots are pretty good, quite heavy and have a really flat bottom, but still the noise is quite noticeable. On balance I think we made the right choice and the noise is a trade off compared to the work involved in cleaning a gas stove.

But, buyers should know that induction stoves make a humming noise due to the very nature of the technology. We were taken  by surprise. Most reviews don't mention it and the product listing does not mention it.
