I've been wanting to own an induction range and this unit met all my expectations. It is way faster than a gas stove and cuts out heat just as fast, maybe even faster as the stove itself does not get hot (other than from the pot or pan on it). Spills don't burn, so clean up is way easier. All my pots and pans were magnetic, except for one, so I didn't have to buy a new set. The Cafe brand is very well built and the quality shows.
