I read a million reviews and settled on this induction cooktop. After it was installed we bought an All Clad saucepan and it took almost 8 minutes to boil a few cups of water. We had buyers remorse but then realized it was the pot after using a cast iron pot next. The saucepan went back and we ordered a new set of stainless cookware and are loving the cooktop. Very precise! Also, we first only used the power boil feature and the humming sound was a bit ofd but unless you are using that feature it is quiet. I enjoy cooking with this very much.
