Bought this to replace our old radiant glasstop stove, which we'd always hated. We had always dreamed of a gas stove but it would have required a full kitchen remodel--just too expensive. However after cooking on this new stove, I have to say it is better than gas. The temperature adjusts just as quickly as gas, and you have more control over the temperature than on many gas stoves, where you basically have to eyeball the flame. On our old radiant cooktop, the temperature was extremely difficult to control and we often burned food because of it. With the induction cooktop, it heats the pan so evenly and you can make a pot go from a rapid boil to not boiling in a few seconds. I love that the induction burners don't get super hot - no fire hazard and easy to clean. We did have to replace our cookware but we were aware of that going in, and it was well worth it.
