i only received this cooktop a week ago, and initially was intimidated. after cooking a couple meals, it has proven to be efficient and easy to use. the pans heat up pretty quick, and while there is a slight noise during warming up, once the set temperature is met it mellows out. the timer function is extremely handy. i'm a person who often forget to turn of burners, so this cooktop will be a lifesaver.
