Product review (5 stars): Awesome and FAST!
I got this cook top for my mom who is 83 and was having trouble with the gas stove. I was really worried about fires or her burning herself since she is up in years. This is everything I had hoped for! Had to buy new cookware but that was a minor inconvenience -- certainly not outweighing the peace-of-mind I get with this stove and my elderly mother. I can boil water in less than a minute which makes for quick cooked veggies for lunches and dinners. The cook top does hold heat but nothing as bad as what a gas or electric stove holds.

I'd say the only down-side of this is that my mom forgets to put the pan on the cook top prior to turning it on. When she forgets, the unit automatically shuts itself off. Then she complains the stove doesn't work. Other than that, it's really awesome. When I redo my kitchen, I'm switching from my gas cook top to this -- it's THAT GOOD!
