Product review (4 stars): I would not hesitate to recommend an induction stove to anyone
I would not hesitate to recommend an induction stove to anyone.  However, there are some bugs that need to be worked out with this model.  Mainly, the pans have to be place PERFECTLY for the stove to register the pan and start heating it.  You would think that a perfectly centered pan would be the best, but some of the burners require the pan to be off center to work.  And there is no pattern with the burners or the pans.  So, we just twirl around the pans until they start heating.  I wish we had all those seconds back that we have wasted.  The 2nd issue is the loud chirping sound that the larger burners emit.  Other reviewers have complained about this.  We have become accustomed to it.  The inconvenience overcomes the advantages that come with an induction stove: #1 The burners cool off almost instantly (great conversation piece when guest come over), #2 3 inches of water boils in about 2 minutes, #3 The burners turn off automatically after you remove the pan, #4 Due to the cool nature of the cooking top, there is less "baked on" crud to cleanup.
