Product review (1 stars): Frustrating controls
The induction technology seems to be still working out its bugs, and unfortunately many people are having to buy without actually trying out the controls. Here are some things we discovered about the Miele after it was installed.

1) It can take anywhere from a minimum of 3 to 7 punches of the touch control buttons to get the burner on and to the level you wish. You have press to turn the whole unit on, press to turn the specific burner on, and press for the specific setting either once more (for very high or very low) or multiple times if you want a medium setting like 5.

2) The controls are not at all intuitive.  No guest at our home (we tested about a dozen) was successful in operating the stove without a tutorial.  The markings on the touch pad do not give you a clue about what should be pressed and in what order.  You cannot disable the lock on the whole unit, and few people realized that the stove unit needed to be unlocked before you go to a specific burner.

3) The controls are not very sensitive.  Some people's fingers produced very inconsistent responses for some of the touch screen buttons. Almost everyone made the mistake, when first trying, of not holding their finger on the pad long enough for it to respond.  It takes a lot longer than most touch pads on most other devices.  But for some fingers it took multiple presses on a button to get a response and in some cases would not respond at all.  There was a lack of touch responsivity  about 30% of the time.  The technical support staff, when called, recommended changing the room lighting  (it's light sensitive) and "using the middle finger" instead of the index finger, but these did not really help.  There is actually a youtube video showing some of these problems with another model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KItZaAM8Jtk.

4) The unit and all the burners arbitrarily shut off quite frequently. A misplaced touch can do it, as can the presence of some object on the top of the range.  Then you need to go through the multiple punch routine to get it going again.

5) The top itself, while shiny and cool looking, is also so slick that pots and pans can easily slide around, sometimes sloshing out their contents.

The good news is that Miele did agree to take the unit back and give us a refund. Still I urge the industry to rethink the controls on these units and make more working units available to customers to try out in showrooms to see if it really suits them.
