Product review (4 stars): We thought our worst fears were realized when the stove was delivered and ...
We rather nervously ordered this stove from Amazon. We had never cooked on induction before, had never ordered something so expensive from Amazon before.  We thought our worst fears were realized when the stove was delivered and the box it was in  was practically destroyed.  There were holes in the side, the Styrofoam was smashed.  I am giving this 4 instead of 5 stars  for the packaging  that really wasn't study enough.  We had an existing electric cooktop.  It was very easy to pull out our old stove and swap this new one in. I was surprised  just how easy it was.  We have been cooking on the stove for 3 days and we LOVE it.  It heats pots with high iron content  in just a few seconds. We amaze all of our visitors with how quickly it brings water to a boil.  Adjusting the temperature up or down has near instant results on the cooking temperature. This is such a a huge improvement over the traditional radiant electric stove we were using.  One note on pots-  the stove is a bit fussy.  We bought a new frying pan  that claimed to be "induction ready".  Its iron content was so low that the stove made weird noises,  with the conductors turning on and off in protest.  Switching to  pots with higher iron content  solved the problem. The stove is easy to clean  and cools down quickly.  Cooking is once again a delight,
