Product review (4 stars): Easy to use and reduced our cooking time by a third!
Purchased this to replace an old Tappan range top from 1987. The package was shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. The instructions were very clear and it was relatively easy to install. I did have to cut a larger hole in my countertop, but there's no way I could have expected it to just drop right in. Cooking on this is a real dream. We are able to cook faster and the induction feature makes our electric range "responsive" like a gas cooktop. In other words, changes to the heat levels on the burners are instant and immediately noticed in the pots. We primarily use this with our cast iron skillet, but we also have a set of Emeril stainless steel pots with a mixed copper base and they work fine with the induction, too.

There are two reasons I am giving this a 4-star instead of 5-star review. The first is because of the heat shield requirement underneath the cooktop. The angled heat shield has forced us to remove the drawer we had under our old cooktop, costing us valuable drawer space in our small kitchen. However, it has pushed me to attempt to build a pull-out cutting board, so there's that. Secondly, it seems that the sensors on the settings panel will sense anything put on top of them, which is annoying unless you use the Panel Lock function all the time. This means I can't rush and put down a spoon or a plate right in front of me when cooking because the thing will start sounding like a bus in reverse, reminding me of that time a bus backed over me in a parking lot.
