Product review (5 stars): Much Better Than Conventional Flat Stove
I have had this stove for 1 year now and I am still very impressed.  The pan heats up instantly and cools down just as fast at a gas stove.  My old conventional flattop stove took forever to cool down.  The best thing about an induction stove is that it is super easy to clean.  The stove surface gets too hot to touch but is still a fraction of the temperature of the old conventional stove surface.  When food spills over onto the stove surface it does not bake on to the surface, it just wipes clean with soap and water.  No more scraping with razor blades!  I have not had any problems with scratching the stove top.  The absence of any protruding knobs also looks great and is much easier to clean.  Only one minor complaint. The element area is marked very faintly with a white speckled paint that is difficult to see.  This makes it a bit difficult to see where to center the pain on the element.
