Product review (4 stars): Great induction cooktop
We have only had this for a month now, but are definitely enjoying using it. We were worried about reliability and the buttons based on the reviews, and were reassured by where we bought it that they have not had reliability issues with it in their experience. The appliance store had a good range of induction cooktops and this one had the best layout for us. The center burner is not as strong as some, but it still boils water ridiculously quickly. We liked that the 2 middle sized burners were up front as these are the ones we use all the time. It easily fits 3 12" pans. We tried out the buttons at the Miele store before using it - they are consistently responsive but do require a bit of patience to wait for the response. Basically every other induction cooktop we have used had buttons that respond faster. The ones with sliders were much faster to use as well, but overall they work fine and layout was the winning factor for us. We are somewhat messy cooks, and we have not had problems with the stove turning off for food on the controls. It does beep if you set a spoon or pot over them though - you just have to remove it and it is fine.
