Product review (2 stars): Induction is Great...when it works!
PROS - Induction cooktop technology is truly amazing and the only heat that is given off is the heat in the pot/pan. The induction side takes less than half the time to heat the pan and boil water as the regular elements, and is overwhelmingly faster than the highest btu gas burner in my previous cooktop.

CONS - I wish I bought a full induction cooktop.  I also wish I bought a unit with no stainless border trim.  Keeping the unit clean is a major hassle, as the stainless border is easily scratched by pots and crumbs and spilled liquids constantly get caught underneath it.  The touch sensors do not like to get wet and the entire unit becomes disabled until it is wiped dry.

OVERALL - The pros outweigh the cons and I will never go back to gas or standard electric.  However, better options exist.  Get a full induction with a completely smooth top that is easier to clean.

I downgraded my original review of 4 stars to 2 because now the entire cooktop shuts down when I try to use both induction burners simultaneously.  Based on my reviews of this product online, I've seen similar people with the same problem and have lost complete confidence in it.  It is getting thrown out and replaced with a better brand that I will purchase a 10 yr warranty for.

Despite my downgrade, I can not even imagine having to 'downgrade' to standard electric or gas.  It is more than worth the extra money in my opinion.
