Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop Burner, Induction Hot Plate with LCD Sensor Touch 1800 Watts, Silver 9600LS/BT-200DZ

This is an amazing induction cooktop. We originally ordered the double-burner model of this same brand to take to a vacation home we have. It will replace a double-burner gas stove. We loved the double so much, we got a single-burner version of the same stove to use in our camper. The top(s) - this one and the other one — work very well and they’re very intuitive to use, though they both come with a great instruction manual that you should read before you use the tops because there are things to be aware of for proper use. For instance, only certain types of pots and pans are suitable for use with an induction cooktop, and you can cook by level (level one, level two, etc.) OR you can cook by setting the temperature that you want to cook at — 225, 350, etc. There a setting for boil, and I can boil six cups of water on either top in 5 minutes flat from start to finish. The cooking levels are easy to use, but if you take time to learn what temperature works best (for you) for the various things you cook — particularly if they’re finicky (like doing eggs well), you’ll find there’s nothing better than the precision with which you can cook on these cooktops. Time to buy one for my daughter!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Let me start by saying I RARELY write a review. But after using this for 5 months, I felt compelled. In brief, all I have to say about this product is "Why did I wait so long to get one???" I love cooking - it is my happy place that takes me away from stresses of work (Bonus: you end up with good stuff to eat in the end). My husband and I have a wonderful gas stove but I was curious about the induction method. After doing some investigation, we were both left breathless at the expense of buying an induction stove/oven unit that would fit the space we have. We weren't willing to spend that kind of money, especially if we really didn't yet have experience working with induction. So I did more homework and learned about Duxtop. Seemed like a bargain and we could test out the technology. A bargain doesn't begin to explain what you get for your money. This unit is AWESOME. I use it far more often than I do my gas stove. It is efficient, works exactly as advertised, the learning curve is immediate. It has a sleek design that looks great, doesn't take up a lot of space, and it works with my cookware. Boiling time is lightning fast, control over cooking speeds is fantastic (there is a lot of control with gas and I was worried about this - turns out that this is nothing to worry about), and gradation of cooking power works well for my purposes. Others have cited that the fan noise is bothersome; there is fan noise but it's not terrible and certainly not a deal-breaker. The cooktop cools very quickly and clean up is easy. After each use, I marvel at how it looks sort of "brand new, out of the box" clean after a simple wipe. My husband and I are still contemplating replacing our gas unit with a full induction unit but that thought is way on the back burner now (see what I did there?) since this inexpensive burner is a staple in our kitchen now. Best of both worlds? I know, I know....gas isn't good for you. But we're using it so less frequently than before ('cept for baking). Bottom line for me: ONE OF THE BEST PURCHASES EVER.

We are using this cooktop for all stovetop cooking. Our gas bill has decreased by $25/mo. We didn't need to buy new cookware, since our Stainless Steel cookware works just fine. We tested it first and a magnet stuck to it. We find that it boils pasta water as fast as gas, and it cooks just like gas, without the methane fumes. It is also much easier to clean than our gas stove. A quick tip for cooking with uncoated stainless steel: warm the pan before adding ingredients--it helps a great deal to reduce sticking. Another feature of this cooktop we enjoy is that it will keep a pot of soup warm much better than gas. Gas can't be set too low. This cooktop has a better range of low temps. Definitely worth the money.

We purchased the Duxtop induction hot plate to use for about 5 weeks while our kitchen renovation was underway. The kitchen is done and we still use it! The Duxtop induction hot plate was our first foray into induction cooking. We were so impressed with having more accurate temperature control and at how much faster water boils. My husband uses it to fry his ground turkey and chicken sausage saying it works better than the electric range. I use it when I need to boil water for pasta or to cook rice. I took off one star because after only 5 weeks of light use, the cooling fan went on the fritz. I contacted the manufacturer through Amazon and they were very responsive to my issue. As requested, I sent a photo of the cord cut and the information sticker on the underside of the device. A replacement hot plate arrived two days later. Our hope is that the replacement will last for a long time with careful usage 2-3 times a week. In fact, I bought this model based on another review which said they used theirs daily for years. I hope the replacement will do just that! If not, I will update the review. Overall, we are very impressed with the quality, value, practical size and other aspects of durability. We enjoy faster, more efficient cooking of several of our food staples. The customer service was excellent at resolving our cooling fan issue. I would encourage anyone who experiences a problem to use the link under your orders to contact the manufacturer if your 30 day Amazon return window has expired. Because of our positive experience with induction cooking, we are considering purchasing a full size induction range for the kitchen in a new house we are building. 👍🏼

Been using this for over two years!! Absolutely essential in our kitchen (and dining table when we have hot pot nights).

This is a great unit for quick and portable cooking needs. I use a 10" cast iron frying pan with it 95% of the time and it heats up and works very well. The heat control is amazing and works as designed. I never have to worry about overheating, it maintains the perfect temperature once the cast iron is heated (takes about 8-10 mins). As a result, my eggs turn out perfectly and the exact same way every time without drying them out or having them stick. It works very well with pots as well. The quick boil and other features are handy. Again, very simple to use. It's also very easy to clean the top and it's nice and light weight for easy storage. Overall, after a few months or almost daily use, I have no complaints. It's a little pricier then the other Duxtop models, but having more heat control is worth it I think, depending on your cooking needs.

Busque en diversas tiendas en México (nunca había tenido una parrilla de inducción). Me decidí comprarla por las reseñas de los otros clientes. Deseaba una parrilla de inducción porque acabo de poner paneles solares en casa. Es fácil de utilizar, me gusta que al cambiar los niveles rápido calienta o disminuye el calor. Tenemos varios meses usándola en casa. Muy rápido calienta en comparación de la estufa y produce menos calor en la casa (útil en los meses de verano). La recomiendo ampliamente. Lo único que no sé es la duración de vida útil de la parrilla, ojala sea mucho tiempo el que funcione.

Cooktop and control panel are a flat glass surface that is easy to clean. Control panel buttons are 'touch' capacitive sensitive (like a smart phone screen) as opposed to pushable bubble buttons (which I don't like as much, the plastic covering the metal bubble can break/wear under heavy use or from contact with something sharp). On plugging in the unit, the cooktop fan starts, but shuts off after about 20 seconds if the unit is not powered on. The fan runs continuosly while cooking, the fan is not loud, but you will hear it. Heat (or lack or cooling) often is a cause of failing electronics so I'm not worried about the longevity of this cooktop. The fan also stays on after cooking is done, until the cooktop temperature falls below a threshold. I don't mind the fan (noise) as it also is an indicator that the unit is still hot or in use (kids). The induction coil does make whine noises as the cooking power is turned on to energize the coil, or as the cooking power is adjusted up or down, but not while the power level is steady. The coil noise is quiet and is (barely) only noticeable when standing at the cooktop - I understand this noise is typical for induction cooktops. It's 1800W - boils water 2 Litres of water quite quick, it warmed 12 quarts of cold tap water in a tall 9.5" diameter base stock pot in about 15 mins, and took another 45 mins (1 hour in total) to bring that water to a boil. Cooking can be done by adjusting power levels in 0.5 steps from 0.5(min) to 10(max). It also cooks by temperature, but I only used cook by power level. Cooktop has a timer in hours and minutes, after which the induction coil power is shutoff, fan will keeping running until the unit cools off. If the pot is removed from the cooktop, it powers off if the pot is not returned after about 30 seconds. Cooktop also does not engage the induction coil if it cannot detect a pot (do the magnet test on your pots/pans before buying). ETL(us) Listed. Purchased on AMAZON.CA in April 2020 for home use in Canada. Only issues I have encountered or can think of are minor: - no 3-prong plug-in, it's a 2-prong polarized plug. The unit itself is all plastic and glass (top and button panel), both materials are non-conductive so the need for a grounded chassis doesn't seem to be needed. - The fan noise may be related to the fan not having as much clearance between it and the counter surface, so the air flow is more turbulent, but again I don't have issue with the fan noise. - induction cooktop would not work with one set of steel pots that magnets stick good to the pots sides and the inside base, however, they do fail the test of holding a magnet to the outside bottom (bonded aluminum?) base, which is the pot's issue - not the induction cooktop. [May 2020 corrected review spelling and stock pot size, it was 12qt not 16qt]

Funciona muy bien, para hervir agua para la pasta es mucho más rápido que le estufa de gas. El único inconveniente es que a veces emite un chillido muy agudo casi insoportable, lo bueno es que es intermitente y se quita después de un rato. En resumen , es una gran opción para complementar la estufa de gas.
