Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop, Countertop Burner Induction Hot Plate with LCD Sensor Touch 1800 Watts, Black 9610LS BT-200DZ

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.

I would recommend this induction cooktop to anyone except my worst enemy. Bought this April 27, 2022 for $112.82. 1800 W is powerful but not so powerful it throws a 15 amp kitchen breaker. Keep in mind this is an induction cooktop so cheap cookware without the proper base wont work with it.We bought the 3 year extended warranty knowing we were going to have heavy use with this and looks like we wont need it in the end.We have used this at least over 500 times in about 3 years in our kitchen as a sub for our sub-par old built-in induction cooktop from the 90s that is too small to put a big pot of boiling water on and cost over $3k to replace with something better. This cooktop has always worked great. For dishes needing high heat it is much better than out regular electric stovetop. It has 2 useful temperature options - 0 to 10 in .5 increments, or a temperature setting from low 100s for keeping warm, or higher to 375+ to frying some homemade cut fries - it does in fact do it all. We have sauteed, fried, stir fried, blackened, made many gravies and sauces on this.This is seriously worth the money if your cooktop is weak and/or too small. It used to be the sidekick, now it is the main squeeze.I did hours of research. This is the one. From my experience with this single product from this company,I would ignore the other marketing claims other cooktops on Amazon make. Duxtop is an established company, not a fly by night company selling cheap wares designed to fail.

So far VERY GOOD!Bigger than I envisioned and works beautifully! Easy to see blue backlighting to enhance numbers.Nice “boil” button and “keep warm” button which is being used A LOT!Heats up quickly and cools down quickly!Only had it for a day but using it frequently and it's been a real Champ! LOVE it!!Came very quickly!Thanks for sending so rapidly!

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. 👍🏼
