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.

This is my second induction cooktop and I have used at least 5 brands of induction cooktops. The first one is over 10 years old and still works fine, but needed another. This unit has some real important features: - fan stays on after cooktop turned off - important for long life and to cool cook surface - 20 heat settings - a big deal if you like to cook - thicker electrical cable - thinner cords melt with heavy use at high temperature settings Some of the reviews of this product spoke negatively of the fan in the unit. Compared to other units I've used, this product is quieter and uses the fan more effectively. There's no economical way of getting around a fan in an induction cooktop. Compared to other induction cooktops, this one is just as fast at boiling water and has the same heat pattern. One improvement that would make the product easier to clean is to have a single surface for the cooking surface and the control area. The seam between these two surfaces on this unit will require additional attention for cleaning. This would not stop me from buying another unit, but the change would make it better. There is a good manual. It would be even better if it supported additional languages other than English or at least provided links to a website that offers manuals in different languages. Have only used for a few days, but appears to be a quality product of good value. Time will tell. Update: Have used this everyday since purchase and one thing to be careful of is how easy it is to put the unit in boil mode (highest power for 10 minutes). The buttons on the touch panel can accidentally be activated when moving a hand or arm over the panel.

Has worked fine for a few years. Like it a lot!
