Empava 24" Electric Stove Induction Cooktop with 4 Power Boost Burners Smooth Surface Vitro Ceramic Glass in Black

My advice- avoid Noxton induction and electric cooktops. I am saving you 2 bad experiences! But this is exactly what I wanted: high efficiency, space saving and easy clean-up. I love the flat surface as I can use it to place items from the oven to cool. I enjoy no more knobs to clean around or under. I can boil water in under a minute. Furthermore, the electrician said the wiring was more up to the standard that he would expect as opposed to the Noxton items. Furthermore, it uses a standard 40 AMP breaker as opposed to some odd number. Enjoy the performance!!

I've been cooking on portable 2 burner hotplate for a few years. We just remodeled our kitchen and I bought the 2 burner cooktop first, but luckily you can use it as a portable before installing it. I found that it just wasn't powerful enough and when you brought one burner up to a high temperature, it lowered the other burner - so you could never have both burners at maximum. This four top was the solution. Being a 240 volt product it can run the burners on high. Pros: Smooth surface; no buttons to clean around. Can be installed flush with counter so becomes a part of counter If you put things on it when not in use it beeps if you hit the power button Three steps to turn on. First press power, then the burner and then the heat level Countdown timer to shut off a pot when you want it off. No more burnt rice. Cons The two burner showed the heat in watts. This was easier for me to understand. I still haven't figured out how hot is a "7" or a "5" Surface scratches easily. We have a couple scratches, probably from cleaning, but not too noticeable The burners turn on and off to keep the heat steady - you can hear them cycling. This is my first time cooking on induction and I wish the heat was steady or cycled faster so you didn't notice it going on and off. To turn off the burner you need to press the button repeatedly to step down the heat setting. If there is an instant off, I haven't figured it out. However, if you are just using one burner, the power button will turn off the entire stove in one press. A little noisy, the fan runs when heating. A little noisy, the pots and pans I bought crackle. But I guess that is a function of the cookware, not the stove All and all, I love it.
