True Induction Cooktop- Double Burner- Energy Efficient S2F2

A good starter Induction top. Not like a full range,
We are planning a kitchen overhaul and I bought one of these to let my wife experiment with induction cooking before we install a full induction range. Our home is all electric so gas isn't an option.
She loved it from the get go. Very little adjustment really since she had been cooking on an electric range for years.
But be aware, since this is 110 volt unit, it doesn't have near the power of a full 220 volt range. It splits 100% of its power between the two burners. You can run one burner at 100% and the other at zero.. ...both burners at 50%....or one at 70% and the other at 30%. You get the point. And...you really need 100% to sear or fry, so its mostly a one burner unit.
Still... We love it and when we get our new induction range, I'll move this portable unit to my RV.

Saved our life during renovation
I purchased this cooktop over a year ago on amazon, but for various reasons, never used it until recently. We are in the middle of a major renovation, and have had no range for a month. This cooktop has saved our lives. I have cooked every meal on it and really given it a workout.

I use my cast iron and cast enamel Le Creuset cookware and everything works beautifully. When you plug item in, it beeps but does not come on until you hit a button on whichever side you are using. Be aware that level 10 is the top level, but I have never had to go above 5 for a quick boil. Also, level 10 is the max for the entire cooktop: if one burner is on level 6, the max you can use on the other burner is 4. I start a burner on 5 and then adjust down after the pan is fully heated. I usually cook most items at 2 or 3 (except true frying). I just love this cooktop and now know that, even when my new range is installed, I will make room for this wonderful cooktop often.

Review UPDATE !!!
The last review I wrote was crappy because I paid extra $$ and it never got here when expected. The truth is that FedEX was the one that screwed up by leaving it at the store next to the UPS Store because it hadn't opened yet. There it sat for three days until I claimed it today.

I'm very content with the product.. but be aware that you can't run both burners at #10 at the same time because it would consume 3,600 watts and blow your circuit breaker. Instead it's to understand that the product is capable of taking the 1800watts and dividing it.. If you put the right on 7 the highest the left can go is 3 and vice versa.. Buyer needs to understand this and the reasoning behind it. My top of the line microwave only takes 2,000 and there's little chance it would work for long with my 5amp vacuum cleaner running on the same circuit too. I'm sure some dingbat will find a reason to complain about this but for me it makes perfect sense and should be also included in the...
