I have another one of these hobs/induction heating elements that I really like so when I saw the chance to grab a similar model, I went for it, and I'm glad I did. These things are great for quick heat and I find myself using mine all the time, especially for those odd pans that work "ok" on a ceramic glass top but risk scratching or scorching them, like all my cast iron and two pieces in carbon steel: an 8" French skillet and a full size wok, and they all work great, especially the wok. Of course, all of these have some iron content that makes them function on induction burners. Glass or Aluminum does not work. I did hesitate at first on how to get the temperature right on this unit when starting up, since it differs slightly from my other one, but it is totally intuitive and even has some suggested cooking "modes" that correspond to heat settings (soup, hot pot, steam, boil, for example). All in all, I don't leave that many 5 star reviews, especially for products that don't have many hours of use to evaluate durability, but if the price is right and this one holds up with use, it should definitely be on your list of items to compare. I actually prefer the fan noise on this one over my other one, which can be a little loud (they all have a fan to deal with the heat generation). This one is much quieter.

As my first Induction experience, this was great. It worked amazingly well... heated my cast iron and carbon steel skillets up really fast. The portability of the burner was nice because I could cook at my counter and look outside or into the living room. I can also use this at my camper using an outside outlet which is really handy when grilling. Love it.The operation of which buttons to push did take a little learning and the manual was pretty clear, but it is not entirely intuitive... I view this as a feature to keep little hands from creating little fires. There is a fan that is kind of like a whisper: hearable, but not at all obtrusive... kind of like a quiet laptop fan.I took away a star because the temperature can only be set to certain settings and nothing in between. There is no fiddling to get the right temperature like on a full size range/stovetop. When I looked up the temperature to cook breakfast sausage, it was in a temperature range between two of the settings on the cooktop. I went back and forth between 180 deg and 260 deg because 200-240 was the recommended temp for cooking sausage. Call it annoying or fun, but now I get to learn some pretty specific settings to cook my foods. Fortunately, the temperature changes all happen as fast as a gas stove. I would definitely recommend a bit more flexibility in the temperature settings or at least narrow down the range. Personally, I would like additional settings just below the flash points of various cooking oils, etc.Bottom line is that this is definitely a very nice kitchen addition. It would be great for travel cooking and dorm cooks, and patio cooking, too.

This review is for "1800W Induction Cooktop Portable Electric Stove with 8 Preset Functions & 8 Temp Settings - 2 Cooking Modes, Timer, Child Lock for Tiny Kitchen, Apartment, Camping, RV Countertop Burner".This is my first experience with an induction burner, and I dig it so far.You're not going to be able to use too large or too small of a cooking pot on this burner - the area is very specific. It's a little tough figuring out if you're actually activating the "buttons" you're trying to hit, and there's specific temperature points that it can be set for. If you want a temperature that's in-between? You're out of luck (I'd love some kind of physical buttons/knobs both for a little feedback and also a little more fine control of heat level, but that might just be me).It did heat up very quickly and cooled down very quickly, which made it easy to get it put away when I was done.

Out of the box, this induction cooktop is a similar size to the existing induction cooktop I already own (a well-known brand D****p which I’ve used daily for 2 years).This RoneKit induction cooktop looks sleeker, as it has touch-sensitive controls, while my existing cooktop has pressure-sensitive buttons. However, the controls on the RoneKit are more difficult to use as it takes some trial and error to touch exactly the right spot. Like, after you power it on, you have to tap a tiny specific spot to select menu mode or temperature mode, otherwise the stupid thing just blinks (I wish it defaults to one mode, that’ll be lots easier!)I cooked a pot of beans. Bringing the 2 quarts of water to a boil was easy. Then I had to keep the beans at a low simmer for 1/2 hour. That wasn’t possible. When I chose the lowest temperature setting (140° or “Warm”), the water didn’t simmer. Then I chose the next temperature setting up (180° or “Slow Cook”) and the water went into a boil, much more than a simmer. I needed an in-between 160° temperature, but the RoneKit doesn’t have that (unlike my current induction cooktop).So, if you need to keep liquids on a low simmer, this cooktop won’t work. But if you’re just boiling, steaming or frying, it should be fine. Just know the cooktop only gives you 8 fixed temperature settings between 140 and 460 degrees, while my existing cooktop has 15 (but it also costs twice as much as the RoneKit).(BTW, in the photos you’ll see a red silicon mat below the sauce pan. Neither the red mat nor the sauce pan comes with the RoneKit)
