Used to have the 500W version and it was fantastic. Unfortunately they don’t sell it anymore so I replaced it with the 700W. It’s a little more draw than my system can handle but I was happy to see it’s still continuous cycle, so I could still run it at 500W anyway. Except… it’s not continuous cycle. It is very much cycle/pulse on and off. So, do not believe the product description. This thing is crap.Edit: stopped working after about 5 uses. Periodically it would buzz (i.e. electromagnetic field coming on) for less than a second then stop. I wish they’d bring back the old 500W model (the round one, not the square silver one they sell now); that thing was awesome.

I have tried many smaller induction burners. This is by far the best. It also has a small enough footprint that it doesn’t take up a ton of space. But large enough to accommodate a small pan or a decent sized Moka pot.Perfect addition to your kitchen or when you travel!

For being only a 700W induction unit it does what you should expect. Espresso pot perfect application to the 8 inch pot with 1 qt water. Reasonable heating times. Espresso pot took around 1.5 minutes. Good English manual listing simple instructions and specifications. Some may not like using anything larger than 7 inch diameter as it can cover the control buttons and display. The unit has such basic functions (power level or temp) that I did not find it an issue with the 8 inch pot. Certainly if you want to hear up several quarts of water in a large pot or use a 10-12 inch fry pan this was not designed for that application. Compact, portable and light. Lower power consumption than full size 1800W units. If this fits your application it’s a good choice. Only ran it for 15 minutes test heating several things before writing this. Time will tell how it holds up in the long run.

I bought this to replace a standard hot plate for use with the bellman steamer, and couldn't be happier. The cook surface stays cool and it heats the steamer quickly. I'm able to steam consecutive mugs of milk with little to no wait time. Notably, the Bellman steamer has a small diameter and I found that most other induction cooktops would not sense it and therefore not work at all.

The photo was not dead-accurate but who cares?Works perfectly with a 100mm moka. (This is a rare feature, and is prized) The “212degF” setting seems dead-balls accurate, and if you are not paying attention, it self-terminates at boil-dry, one must simply perform a hard reset before reuse. The tiny lip contains a few mL of spillage. The fan only runs when it is needed. the remarkably low amperage requirement is yet another selling point. I’d buy it again.

This is a great IH stove for travel or camping. It’s nice and small, portable and light in weight. Its fan is not too loud and the buttons are flush, could be a bit bigger for those of us that are older and can’t see well. The three controls are simple and somewhat intuitive, but would have loved to have a bit more buttons with dedicated settings/power levels. But the best part is that it holds a constant temp/power output and doesn’t cycle on and off at the highest settings like other IH stoves. Nice and easy to clean glass top.All is all this stove was quite well thought out. A few very minor grips are the size of the LED numbers, which is small and when seen through the glass top is a bit wavy and not very clear. I also wish that the beeps were less loud or had a different less piercing sound. I feel they pick the most high pitched shrieking noise for the beeps. Also if they could make the glass top completely smooth and have the colored etching embedded under the cooking surface, would be nice. Keeps from getting scratched off or from getting food and liquids from sticking to it. Other than that, I really like this IH stove.

This thing is pretty great, but I am concerned about some noises which seem to be getting louder and more frequent. It's not the fan but something like capacitors which occasionally start to shriek like they're being violently murdered.Edit: knocking off a star because (as another reviewer noted) the power consumption peaks at 500W (see pics). Still, at least the setting is pretty accurate unlike many other devices.Edit 2: Fewer screeching noises after a few months. The unit has been 100% reliable so far although the buttons sometimes fail to work on the first touch when the surface is hot. This may be related to my use of a kettle which covers the buttons during operation. I wish they sold a variant of this thing with a slightly larger diameter; say 9 inches/700W.

description says it uses standard Australian household outlets. IT DOES NOT FIT, because the ground on the power cord is much bigger and won't fit in standard Australian outlets. Need to call an electrician to install dedicated outlet in the kitchen

This little induction cook top is perfect for RV or tiny house use. This heats evenly instead of in a small crescent shape under the pan. It also reduces power evenly instead of pulsing full power on and off at different duty cycles to emulate lower power the way cheaper inductive burners do. If you set this one to 200 watts it will make a perfect grilled cheese for example without burning. This makes this the best inductive stove you can currently buy for use with inverters and batteries, or indeed smaller generators.I tested it with different power supplies, of note is that it works perfectly fine on modified sine wave inverters. Not that I would ever recommend those, but if they are what you've got, this works. Certainly benefit for an RV or car camping sized appliance.Given that this company produces hardware for commercial use, and in fact this is considered a commercial duty unit for embedding in restaurant tables, I fully expect it to last a very long time. I will return to update this review when it eventually fails as all things do.Another note, my particular unit has very faint reflective branding and print. It's not obvious like in the stock photos or indeed the other reviews. The print is all mirror reflective and the unit appears mostly as a black glass disk. I prefer it this way so I'm happy. Not sure if they are all this way or not. I got mine as a warehouse deal which is likely where the wear on the chrome ring came from at the back edge. Again doesn't bother me and is unrelated to the product as new. Someone who tried it and returned it likely slid a large heavy cast iron across the edge and wore it off. It is plastic. This burner has what appears to be a 90mm fan inside. Unfortunately it does not vary the speed up and down with the power settings. I would prefer if it would run slower at the lower power settings, but that's a very minor enhancement.I put an LED light behind it so that you can see the coil layout under the glass. It is a full copper coil in a guide as claimed by the company. This is a very good thing for the durability and efficiency of this device. It should work well with lots of ferrous metal cookware and will not be as picky as cheaply made induction burners are.I have not put it on a scale but it feels like it weighs about three pounds.I've now used this for a while and cooked a lot of different things with it. This is the best inductive burner I've ever used. Hands down. Not only does it work perfectly with cast iron as you would expect, it also works very well with stainless steel cookware that a magnet can stick to. Most inductive burners are picky and will E1 on you if the pan is not ferric enough. The reason is that the energy dissipates into the pan. If you put a less magnetic pan on an inductive burner the transfer of energy is not efficient and the stove itself heats up. THIS burner even works with 3 series stainless. That is, the really super high quality kind that barely have any pull when you touch a magnet to them. This absolutely shocked me. Mt thinnest stainless mess kit made of 3 series stainless that a magnet will not even come close to sticking to actually works with this thing and it doesn't complain. That's nuts. Yes, you can only boil water or quickly stir something like canned corn in it since the thin metal will almost instantly heat up and burn the food, but the real point is that this induction burner is so well made and has such good driver circuitry that there's just no way you will have any trouble at all with normal cookware.I can tell that the larger BangDun burners would be most impressive indeed going by this little one.I absolutely love this thing. I've been having fun cooking things on it with my small lodge cast iron skillet (the 6.5" wolf one, it's perfect for this!) and larger stainless pots. Cooking crispy yet not overcooked fish is a breeze, perfectly golden pancakes and grilled cheese with no issue keeping the heat exact. Perfectly cooked eggs with very little effort, and no more first egg is perfect but the pan is too hot for the second one. I couldn't be more pleased other than maybe having a variable speed fan. The capacitive buttons are on the cooking surface and by the nature of the cooking vessels they can and will press the buttons themselves. This however was though about too, if all the buttons are covered at once it will ignore it. You can set a large pot right over them and nothing happens. I like the ability to embed this so I wouldn't have it any other way.I was able to trigger an E5 overheat error once, and not by doing any of the cooking I've been doing which includes deep frying on this. No, it was a true torture test. I put my small lodge skillet on it coated in oil and set it to 600. With nothing in it, the goal was to polymerize a coating of oil into the skillet. Seasoning a pan is usually done in an oven at a very high temperature. Not only did the entire pan get to seasoning temperature, but it only gave the error after the second coat and running this way for over 45 minutes.I was able to remove the pan and place it back and it resumed right away meaning that it's not picky like others I've used where it will just not let you cook anymore until the device is completely cool. This one just keeps on trucking.My cast iron slides around on this. The way to deal with that is to get a thin silicone pad and put it on top. The buttons work right through it and the cookware no longer slides. Get the kind where you can see the fiberglass cloth inside of otherwise transparent silicone. This also prevents as much heat from being transferred back to the stove. Given how efficient this thing is with less magnetic cookware the additional millimeter of height means nothing to it.I'll keep updating this over time.TLDR; You've just stumbled upon the best small inductive cooktop EVER. Just buy it, it's perfect.
