Amazingly

This cooktop works amazingly well. The induction is amazingly fast to heat up. With the speed of this at boiling things and the speed of the empava oven, I no longer need a microwave. I rarely use higher than 2 on the burner settings. The burner timers is also a great feature. To unlock the Locked function, just hold down the lock button for a long time and it will unlock.

I hope I like it. Received it and hooked it up BUT have to BUY induction cookware. Would have been nice to be informed about special cookware. I hope the cooktop works but will have to wait until I BUY an induction pan. Will let you know.

INduction without Regrets!

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!!

Quiet, efficient, powerful, convenient

We replaced a failed Summit 24inch cooktop with the Empava and were delighted with the performance. The Empava fans are very much quieter than the Summit. The power range is great: the Empava large element boost is more powerful than the Summit, and the small element low is lower without the short duty cycling. The ability to set individual timers for each element plus an overall alarm is very useful. Tea for two in 3 minutes in a cast iron tea pot.Plus the usual induction cooktop advantages: quick on/off, energy efficient , safe surfaces.

What's not to love?

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

Heats well. Buzzes a bit, but that's normal for induction. Good buy at less than 400.

Good for the price

Minor complaints:1) It doesn't have 10 power levels, it has 5 power levels, and the pulses the power on and off at the lowest level to effectively reduce it further. The problem with this is that the power output for setting L (one step below 1) through 5 are all the same, which makes burning pancakes quite easy. The easy work around for this is to use an induction plate between your induction cooktop and your induction pan to help even out the heating cycles. And no, I don't have thin pans, I have triple layer aluminum core pans. Because there is an effective work around I don't find this a major issue, but it is a definite drawback. All they needed to do was make the power pulse on and off at a faster rate rather than 4 seconds on, then 4 seconds off. My old induction cooktop pulsed on and off every half second to achieve the lower power levels, only difference is in programming, not hardware.2) Cannot easily turn off just 1 burner. You can hold down the power button for each burner while it slowly counts down and turns off, but there is no quick off button for just 1 burner.Other than that I've had the stove several months and I rather like it. Really can't beat the performance to the price and it's good for my limited countertop space.
