Very attractive, but disappointed in the limited range of cookware compatible

This uses magnetic resistance to heat the pan. While ALL materials have SOME magnetic properties ( think MRI ), only carbon based metals are suitable ( bummer ). As I would have to purchase almost all new pots, I returned the unit. Oh, well....
Absolutely wonderful products and excellent value! I also own the matching oven. Both have operated flawlessly and you cannot beat the price. A comparable induction cooktop is typically 2.5X the cost, and the touch panel works great!One of my favorite things about induction cook tops is the ease of cleaning. Since the cooktop itself is t what heats up, spilled food doesn’t get cooked on as it would with standard electric or gas cook tops. It also heats extremely quickly. I can boil a pot of water within 3 minutes...
After the install we tried to use our "Blue Diamond" pans - and they did not work - or aluminum pans - I wasn't aware that the pans had to be "magnetic" - So - We had to buy some "Diffuser Plates" to make the Blue Diamomd pans and aluminum pans to work - other than this issue and is well -------
