I purchased this cooktop about a month ago and am very happy with it. The main selling feature for me was that it is a North American brand, and that it has actual knobs rather than a touch control. My previous induction cooktop ended up in the landfill due to a faulty computer sensor board (touch control) that has been discontinued. A bonus of this model is the "bridge" between the two medium elements which means I can place a full griddle over both and have the heat distribute evenly.
