[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best cooktop I have ever used. Easier faster and cleaner than gas or electric. Incredible results!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time using an Induction cooktop. I have been a gas stove user my entire life and swore I would never use anything else. We decided to get this cooktop to be more environmental friendly and within the first few days using the cooktop, I am a lifer! The cooktop is so easy to use, so fast to boil water and heat pans, so easy to clean not just the cooktop but all my dishes. When using a gas stove, my pans always got a browning layer underneath the food that needed to be scrubbed .. not anymore! I love the kitchen time setting as well. Food tastes so much better as the entire experience of cooking is different!
I purchased this stove top and was happy with it ever since. The cooking surface is large enough for every meal and I have no concerns of noise. Unfortunately I had to buy a whole new cookware set made for induction, but all the more reason to get the Demeyere Atlantis set that I've been eyeing for a while. The stove and those pots seem like they were made for each other. It only takes a few seconds to heat up to temp and it's easy to clean up. Once again, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who's in the market for a heat induction cook top. You won't be disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took a bit of adjusting to go from electric to induction, but were were getting used to everything after a few attempts. The cooktop is very smart and precise.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had our Bosch Benchmark Induction Cooktop (NITP660UC) for just over a month now and it's absolutely fantastic. It's faster to heat, more responsive, and much easier to clean than our old high end Bertazzoni Gas cooktop.
Another benefit is the obvious reduction in indoor air pollution. Previously when using our gas cooktop, the indoor air sensors we have in our home would report very high PM2.5 pollution and our Winix air cleaner sensors would turn red. That's even with a window open and our high volume vent hood running at full blast. Now with our Induction cooktop, we don't have any measurable indoor air pollution contribution unless we're cooking something that generates excessive smoke. We can even leave our vent hood off and window closed.
The only downside is that while the cooktop is very easy to clean, you need to clean it after every use due to finger prints on the touch panel and any splatters on the cooktop. The touch panel is also a small challenge to read as our hood light tends to wash out the readings. But those are VERY minor issues.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is very different from the gas stove I used to have, but I am having so much fun learning to cook all over again! I especially like the power boost insta-boil. I make a lot of soup and this helps tremendously! Learning curve on frying eggs, but have learned to turn fry pan to 7 until oil is heated and then down to 5 while cooking. Sooo easy to clean! Love this product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just installed our new cooktop and thus far it is working quite well. We appreciate the ability to customize in half steps the heat levels. It seems user-friendly and straightforward. We purchased this particular model as it was the top rated in Consumer Reports and thus far it's living up to expectations.
