Couldn't be happier!

I've had my 30" induction cooktop for about a month and I LOVE it. This cooktop replaced a 35 year old Kenmore coil cooktop. There is a bit of a learning curve to know what setting I need for boil or sauté or simmer. The manual does have a chart to help figure that out. The simmer function is a little different than I expected--it is not exactly a consistent simmer. It cycles, so what's in the pot will sometimes bubble a little more, and then a little less. That just took some getting used to and the end result is great. The Boost feature works perfectly as does the Keep Warm feature. Large pot of water boils in about 5 minutes. I also noticed that my non-stick skillet works perfectly with this cooktop. On my old coil top I had sticking and hots spots when using these same pans. Now they are such a pleasure to use and I'm getting the best fried or scrambled eggs with NO sticking. There is a faint fan sound when the cooktop is in use but it's hardly noticeable and doesn't bother me at all.
Before we installed it I was concerned about the sizes of my pans matching the burners, but that is not an issue with this cooktop. Your pots and pans do not have to be the exact same size as the burners. I did end up needing some new pots but that's ok because mine were around 20 years old already. My LeCrueset works beautifully, as do my stainless All Clad pots.
The cooktop is gorgeous and I've not had trouble so far keeping it clean. I am careful and wipe up any spills as soon as I can. After cooking I wipe the top down while it's still a little warm. So far it looks shiny and clean.
We installed this ourselves, including having to cut away 1/2' of granite countertop since the old cut out was just too small. My husband was a champ! Once we had the cut out adjusted the rest of the installation was a snap.
This cooktop is a great value. I found it at an incredible sale price at Best Buy and because the price was so good I also bought an extended warranty just in case. So far, I really love this thing! Can't think of anything about it that I do not like.

I have only had the cooktop installed since Dec 6th. It heats very quickly and takes a little getting used to. I read a lot of reviews before I decided to buy this cooktop. One person talked about how it only worked on a small portion of the pot, I understand what that person was talking about. It is similar to a gas stove where the flames hit the bottom are hotter but I think if your cookware is good it should heat evenly, but time will tell on that. Someone else had mentioned scratches easy. Oh yes I was so surprised it scratches so easily. I have had glass cook tops before and have had no problem with the finish (the black where the pans sits in this case) being easily scratched. It seems that the finish is not baked on as it scratches as easily as paint in my experience. The only thing that I think could have scratched the top was ground salt that may have got on the cooktop. It is very tiny but that was disconcerting. I might be putting paper towel under all my pots just to make sure I don't get a scratch. I will answer that I will recommend this product but hope I can change that in the future if the cooktop starts getting ugly or not working properly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just what I wanted

I had an electric top before and it got so hot and never could cool down to a simmer. It was frustrating at times. I bought an induction cook plate for Black Friday a few years ago and have been using that primarily since then. I finally broke down and bought this so I can stop having to haul that plate in and out every time I wanted to cook something. I love it. It's just what I wanted and the price was right.
