Product looks nice and cooks fine. The Wi-Fi function is not the best and sometimes the buttons don’t respond as well as they should. Also wish the top cooled down faster, the whole. Purpose was to have a cooler surface after cooking than a traditional cooktop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love love love. Everything seems to work great. Have been using for about 2 months. We have all the correct pots and pans but occasionally 1 or 2 of the pots will not work on the burner I would like it to but once we move it to another burner all is good. Seems to clean nicely. Love the fact that there was a choice other than all black.
When it works, it's better than an electric stove. But that's an IF. Most of the time it takes us to cook is spent trying to get the cooktop to recognize our magnetic cookware despite their magnetic diameter meeting the size requirements listed in the user manual of the cooktop. Sometimes they're detected, most times they aren't.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Performs as I expected. Easy to adjust temperature and no scorching the food as I did with my gas cook top.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We got the silver/grey version to contrast with our dark granite and it looks fabulous. The 36 inch version with the giant center pot boiler is amazing. We tested it multiple times and it will get a large pasta pot filled with water to a roiling boil in 3 minutes. With the right convection designed pans, this cooksurface is really nice to cook on. Want to gently heat a cream or butter sauce, get the bluetooth saucepan or fry pan for really precise temperature cooking. Easy to clean and looks like it is off a Star Trek movie set. Superior to any other convection cooktops I have used!
Cooktop looks great! It heats a small sauce pot quickly, but attempting to bring a large pot to a boil took way longer than I expected. Also, I thought the burners would be cooler faster, but they also take awhile. This is my first induction, so maybe my expectations were simply too high.
Easy to use, superfast and responsive to the settings, using a silicone pad under my 50 year old cast iron skillets to protect the surface, works great!
