There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Since reviewing this duxtop, I had a chance to use the beautifully sleek induction cooktop sold by IKEA. The IKEA unit is about half the price, however it lacks fine control of cooking temperature (10 settings versus 20 available on the Duxtop Model 96xx) resulting in significantly more coarse temperature control and a very noticeable cycling between on and off. Furthermore the IKEA unit, as do most other brands, shuts of quickly if the cooking utensil is lifted from the surface and stays off until manually reset, whereas the Duxtop, while it also shuts off to protect the unit, will restart without changing its settings when the cookware is placed back in contact with the surface within a minute or less. Quite often one needs to lift a pan to flip its contents, or for even finer heat control. Having used this Duxtop for a while now, I can't say enough good things about it, it is truly a remarkably well designed and extremely functional induction hot plate for home use..
I noticed another review mentioned that they like another brand of induction hotplate better because it boiled water, by their test, 20 seconds faster than the Duxtop. I need not point out how absurd this is. Twenty seconds difference over 4 minutes will result from small differences in the amount of water or the precise positioning of the pan. There is no statistical difference between the time to boil water between these two hot plates. You'd have to repeat this test many times under careful control to have any chance of detecting any real difference in the time to boil water. Incidentally, none of these 1800 watt induction hot plates will boil substantial amounts of water significantly faster than many conventional, natural gas stoves. That's not where an induction cooktop has an edge over a good gas range. The Duxtop is better at controlling both time and temperature than a gas stove and it both heats and cools the surface of a pan far more rapidly. All induction cooktops, even the lousy ones, will get a pan surface blazing hot very fast on their top setting and are superior for searing meat, but do this outdoors unless you have efficient kitchen stove ventilation, because there is going to be smoke, and lots of it. The only place where the top setting should ever be needed is in bringing water to a boil quickly. The high heat of vaporization of water gives some protection to the cooking unit. If you want to shorten the life of the induction hotplate, use it at the top setting (10) on a dry pan for extended periods! In searing meat a setting above 8 is not needed. This is undoubtedly why when one selects the boil function on the Duxtop it automatically sets the power level to 10 and automatically sets the timer to 10 minutes; yet another wise protective feature of the Duxtop that competing units do not have.
Another big advantage induction cooktops have over any range with an open flame is that a paper towel can safely substitute as a pan lid to trap splatters of moisture and fat while letting steam escape. This arrangement can be used in combination with a lid, which will trap both splatters and steam. Many meats nowadays come pumped full of salt solutions,e.g., most bacon brands. These meats, when fried in an open pan, will create a mess of fat spatters. If a lid is used, steamed rather than browned meat results. Induction cooking solves these problems. Bacon, for example, is as easily prepared, and without creating a mess, on the Duxtop as it is in a microwave by substituting a paper towel for a pan lid. Nothing browns meat faster or more conveniently than an induction cooktop, and there is no mess to clean up!.
All in all this is a remarkably good induction hot plate, and is perhaps the first inexpensive induction hot plate for home use to give highly satisfactory temperature control over a very wide range. It brings an inexpensive, portable home unit very close to the control one previously had to pay far more to achieve. In this sense, this appears to be an appliance that breaks new ground that all other home-use induction hotplates will be forced to emulate. We can think of the Duxtop as bringing to the serious home cook what was previously available only in professional or high-end home kitchens. Like the iconic Kitchenaid Mixer that brought professional orbital mixing action to home cooks, this 96xx series of Duxtops appears to me to be the first inexpensive induction cooktop to give professional quality induction temperature control. The only difference you are likely to experience between this unit and one costing far more is the size of the pans and the volume of liquids that it can handle. In most cases this duxtop unit will be sufficient for cooking four to six servings using most standard sized pots and pans. You can successfully use somewhat larger pans up to the width of the unit if you use a lower power setting and allow more time for conduction to even out the pan surface temperature. The only possible improvement I would like to see would be one still lower power setting of say 0.25. That could be even more useful for fermentations such as making of creme fraiche in a bain marie. The present model goes down to a still amazing and very useful 0.5. Yes, you can melt chocolate at the 0.5 lowest setting, but keep your eye on it and stir. After using this thing daily for a few months, I am still amazed at what it can do and how well it does it!
edit 2020: After daily use for 9 months haven't changed my mind. A beautifully engineered product. Will be the standard against which all competitors must compete. And the price remains amazingly low for this kind of quality and function. One of the best products for the money I have ever purchased.
edit sept. 2020: Oh my goodness, is this thing ever great! Now I hardly ever use my otherwise great Bosch range's gas cook top. For those in the Southern part of the U.S. that make gumbo regularly, this duxtop is a fantastic roux maker because of its great temperature control. It will make it possible for even an amateur chef to achieve an almost black roux without burning it. Look up Chef Paul Prudhomme's method in his cookbook. Use an enameled, cast iron, dutch oven.
Edit: After 19 Months of daily use, still perfect in every way.
Edit: I continue to be impressed with the spectacular engineering that went into this product. I use it daily, seldom using my Bosch gas stove top. Beware of imposters that look similar but do not offer the all-important 20 levels of heat control, a 10-hour timer and also permit a pan to be lifted from the surface with the unit operating without having to reset the controls (very useful feature!). I have learned that the Duxtop has a number of circuit and heat protection features that are only evident after much use. What a great induction cooktop this is!
Edit Mar 2023: Approaching four years now of daily use. Still functions like brand new and looks almost brand new.
It works great for boiling water and sauteeing vegetables, and any cooking that needs high heat. It's very fast and the heat is steady. At lower temperatures that you select on a menu, the heat also seems steady and even, though I did not take measurements.
The design is attractive. You want the control panel to be sloped down or offset from the cooking surface, because if you use a large pan, it will cover up the controls. This model has a 9-inch cooking diameter, which works fine for a 10-inch pot. You could get away with 12-inch, though the heat would be more centralized. That might be what you want for sauteeing, however.
My device, though purchased new, had clearly been used or at least unwrapped. Telltale signs were the way the cord was wrapped and from a small scuff on the top, cleverly covered with an unnecessary sticker. I've changed my mind about the practice of recycling products that way. While it's techically fraudulent to sell them as virgin, as long as a product works perfectly, is fully guaranteed and returnable, and has no serious flaws or blemishes, it has the distinct advantage that somebody has tested it, so I'm less likely to get a complete DOA dud.
The fan on this cooker is louder than I expected, vigorous, but not noisy. The shiny surface is easy to clean but also shows streaks like a phone screen, so it's not easy to polish. Surprisingly few of my household pots and pans were ferromagnetic. The stainless copper-bottom pots didn't work, nor did most of the "non-stick" fry pans. I only had one 8" frypan that was actually steel. Since cookware is moving away from iron and steel, this magnetic induction technology may not have a long future. But for now, it meets my needs and exceeds my expectations.
Why not 5 stars?
Well, it seems to randomly shut off on occasion for no apparent reason -- this is infrequent, but sure is annoying if you're doing a long simmer, and you come back into the kitchen to discover the pot contents are lukewarm. Another annoyance is the fan is NOISY. Final peeve is wiping the control panel with a towel or moist cloth turns the unit on.

This electric stove-top is a great quality, heats up quick. Keeps the heat steady. I have cooked on it multiple times already & I’m very happy with this product.
In addition, it has a timer setting. Very useful timer setting, I use while boiling eggs & cooking chicken.
I cook a thick steak in 6 minutes, with the lid on, in a 2 quart sauce pan. 1 minute at 5 to sear the meat. 2 minutes at 3 and then flip. 1 minute at 5 to brown the second side. 2 minutes at 2, and it automatically turns off. I leave it to settle and continue cooking for about 2 minutes, and "Down The Hatch". Perfect rare steak, brown on both sides. In six minutes!
I love how the timer works, very easy to set. I'm a precision nut in cooking and this is as fussy as I am.
It boils a coffee cup of water in my pour over kettle set on 5 in 50 seconds, the time it takes me to grind the beans in my hand grinder. At 10, it would be maybe 20 seconds. I can't grind that fast, so I set it for 5. Did I say I'm fussy, lol?
Best of all, I can cook dinner, and my 200AH of batteries have not gone down measurably. Not even 1% of capacity. The unit is quite durable and easy to clean. I wish it said watts instead of "5", but that's just me. I have a watt meter, so I could figure it out if I had to. I think it said it cooks in increments of 200W. It has 2, 2.5, 3 etc.
Using this burner will cut your cooking electricity in half. Cleanup is fast. No parts to break or replace. The surface isn't cold after cooking, so be careful, but it sure isn't as hot as an electric burner or gas burner even.
Best of all, I am free of fossil fuels! I run this off 1,000 watts of solar panels. I have no monthly utility bills. My thanks to Duxtop for making a sturdy, flexible, handy unit that looks like it will last. 10 out of 10!
