I purchased this product reluctantly. I am not a fan of electric cooking. However, this little gem is awesome induction cooking, I am sold. I have a mini kitchen in a Next-Gen home that I share with my daughter and family. I thought I might use the tiny cooktop to heat up some soup., well no I cook all types of things in as short amount of time as on a gas top. Of course cooking for a big family on a one burner isn't going to work but for one it works great. It shuts off when you remove the pot/skillet. Cools down and heats up quickly, has multiple heat settings. I cannot say it enough, how pleased I am. I definitely will recommend this product.
