Our cooktop died and we are considering an induction cooktop. Anyone have one and can give an opinion?

I think you mean induction. I have one and love it for its precise heat adjustment and immediate responsiveness.

It’s also easy to clean and looks nice in a modern kitchen. Warning, you better own cast iron or stainless steel pots or plan to buy them.

You are right. Induction. I have cast iron and stainless steel, but a good bit of aluminum I won't be able to use.

I’ve had one for 9 years. Love it!

What do you want to know?

It is not as easy to clean as you would think. I kinda miss my elements with tin foil underneath to catch the mess. If you get some splatter on the burner mid cook, it can be a beast to clean.

Mostly, reliability of the unit and durability of the surface and markings.

I have a Fagor, no reliability problems. It’s a glass top, so it is like any other glass top. It could scratch if something abrasive was placed of if something heavy was dropped on it it would crack. The upside is the only way food would burn to the top is if it gets between the pan and the the stovetop.

The one thing I would warn people about is not leave pots on it while it’s off when your not around or sleeping. If the power flickers I have noticed it turns on and stays on if a pot is on it.

Yes and I love it. The precision is so much better than traditional heated elements.

Moved into a house with one in June and love it. No Magnalite usage is the only big negative for me. Immediate response to temp change and boils a pot of water super quick. I wrote down the temps that work best for each food and keep in in the drawer next to it. I.E. start bacon at 9, drop to 5. Trout at 7. etc. etc.

In 2.5 years of cooking on an induction, I really haven't noticed any difficulty in cleaning. A spray of windex and a soft cloth and it's clean.
