The induction hotplate is amazingly fast. I purchased it to use with my coffee percolator. Hand ground coffee, ready in 90 seconds, and with the added benefit of using less electricity.

I personally found the cooker to be good but, the temperature control needs a lot of work in as much as using it on the lowest and then going up just one to the next temperature there is to much difference in the heat and therefore things start to burn very quickly. Low is to low and then just one temperature up is to high so there needs to be an in between temperature there. The cleaning is easy, to store is easy and to pack for holidays I just kept the box and in it went. Overall would I recommend it, yes but be very careful for burning on the low settings.

Not used at this time, bought to replace a cheaper brand that is on the verge of failing. This is the second cheaper brand that I have bought in 18mths, the first was not sealed and some soup leaked into the electrics, the current one has melted near the controls and will not last much longer. I love induction cooking and decided to invest in a more expensive model.
