Dacor - 36" Electric Induction Cooktop - Black Glass

Love Love! If you love the convenience of a Gas stove to adjust temperatures…… This Induction will be even Better! Not only does the stove perform Great it also has a feature to look up Recipes that are set up Step by Step! I highly recommend Dacro which is a Step up of Samsung

Install went great, no issues. Electrician had pre-wired a 240V line, and plumber capped gas line day before delivery. Very smooth. Now, as to the cooktop, it's only a 3 because it has issues, some of which are part of the induction heating process. First, the top of the cooktop gets quite hot from conducted heat from the hot pot. It stays hot for a while. Second, the switches are not very friendly, so that it has to be learned in much the same way that you learn the touch of any gizmo. But touchier. The sensors to detect the pot can be over-sensitive, such that if you move the pot a half inch off the mark, half the burner goes off. Third, the hum emitted when you put it on full-power to boil water is pretty loud, just short of scary. Fourth, the LED display is a total waste, as is the idea of a wifi connection. They are just a way to add costs to charge the customer, not to help the owners cooking. Now, it does boil water very quickly, woo, woo. It cooks OK, once you learn where to set the numbers. But you need to set it high to get the pan hot, because low power doesn't get anything warm. So you go high, get the cooking started, and then set it where you want to cook. So, do I like it? Yes and no. Gas smell and exhaust heat are gone, but that's about it. You can't leave it on by mistake and have it leak gas. But I would have liked some hardware-sort of switch that you could tap, rather than dragging a couple of electrons across the glass. I think there are better implementations of induction than this, particularly at $3600 for the item. It would have been nice to have them wired in the store, so you could try out how they work. Not these days I guess. My answer, try another cooktop or three before you layout the cash. See if the switching and controls work for you.
