I went for the non-programmed variant of this product. My initial though was "i never know how how the flame on my burner is so whats the difference here." Well in practice it does hold us but i think looking back i would have gone for the programmed model just for ease of use.
First i will say though, this thing gets hot and it gets hot fast! I was honestly not prepared for that coming from the other conventional heating methods. I just set it to high like i usually did before and my cast iron pan was smoking in no time.
The cooktop is easy to use, just place your pan or pot on it, hit the power button and then the mode button after, from there you select your power level. After figuring it out, i never had a need to go above 1200W, it honestly just got too hot to do anything useful and would overheat the plate with my cast iron skillet. If you take your pan off while cooking then you will be treated with a very loud and constant beeping to let you know you took your pan off. I could do without this feature but i get why its there, once you return it though it stops instantly. I will say, if you leave a pan on it empty for a while, it will overheat the system pretty fast. It's not much of an issue when actually cooking but it will throw an error code at you and start beeping again.
The pot included is nothing fancy but it comes with a lid and it works. At least if you find yourself in a situation where your pans don't work, you will still have something to use on it.
Anyway, i would go for the programmed version just so i could set temps but i don't think it makes a huge difference. The unit looks great and works as expected, it also takes up little counter space and can be stored shortly after use since it cools down quickly.

Boils water super fast, cooks super fast
2nd day of using this product. Boils water super fast, cooks super fast. I need to get used to the temperature settings. Just made eggs and kale started on the lowest temp and went adjusted from there. I was wondering if I should of spent a little more for the pre set modes/programmed, but no need you just need to get a feel for the strength of the heat. I was just saying to myself why did it take this long to get an induction burner? It's perfect for my little island cottage. (I live in Hawaii) I am looking forward to cooking on my cast iron and even getting a heat infuser for my non magnetic pots. You will cook like a pro with this unit. So far very amazed of this cooking/heating method. On another note I burnt the pan slightly it's pretty thin and was on a high setting with butter and garlic, no big though it cleaned up well ... Glad I made this purchase! Totally stoked!!! ALOHA AND MAHALO
