Pros:- Heats quickly. Love the support for round bottom woks- Reasonably sized footprint given what you can do with this- Not too loud- The pan this comes with actually works quite well- Compatible with flat bottom pans and pots as wellCons:- The glass heating element doesn't have any protection, other induction stove tops I've seen have a ring to protect it from your round bottom work. To be fair, induction stove tops will typically have you working directly on glass, I just worry about this breaking with round bottom woksOverall:I've been really happy with this induction stove top from Abangdun. I've been using this with a carbon steel wok and it's been great. Gets hot very quickly. The heat control is responsive. This isn't too loud. While this isn't small, considering this gives you a round bottom wok burner basically anywhere you can find a standard power plug, this is actually quite compact all things considered. I love using this to whip up stir fries at home on my round bottom wok. 100% would recommend!

OK first thing you should know - the pan that comes with this is NOT an exact fit. Which seems dumb to me in the modern era of computers and robotics etc when tolerances can be very tight. There is about a quarter inch gap at the bottom of the bowl. If you can find a carbon steel wok that fits that would be better.Which brings me to the second point. This pan is not suitable for high heat because of the teflon, and the steel used is not very thick. Better pans with thicker bases work best on induction. This pan is thinner and it doesn't fit the base well so it doesn't transfer heat well. So not good for stir fry if you are intent on getting wok hei. Not good for stir fry at all with the current pan. Apparently (by report of other reviewers) it works pretty well with a carbon steel wok if you can find one to fit the curve of the base. I'm pretty sure this pan is steel clad, not steel.However ultimately I kept this because it works great for cooking large quantities of certain curries and soups - as long as you have a lid for the pan. Otherwise it'll sit there at 10 forever and never boil because there is way too much surface area to achieve a boil if the pan goes uncovered. Fortunately I had a huge lid from an old fry pan that fits well enough. With the lid I can now cook an entire 2 lb bag of shredded cabbage for curry in short order, much quicker than in a flat pan on my other induction hot plate.I have another, similar wok with a small flat bottom that I tried with this base and it worked the first time but not the second time. You have to fiddle with it to get it to match the curve as much as possible. The gap at the bottom of the base because of the flat bottom on the wok is just enough larger than the gap for the pan that comes with the base that it works intermittently if you don't get it set just right.As mentioned by other reviewers, I, too, find the always-on-if-its-plugged-in thing annoying. The on/off switch should turn the thing ALL the way off, but it doesn't. Seems short-sighted.TL;DNR => Not suitable for stir fry with the provided pan. May work better for stir fry if you can find a carbon steel wok to fit the curve of the base.You will not be happy with this pan if you don't have a lid for it.Does have other applications as long as you don't need actual wok temperatures and have a lid for the pan.

The induction hob heats really well, and seems really well made, although it is noisy when the heating unit is on (I assume because of the cooling fan). I give the hob 5 stars. The wok that comes with it, on the other hand, I would rate 0 stars, and is a poor fit with the hob, really unstable, and is best immediately replaced.. But I bought the unit for the hob, and have other woks.

Really great replacement for not having a gas stove or wok burner. Gets really hot quickly and stays hot. If you love induction you'll love this.I will say that the wok it comes with is not great. Non-stick materials shouldn't be subjected to high heat. Could make a good wok for boilin or steaming but you shouldn't subjected to high temp.

I feel like I should knock off one star because of the stupid hexclad knockoff wok! However, this thing performs like a champ and I’m getting over 700° on my carbon steel wok. It heats up super fast and I am actually shocked at the performance of getting on this little thing.

This is a true induction cooktop, works really well. Heats up very fast & cooks every thing up evenly. Comes with a great quality round bottom Wok. Very easy to clean. My husband loves it. Cooking is very easy and much faster now. Never knew I needed this 🖤

I like the burner but using flat bottom pans should come with caveats. Sure, it technically can use flat pans but in my experience using the flat bottom pan wasn’t as seamless as a typical burner. If it is a smaller pan, it’s much easier to slide off center/level. Not necessarily a big deal if your hand is always on the handle but that’s not always possible so spills and off-center heating are a reality.Which is leads to caveat #2. The heat comes from the outside-inwards. How well the heat distributes to the center depends on the pan construction. That was an adjustment in cooking method with typically the heat being centered with the edges cooler. Essentially, I would only use a large, thick bottomed flat pots that have very little room to slide around, and use other burners for flat pans.Also, a non-stick wok? Every non-stick manufacturer says never use on high heat and the nature of a wok is by default, high heat. Just more waste in a landfill.
