Brent: I just received this, so this is just a first impressions review. Really a top quality cook top! And it comes very well packed encased in molded foam for protection through shipping. Do be aware that it ships in the factory box revealing the product, so if that is a concern I would go with the gift wrap option.
I've only used this twice the first was a quick boil water test with the heavy quality Duxtop 3qt sauce pan I ordered as the package deal. It boiled in a little over 7 min, second use was pork steaks, and they seared off perfect in my cast iron.
One thing to be aware with using this with cast iron or really any pan is I preheat the pan before hand. This thing can almost instantly bring a pans cooking area up to temp. That quick a change in temp could possibly break cold cast iron or potentially warp standard skillets. I started on the lowest keep warm setting of 100f for a few minutes just in case then used the + button to increase up to temp. Not sure if it would, but I sure don't want to test it on my cast iron so I'd rather err on the side of caution.
I will update if I can as I get use to it, but so far I'm loving it!

Allan: I had had gas for cooking for over twenty years and swore by it. Then moved to a rental with a bottom of the line electric glass top stove which I quickly learned to detest daily. I thought of buying an older electric element stove to replace it but it seemed like a step backwards. I decided to try induction and I am totally sold. This unit is simple, incredibly fast and efficient. My collection of cast iron pans are perfect for this technology and I have only had to replace two pots. Once again I look forward to cooking!

David CoulombeDavid Coulombe: At first I thought the unit was defective. It was shutting down towards the end of the canning cycle. I tried it twice and finally reached out to Duxtop. They were very responsive and explained that the cooktop will shut down after two hours if you don't use the cooktop timer. The third time I used the canner I set the cooktop timer and it worked perfectly. The cooktop is heavy duty and handles the canners weight. My element stove top would struggle. It's nice that it stays cool and it seem that without the extra heat from an element the entire canning process was cooler and more efficient. The main purpose of this cooktop was for canning but I've tried frying some eggs in a cast iron pan and it worked great. It seemed like the pan heated up much faster than a conventional element and the heat was easily controlled. The only noise from the cooktop is the fan, which isn't too loud. I couldn't hear any high pitch noise that I've read about in other reviews but I know some people can hear higher frequencies than others. This was a good purchase for my purposes and I'm sure I will use it a lot.

ManOnTheStreet: For more than a decade I’ve been living solo, off-grid, in a three-season shed using propane for all my creature comforts - heat, dinner, wash-up and personal hygiene. Since purchasing the Duxtop induction cooktop, I have eliminated my use of propane for making dinner, washing dishes and hair & face wash-up. My solar energy system is small, 400 watts with a 2200 watt pure sine inverter. It powers all my needs. Initially I built it to power a DC fridge, but since have used it for so much more. A note of caution: if running on solar, it’s critical that you run this cooktop on only the purest of power sources, such as an inverter supplying a pure sine wave.

The cooktop is said to draw 1800 watts on full power (level 10). However, I found it actually draws slightly less than that. Regardless, that’s more than 4 times the power my system is capable of generating, yet with the features of the Duxtop I achieve an appreciable level of energy efficiency.

This cooktop, like others designed for the counter, cycles its power draw when set below half power (level 5). For me, that’s perfect and I feel it is the greatest factor in its efficiency. Some reviews here have...

Chromic AcidChromic Acid: TLDR: Nice.

I'm comparing the Secura Professional against the smaller one that I've had for almost 3yrs now, the Secura 9100MC Portable.

Photos (from left to right):
1. The portable (left) with my 10in All-Clad fry pan vs professional with a 12qt All-Clad stock pot.
2. The portable (left) with my 8qt All-Clad stock pot vs professional with the 12qt.
3. The professional with the 10in fry pan, and a 12in ruler on the side for scale.
4. Same as (3), but from the front.

Why induction?
I live in a desert, and a while back I got tired of the heat radiating from my stovetop fighting with the AC for dominance. The stove was winning. So I bought an induction stovetop to more efficiently heat the cookware. It worked. Hot cookware still radiates heat, of coure, but at least the stovetop's "leaky" heating was solved.

Why this one?
I bought this because I wanted to make a larger pot of broth and I because I needed to cook it for longer. The portable has served me well, but being the portable it is smaller and doesn't have the heavy reinforced structure of its bigger brother. It only supports about 20lbs max, hence why I've only been using an 8qt...
