30 inch 7800W Induction Cooktop Built-in Electric Induction Stovetop 4 Burners,Boost/Bridge Mode/10 Power Levels/Timer/Safety Lock/Knob Easy Control

I converted my Viking dual-fuel stove by replacing the gas burners with this induction cooktop. (My stove is very old so I didn't care about invalidating a warranty.). Installation was easy, I just needed a custom metal piece that the cooktop fits into. (This Weceleh 30" cooktop was one of only two that would fit on my stove as underneath the 30" has the same width as a 24" cooktop.). I've been cooking on it for a month now, and have gotten the hang of it and am really loving it, and especially loving no longer breathing gas fumes. I bought a small adapter plate so that I could use my daily moka coffee, but otherwise am only using magnetic pots. I bought silicon pads and don't really use or need them but one helps for a certain skillet that otherwise slips around. The Weceleh has been very easy to use with straightforward controls. The fan noise is more than I would like but I have totally gotten used to it. I have not used the powerboost function at all but I guess it is nice to have it. I'm not sure what functionality I am missing by not having a more expensive cooktop, but I am very satisfied with this one.

The media could not be loaded. Perfect fit after adding stainless steel strips for flashing around space occupied by old electric cooktop. Great value for the price. Induction power is intermittent for low power settings which I’m told is typical of lower priced cooktops. Customer service is outstanding. Since most of my cookware is non-induction, the gas burners are a life-saver.

Well packaged, arriving without damage. Installation was very easy, in my particular case i have a smaller based cabinet and was worried about the large install size of other makes. Fit great in my existing counter top opening. Wiring was easy into the existing box for my previous hob. Using this hob is different from other induction hobs that I have used. When the "burner" is stated it comes on a level 5, at this level and every level to 7 the unit cycles on and off a variable intervals based on the power setting, this is full power on and then off, not a lesser power setting, so this can be a little challenging to get used to depending on how close you are to the boiling point. Will take a little to get used to. For the good stuff, I love induction hobs. They are fast to heat and only heat the cookware and contents, not the surface other than conduction from the cookware. I live in a warm climate and appreciate not heating the kitchen just the food. As far as I have seen induction saves time and energy, true you have to have the correct cookware, but most modern cookware is compatible and many older brands are also. They also include a magnet to test your existing cookware if needed. For the price this unit is a good deal and would recommend. Reason the I did not give 5 stars, the on off pulsing for one, (other units that I have only did this at lower settings), my particular unit does have some minor coil vibration noise while cooking on one of the "burners". Love the smooth look, the mirror finish looks good, but does show smears easily, a matte finish might be a better option. Still happy with this purchase and hope to have many years of use,

I thoroughly researched the traditional stove, electric & induction cooktops before selecting the induction stove top.Why induction- unlike the electric cooktop that has to pass heat along from surface to cookware to food, induction cooktops heat the cookware directly. The result is an evenly heated pot or pan and much less heat energy loss during the process. Additionally, since the cooktop and the oven are separate units, replacement or repair would be more cost effective unlike the traditional stove wherein the entire unit would need to be replaced.The unit also has an auto shut off feature, when it does not detect the magnetic cookware and cooking can easily be set on a timer. This model is not bulky with knobs protruding out but rather is part of the flat surface design, so no more reaching over the hot pots for control buttons or knobs. Cleaning is quite easy and one can simply use a kitchen towel or sponge with a dab of detergent.One of the features I like is the child proof. By selecting this after cooking, those little curious darlings will not be able to cause harm to themselves or your home.From an energy standpoint- my research results reflected induction stove tops.... "are capable of delivering as much as 90% of the electromagnetic energy generated to the food in the pan, compared to as little as 38% of the energy generated in gas ranges." "Because of how induction cooktops transfer heat, the surface itself does not actually get hot." "That means if you touch it, no worries." "Spill food?" "You won't have to scrape it off after you're done, because it won't cook onto the stovetop." "That's safer, and it makes cleanup a breeze."Induction cooktops can cost more however than the traditional electric cooktops but this particular model I found was at or similar in price. Induction stovetops also require specific cookware made of ferromagnetic material or simply if a magnet sticks to the cookware it is compatible. Induction stovetop size may be a challenge as well but the standard 30" was easy to find with other designs options and features which met my budget and needs.
