If you’ve grown up cooking on the gas the only thing you’re probably going to wonder about is why you’ve waited so long to purchase an induction cooktop!
It will significantly cut your time in the kitchen (expenses, too), and improve the cooking experience as well.
Not all induction cooktops are the same.
- energy efficient
- quick and easy to clean
- you need a specific cookware
- safe to use
- suitable for both, indoor and outdoor cooking
- quiet (no noisier than a computer fan)
- cooking on induction cooktops has a learning curve
- they are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
If you ask me, the most important one is: they are quick and easy to clean.
1. Rosewill 1800W Induction Cooker Cooktop
The company puts an accent on its efficiency, but to be honest, it’s not more efficient than the other products on the list. It has built-in overheating protection and a three-hour timer feature.
The main difference from the other induction cooktops on this list is that this one comes with stainless steel pot, which is pretty handy since the company puts the important note that not every cookware piece will work with the induction cooktop. If a magnet sticks well to the sole of the pan, it will work on an induction cooktop. Please avoid using any cookware made with aluminum, glass, or copper.

As the manufacturer states it uses 90% of released energy since it has built-in self-adjusting burners. That means that the burner adjusts itself to the size of the cookware base, so very little energy is wasted.
That makes this cooktop extremely energy efficient.
Also, the 1800W in the name of the cooktop says it’s much faster than older generations.
It’s equipped with a diagnostic error message system, so there is no need to panic or mess with the manual if you experience some kind of issue. We highly recommend it.

It has a wider temperature range – and precise temperature control up to 575 °F. Although it looks smaller than other cooktops, you still can use bigger based cookware. It works great anyway. The only that counts is that magnet on the cookware bottom sticks to the cooktop.
They come in two versions: 1300W and 1800W. If your model can go up to 1800W it means that you will be able to cook faster. However, you have to make sure that the wiring for your kitchen outlet is 20A. Otherwise, you can face installation issues or even fire hazards. So, make sure to take a look at the bottom of your cooktop.

It’s quiet, faster than anything you’ve ever experienced, simple to use, and comes with easy to use short manual.
Temperature ranges from 140 to 460°F with 8 power levels, from 200 – 1800W. The bottom is made of metal and top is made of glass.
This powerful induction cooktop, in general, works as advertised, and if you are not satisfied with it, you can ask for your money back, and you’ll get it because they offer a 100% No-Questions-Asked Money-Back Guarantee.

We’ve noticed that it occasionally “overheats”, but don’t panic, just let it cool down for a while. The solution for the problem is not to use it on the highest temperature setting for long.
Also, another drawback is the pot that comes with it. It’s thin and low quality. Otherwise, we think it’s a really good device.

That doesn’t affect its performance. After it heats up it will provide you a consistent heat throughout cooking. We highly recommend it.
View on Amazon7. DUXTOP 1800-Watt Portable Sensor Touch Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner 8300ST
It has 10 power levels (up to 1800W) and 10 temperature levels (460°F).
It comes with a very detailed manual that contains a table that equates temperature settings to amps/watts. It’s extremely easy to clean.
Although it seems like any other product from the same price category, we highly recommend it.

It has a glass top, so you must be careful, and it only works for iron pots, not for stainless, aluminum, and glass pots.

However, the best way to use it would be to cook only on one burner at a time. We’ve tried using both burners and we were able to do so but only on minimum power.
That’s why we think it’s made for singles. And if you don’t want to buy new cookware, you can buy a plate that goes directly on the burner that allows you to use any pan.

This Induction Cooktop offers you complete temperature control and a wider temperature range than the competition.
2 hour “Keep Warm” feature (155 degrees F) and “100 hours of memory that allows you to program your favorite cooking procedures” are among the most powerful features it has (since the company puts a strong accent on it).
It’s way cheaper than other products of the same quality. In the end, it has a very modern and attractive design. Simply: it’s worth every cent!
