18 months later, I still love it
Our little iSiler induction burner gets used virtually every day, often more than once. It gets used more than our Bosch gas cooktop. Why? 1) It is just as fast or faster than the gas burners. It's a lot faster heating oil in a fry pan, and a little faster boiling water. 2) It has tremendous precision. I set the temperature and don't have to worry about whether I'm using a better or lesser pan. 3) It's much, much easier to clean. 4) It improves our indoor air quality.I make omelettes most mornings and it's awesome for that. I can set the temperature to 200, put in some frozen, add a little oil, and thaw frozen garlic. While I chop veggies, the garlic thaws, turn up the temperature to 320, and in a minute, it's ready for onion, peppers, etc. When the veggies are ready, I turn it down to 300 and put the eggs in. It's sooo much easier than cooking on gas. We stayed in a condo with a smooth (non-induction) electric cooktop. They had a better pan, but I couldn't get used to how long it took to heat the pan or how long to drop the temperature.18 months later, well 19 months, it still works just like it did the first day. I wholeheartedly endorse this product.

Gret for short-term use but shuts off during longer cooks.
I originally purchased this to replace an old butane fondue burner. It worked great for that application though the fan can be a little noisy at times. I started using this as an extra burner when making complex meals. I really like the heat control so have tried using it a couple of times to make stock. You can precisely control the simmer but unfortunately the unit shuts off after an hour or so, so it's not applicable for dishes that must simmer for a long time.

HOW TO REMOVE THE BEEP (requires needlenose pliers and a Phillips screwdriver)
Great product, terrible beep, easy fix.0. You'll want to wipe down the surface of your cooktop, and unplug it. At this point I should note that you are responsible for your own safety, the voiding of your warranty, you forgetting that you were just using your hot plate as a space heater for four hours and burning something, and so on. Follow these (simple) instructions at your own risk.1. Flip the cooktop over. There should be six readily apparent Phillips screws on the back. You don't need to remove any of the rubber footing or any seals. Remove the six screws and separate the heating element from the cooktop surface.2. Now, there should be a board next to the heating element. Not the one obscured by the heating element, the one with the springs that was contacting the control panel, the one you touch when you adjust heat and use the power button. On this board, you want to locate a small black cylinder labelled ZLFY. Honestly, it's the only thing that really looks like a speaker, and if you Google the code etched on it (which you always should) it confirms that it's the super annoying buzzer that makes this product a 3/5 instead of a 5/5, because I use a hot plate to cook at 3 am when everyone's asleep.3. To remove this buzzer, you could pull the board up, go get your soldering kit, and desolder it from the other side. But what I tried, so that you wouldn't have to, is just snapping it off with needlenose pliers, which worked perfectly. BE CAREFUL: These boards are easier than you might think to break. There are two pieces to the buzzer, and the first one you can pull off more or less perpendicular to the board with your pliers. But the piece that's actually soldered on won't come off like this. You will feel the board straining if you try it. Firmly grip it with the pliers at an angle and steadily twist it off the board. It should come right off. If it doesn't, it's possible yours just has more solder, but I suspect most people will be able to do this with ease.4. The thermal paste on the heating element will be unsealed, but given that this entire device is designed to cook chicken, not play Minecraft, and they barely used thermal paste on mine to begin with, I think it'll be fine. If not, I'll report back with a guide about how it takes five seconds to replace thermal paste.5. Reassemble heating element and cooktop surface with six Phillips screws. The beep should be gone.If you try this, please post the outcome.Edit: It has been five days and cooking is going fine without replacing the thermal paste.

Great to use instead of gas cooktop during warm weather.
I wrote the review below after I had had this unit for about a year. NOW I have had it for FIVE years, and it is still working beautifully. Some people comment that they do not work well with like six quart boilers. Any of the induction portable units would have trouble heating pots that large - and wide - given the heating function of induction. I have used mine thousands of times - putting it away every time it is not in use. I concur with what I wrote years ago:I have a gas cooktop which I love, but being in Texas, I was looking for something to use in hot weather to reduce heating up the house. This induction burner is fabulous. I do not have the heat control that I have with gas, but with practice and use, it is pretty close. Brings things to a boil rapidly. I love it. Easy to store when not in use. Now almost use it daily year round instead of my gas cooktop that I spent a fortune on. So much easier to clean, and I feel safer using it because it cools down very rapidly, AND the burner turns off after a few seconds if you take the pan off the unit. I have used it for well over a year, and highly recommend.

a great little cooktop
We've had this only about a month, so time will tell. But so far it makes me think that maybe we should get three more and just put'em on top of our glass-ceramic standard cooktop. All of our Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless pots/skillets love this thing. Heats 4 qts of hot water to boiling in about 8 minutes, I think, still faster than regular electric. Heats everything faster - you kind of have to change your kitchen timing to keep up with it - like my wife generally puts her little espresso pot on the regular stove in the morning and has time to get herself organized and make toast and all, but with this induction one the espresso is ready in a couple of minutes. Haven't tried the low-wattage-temps much yet. It seems to be high-quality manufacture despite being made in China. Very simple to operate - simply intuitive. The fan noise is new to us but no big deal and no noisier than the exhaust fan on the regular stove. Pretty happy with it so far - the small size of the heating circle is no problem either, we regularly use 10" and bigger pots on it. And if there's no pot on it, it won't work and it beeps at you, a great safety feature.
