Took a risk and bought this before it had any reviews. I did not see any noticeable quality difference between the glass top Frigidaire electric cook top it replaced. The wiring all looks up the code and matched the existing unit I had. The cooktop installed smoothly. If the spacers that attach to the sides are a bit of a challenge the get lined up when dropping the unit into place, just try and prebend them a little.It really will not work with any pots and pans that do not pass the magnet test. I had some cheap "cast iron" that was gifted to me and it would not work on them - I checked with a magnet, and I guess they are made of aluminum or something. Just check your pots or do like I did and order nice ones with the cost savings of this unit over something from the big box stores.I had no issues with the interface, it is very straight forward and the manual it is very well done with pictures and clear instructions on the basic functions. It is as simple as - press the burner symbol and the press the number on the number pad - super simple. I even got the timing function to work for turning the burner off after a set time.While induction is known for boiling water quickly, I was worried about the smoothness of low temperature operation. On my previous electric cooktop it would cycle once every 10-20 seconds full heat /no heat to achieve lower temperatures - this caused all kinds of trouble and it was just about unusable. On the BiGoods unit the heating is extremely smooth, better than the newer gas cooktop I last used that had 3-4 steps of heat to choose from and where you had to match the burner to the use case and pot. Here I can use any burner and dial it in easily. The simmer button is also very useful. I will point out that it will heat metal handles if you place a small pot on the large burner where the handle is in the burner heating area, but it did not seem to get near as hot as the bottom of the pan - just something to watch for.When heating the unit does make humming noises and the sound of a fan or something comes on as well. Not loud and not really a bother, I find it useful as you can tell that it is working.Overall I an very happy and would recommend this product. The price is low enough that even if it goes out early the cost the replace is still low. If this lasts for 5-10 years I would be ecstatic, but if it only lasts for 2 it is still a better deal than paying 5 times the price for a more well known brand.
