BT-200T1/8600BI

I bought two of these units. Use them both. Very well built. Looks good. Easy to clean. No problems whatsoever. Does an excellent job at heating whatever you require. Fast and even heating. Controls are intuitive and responsive to the slightest touch. Overall, a pleasure to use.

Works very well. We have used it daily since received. Perfect for wat we needed it for. I would buy again.

UPDATE 12/21/2021 One star penalty. It has poor temperature control. I almost always use the power setting rather than the temperature setting. From 1-10, you'd think that 4-6 would be the medium settings and should heat up the cookware to probably no more than 350F...this morning my bacon almost burned. When I used an IR thermometer, it said it was above the limit (716F). Now, it could be that either the thermometer is faulty or the cookware is simply too weak and heats up quickly, but the fact that even at 4.5 avocado oil starts smoking (that's a 520F smoke point), it begs the question as to whether this cooktop has ANY sort of temperature control. I may switch to temperature mode, though I'm not too optimistic. It's still, however, a better cooktop than the electric coils but I'll be very disappointed if all induction cooktops are like this one. ----------------------------------------- I’ve been in places with gas stoves or ceramic top, so when I moved to an apartment with the electric coils stove I knew I needed something else. Enter this cooktop. I bought it with a 10in MSMK Nonstick Skillet Frying Pan (also on Amazon) as none of my cookware is induction compatible (and i needed a smaller skillet anyway). It’s not too heavy (probably about the same weight as a pan) and it can be tucked in a corner without taking up much space. I used it for breakfast and was immediately blown away at how easy and efficient it is. No heat is lost, the food was cooked thoroughly, and it responded as quickly as a gas range would. There IS some whirring when you operate it (you ARE creating an electric current against a material) but other reviews claiming that it’s loud are overblown and after a while you barely notice it. I will eventually either get a second burner or a two-burner set so I can do more things but so far, this is definitely a great purchase. Do keep it away from any other metal (so placing it on the stove is a no-no), and keep your watches, phones, and other sensitive items away unless you wanna find corrupted memory.

I have been using this induction cooktop as my sole method of cooking in my RV for about a year. I love it. I can reliably control the temperature of my pans with it. I took it to Burning Man and made tacos outside in the mornings with it for two weeks. It got tons of dust in it and the fan started to make noise--I was sure it would fail but it's still running 6 months later. I also dropped a heavy pan on it and cracked the surface near the capacitive buttons--and it still works. I have zero complaints about this little stovetop.

Two of these is better than a 4 burner cooktop. I was able to use a 110 outlet instead of a 220 required by most double units. Both burners can be used on full power at the same time. Others with 2 burners either require a 220 outlet installed by electrician or one burner can be on full power and the other is on low power. I put 2 together to fill the space left by my gas cooktop with a vent behind it to fill the space. It was cheaper and better than a 2 burner unit. I took a razor blade and scratched off the white paint lettering. It looks more high end now and you can still read the text.

We installed this into the counter of our shuttle bus build out. It has worked perfectly for the past few months of constant use. It uses about 700watts on the 2.5 setting and uses about 1500watts on the 8 setting. Those are the two settings we use most frequently. It's easy to clean and looks slick. Highly recommend.

Nice

Bought this as an experiment to see if induction cooking meets hype. Unit works very well for moderate tasks but less so for larger jobs like boiling a large pot of water for pasta. The fan in the unit is noisy. This would be excellent for an RV, boat galley or tiny house where electricity is limited and close quarters create a burn risk.

Low temperature controls are not great. Once you cut the counter top you're stuck with Duxtop because there's nothing else on the market with the same dimensions.
