Flex Precision Induction Cooktop, 6.5” Heating Coil, Black | 10.25” Shatter-Resistant Ceramic Glass, 45 Temps from 100°F to 500°F, 3 Wattage Settings 600, 900 & 1300 Watts

Bought one in late 1/2024 after the one I purchased several years earlier stopped working. I use this stove top almost daily for almost everything. Tonight I made Lamb chops and they came out perfect. I also have a small pied a terre oven that I rarely use because this cooktop works so well for me. This one cooks on low to 400F I usually use 175 to 225. If I get busy doing something else it automatically turns off. I have a nice ceramic cook set and all the pieces work well on this stove and after using these for months on this Nuwave the pots and pans still look like new even on the bottoms. I actually like my pied a terre kitchen more than the large kitchen in my home. It gives me more control and I get great results virtually every time. I’m planning to buy one of another of these with the built in sensor during th sale. I have 7 and 8 yr old granddaughters who help me some in my kitchen and I don’t need to worry constantly that they will burn themselves because this only heats up when a pan is on the element and it covers the burner. I just need to be careful that the heated food doesn’t cause burns. Their NYC apt has a gas stove which can be a fire hazard. I’ve seen the induction units that can work anywhere under kitchen counters and would like to see this company produce one of these.

I have 2 of these now. The other is a larger version. I cook...a lot. These units are great. Even though I'm by myself I can run 2 at the same time depending on the situation. The smaller one is for sous vide cooking and the larger one is for bigger situations if I'm cooking in bulk. The beauty of them is that I can set the temperature, set a time, and walk away. This works great for sous vide as it shuts off automatically so I never burn anything or over cook the proteins. Great for senior citizens who have possible memory issues. Also has a wattage setting for energy saving. Do your research but these were the best I could find for the price.

Great product. Good quality. Can hear the fan whooshing sound but not annoying. However, suggest the following improvements to its maker: 1. Beeps are too loud. Needs a sound level adjustment so it is pet friendly 2. Timer can be more useful if we can change the default 2 hrs every time its switched on. It needs a save option. Its cumbersome to use and can use a Reset and "add 30 secs" buttons 3. Stage function needs a save option too. For instance, for cooking pasta, stage 1 can be 5 mins to boil water, stage 2 cook for 8 mins, stage 3 keep warm for 20 mins. This takes time to enter but it forgets the moment its turned off. So I don't bother using it. bummer.

I'd 5 Star it but it doesn't work with almost all of my pots and pans. Thankfully I had an old one that it does work with and I can make pasta in under 5 minutes with it. Use a fridge magnet to test your pans - if it sticks to it, they should work.

I have an old gas stove which the top is starting to cave on. Rather than spending approx. $5000 to replace it, I found these to be the perfect solution.... I live alone & don't do serious cooking so various appliances do the job for me. This 3rd burner came as a set with a 2 burner unit & is great because I didn't have to do any electrical modifications. It would have been necessary for me to run a 220 line for the 4 burner units. 3 burners is plenty for me so that's a cost savings too. These units are easy to operate, easy to clean. I can use some of my existing stainless steel pots on them, although I purchased a small set of induction cookware just in case. Fits well on any countertop. The portability is great for traveling & makes it nice to save money on eating out all the time. This burner has its own carrying case.. The burners & pot get hot only when an item is cooking but is safer for curious pets than traditional burners. The temperatures are accurate. The unit heats quickly to the desired temperature & cools down quickly when not in use.. Easy to operate & clean.

I received this item in good condition. I tested with my EcoFlow power supply and was surprised to find that my power station was indicating more than 600 watts; it did not overload the power supply. I cooked some fried eggs and bacon, and it performed as expected. My power supply has 800+ watts hours, and it has only consumed 16% of the battery. I plan to use it during my camping trip. It is a good investment.

I'd often considered giving a try to an inductive cooktop, especially for emergency situations when my traditional burner-coil electric range couldn't be used. However, many of the devices out there had such an extensive list of conflicting reviews that it was hard to figure out what really did and didn't work. Eventually, I settled on the NuWave Flex PIC and picked it up as renewed, simply to have some real experience and to know where to go from here. Now that I've had a few days to give it a real run, here's what I've found for this little cooktop. Please note that my test settings were on Medium heat with the power limited to 900W instead of the full 1300W. * This cooktop uses around 30% to 50% of the energy needed by a traditional range (2200W burner). Example: In a real comparison test using a specified and equal portion of food under conditions of cold start to completion of cooking, the traditional range consumed 458Wh to cook while this cooktop consumed only 200Wh. * This cooktop heats up much faster than the traditional range. Example: An 8" skillet with a pat of butter goes from start to sizzle in 30 seconds on medium. The traditional range takes 5 minutes to do the same at medium. Example: A pan of soup takes roughly the same time to heat up as a microwave, but the microwave is at 100% power (1100W) and the cooktop is only set to Medium. The traditional range would take 2x-3x longer to heat the same amount of soup. * This cooktop can be set quickly and simply, but it can also be fine-adjusted for specific temperatures. The easy settings are slightly more involved than the 'turn it on' of the traditional range, but that's only because you need to remember to press 'start' after setting the heat. The efficiency of the cooktop alone is enough to make me prefer using it over a traditional range. Add the fact that it also cools down faster, takes up minimal space, it's portable, and the max current input is low enough to be handled through any 15A outlet, and it's an easy sell. However, there are a few drawbacks: * It doesn't like when you lift the pan. This is a safety feature, but it goes into alarm rather fast and you need to remember to check it and potentially turn it back on after you've lifted the pan. * Needs "Inductive-ready" cookware. Yes, some of your pots and pans might not work. Thankfully, induction-ready cookware is also readily available and isn't overly expensive. * Noise: The inductive cooktop has a fan to keep the electronics cooled. This means that it needs space around it for airflow and it's noisier than a traditional range. * Timer: I haven't personally used this cooktop for long cooking times, but you need to be aware that there is a default timer on this unit. If you want to use it for something that will take more than an hour, you'll want to reset the timer accordingly or the cooktop will shut off on you.

I have happily used a NuWave cook top since 2013 but now I am completely off Nuwave products. My first NuWave lasted 5 years ....but that was good in my mind because I used it for almost every meal, every day. There are only two of us in the house and using the cooktop was more energy efficient than using the burners on an electric stove. In 2017 I replaced that NuWave cook top (it began serging power supply) with another one, the PIC with wattage controls (see photo). The problems with that one were: inaccurate temp control and a command panel cover that fell apart (photo #2)within a few weeks. The temp control ran the cook top way too hot but I learned to work around by cooking according to how the food was responding to the setting. I worked around the crappy control panel cover by covering the buttons with clear, heavy duty tape. All was going well until I killed the cooktop three weeks ago by having frying oil boil over and it ran into the internals. Fast forward to today. I reordered the same cooktop before Thanksgiving, it never arrived, Amazon sent a replacement and it arrived Dec 16th. Yay! BUT ... this morning (17th) I plugged it in and the central digit in the temperature read out was not lighted (photo #1). I went ahead and scrambled some eggs and the temp setting seemed to work accurately. There was the expected Eau de Beijing as it warmed up. So after contemplating the fact that this unit was clearly not given QA attention, I was concerned about WHAT ELSE? might be wrong with it. While the purchase price was reasonable, that overrode the idea that this unit would very possibly crap out on me at any moment. Or become dangerous. Or both. Finally, I do not want to go through a return and replace again, only to get another suspect product. Sorry, NuWave. It was nice while it lasted but you broke my heart when you gave up our relationship for a few more pennies in your own pocket. You didn't even ask if I would compromise and pay you enough to cover the cost of quality upkeep. At least now you won't also be breaking my pocket book. p.s. I show you in photos the bouquet of skillets you sent me in the past just so you will remember that we go way back.

The best part about this inductive cooktop is the low to high preset buttons. It makes the cooking process easier because I don’t have to adjust the temperature from the lowest to high. It heats up the pan fairly quick and is space saving. I have been using this for more than 6 months with no issues. There are also three wattage settings which makes it energy efficient.

Selectable power, I set it to 600w and my food not only won't burn, it cooks without sticking to the pressure cooker. The fan shuts down after use, unlike others that keep running. Customer service went out of their way to help me with a small issue. Highly recommended.

This is one of my best purchases. Up to now I have had to make do with a regular electric coil cooker. This has revolutionized my meal prep. It is quick, clean and very responsive to temp change. You can hear to fan inside, but it does not bother me at all. I use it with an induction burner mat (Silicone & fiberglass).

This product works good. I’ve had it now. A while couple of years never had no trouble with it. A great piece of equipment.

Have used twice since receiving and blown away by power! Tinned baked beans were ready in just over 90 seconds ! Balsnaic mushrooms in approx 2.5 mins! Super impressed!
