I was a skeptic. I kept reading about various problems with induction cooktops, everything from annoying buzzing sounds, rattling cookware, loud fans, inadequate simmer, etc.
Well, I'm here to say I am SOLD on induction and love my Bonsenkitchen unit. It is easy to use, heats up fast, has good simmer, is very efficient on power usage and is attractive. A few tips & hints from my usage so far:
1) I use cast iron and find it works perfectly. While other cookware can and does work well, cast iron is solid metal with strong magnetic attraction.
2) I read about issues with scratching the glass cooktop with cast iron which can tend to have rough bottom surfaces. One solution is to use a piece of parchment paper, which I did at first. Then I stumbled on using a silicone baking mat (I currently use a rectangular one which hangs off the edges, but have a square one on order). It not only prevents scratches, but provides a soft surface to put the pots & pans on.
3) I only use the power cooking mode, not temperature mode. I think that the temperature mode is a source of frustration for many users of induction cookware. The unit is only able to estimate the temperature at the bottom of the pot and this is prone to error. With the power mode, you are in full control, and since it heats up / cools down so quickly, it is as easy as tapping + / - as needed. Also, I tend to only use the lower power modes (P6 and below), as I find it heats things up quickly enough and uses a bit less power.
4) As I was curious, I hooked up a watt-meter to see how the power was used. At lower settings, it cycles on and off so that the average usage is whatever the power is set to, for example at P1 (100 watts), it will cycle a few hundred watts on and off, though this is undetectable in practice.
Closing thoughts: My main cooking source has been a propane stove/oven, but I am enjoying this cooktop so much that I've gone to only using the oven on propane, all stovetop cooking has moved to the Bonsenkitchen induction cooktop.

Amazing!
This little cook top was one of my best purchases from Amazon ever. It cooks better than the Viking gas range I have in my kitchen and is much more predictable. It boils water in half the time and turns down the heat in a second. I liked it so much, until a careless employee dropped a large couch, a set of cross country skis and a large heavy bed head board on me at once. I caught the sofa but the skis and the head board made a direct hit on the cook top and my freezer - smashing the cook top into hundreds of pieces. I was lucky the head board didn't hit me or I may not be here to tell the story. I missed the cook top so much that I went on Amazon and ordered three to replace it. I never want to be without it.
