Great addition to the kitchenHelenI haven’t used my ancient coil topped electric burners since I bought this. It heats stuff incredibly fast so it’s a bit of a learning curve if you’re not used to this type of element. As a bonus has a hook for hanging or can stand upright on the countertop. 5

Interesting Introduction to Induction CooktopsAnonymous reviewerBought this appliance for those times when an extra element is needed, so it spends most of it's time in a closet. It works fine with almost all our pots and pans and definitely brings liquids to boil quicker than our electric glass stovetop. Only complaint is the actual cooking element is fairly small, measuring somewhere between 5 and 6" diameter, evidenced by the boiling pattern of liquids in larger pots. This caused center bowing in a cheaper 12" frypan as there was only heat in the center, and not near the edges, so I don't recommend using this with larger pieces of cookware.4
Induction Hot plateEarlThis is my first Induction cooker. I find it fast and efficient. My only complaint is the size of the burner. it is too small for a large pan. I wish there were some larger burner are cookers like tis one.4
The perfect gift MiaMy friend truly loves this 5
It does what it saysKatrinaThe controls are easy to use, the appliance is very easy to keep clean, and it is an excellent size. It has been my sole every day cooker. It is a good choice to use before using a new flat top stove. I needed to learn and practice my muscle memory to be more careful of the surface. I had the habit of shaking the pan on an element when sautéing which is a prime way scratches happen. I've used it now for 5 months and am very happy with it, and have no scratches. I bought it because I accidentally killed my electric coil stove with water in the electrics while cleaning it. I wanted to know if I should buy another electric coil or a glass top electric, or an induction. Buying this single element was an inexpensive way of finding out. 5
Induction hotplate Tillreda is a great productBarbIt does not smell bad when its on, unlike some other brands. Love that it has a loop for hanging it up. I like the clean look of just on and off. Very reasonable price. 4
So far, great.DavidI recently purchased a Tillreda and so far it's been great, if not excellent. My 2 year old Duxtop cooktop started acting up (inconsistent temp, fluctuating) so I thought I'd try this Ikea cooker on the recommendation of Wirecutter. So far it seems powerful and is working perfectly. It's also simple, smaller, stylish, and most impressively MUCH quieter than my pervious cooktop. Time will tell if I get my money's worth. I'll update this with any changes if I can. Thanks Ikea. 5
GreatNestorSimple and practical. Great temperature control.5
2 years of love undone in 1 nightTiffanyIve had this thing for nearly 2 year and it carried me through many hotpot nights and makeshift kbbq sessions. I honestly loved this product and used to recommend it to all my friends until it randomly blew a fuse(?) while i was cooking risotto.
I was using it on medium heat for approx 45mins... which i have done many times in the past. This time around i saw a spark and the plug prong basically melted. I tried different products in the same outlet right after and they worked fine.
Basically I would NOT recommend based on the longevity of the wiring and the safety of the product. Especially seeing how it malfunctioned right AFTER the 2 year warrenty period. 3
Dorm cook top ColleenBought this for my daughter who is living in a college dorm- she loves it and uses it a lot. It meets safety requirements for the residence with auto turn off . IKEA sells pots and pans that work with this product. Great! 5
Works wellAgnesTake all the Safety precautions seriously, and make sure you use the right size for induction suitable pots and pans.

Good as it is expected.AdrianIt will be nice to show the temperature. And of course will be great to have an alternative for one device with two eyes for two pans4

Stovetop-less KitchenSamanthaGreat workaround for my kitchen which did not have a stovetop.5
Best Purchase EverAmaritWe just bought this over the weekend on a whim as I’ve been looking to cook strong smelling food outdoors in the backyard. Holy moly am I impressed with this induction cooktop. Within a couple minutes the onions were sweating in the pots and I had my evening dinner done in about 1 hour. Best part was there’s no suffering through my gas stove which I have to step away from as soon as I turn on to avoid inhaling fumes which irritate my lungs. I was worried the kids or possibly a random animal would burn themselves on it but nope, no need to worry with this. As soon as the dinner was ready, I turned off the plate and wiped it down and put it away. It was warm to touch but that was it. I’m back here and will be ordering 2 more so I can have a couple burners going at one time outside.5
Best portable induction topMichaelWhat caught our eye was the simplicity. No ugly banners or multiple controls, just what's needed. The price beats the competition. The unit makes no noise. We tried numerous other units and they made as much noise as a microwave. Very quick heat. All together a winning product.5
Used it to cook duringLadaUsed it to cook during renovation. Bought it also to get a feel of comfort with an induction cooktop.4
Now I can cook more things!NigelI used to only be able to cook four things, but now I can cook FIVE THINGS5
For about 3 months sinceCarolinaFor about 3 months since I bought this, I was enjoying the use of induction until yesterday, I noticed it started to show like a scratch. It started with one scratch & then it progresses to more than one. Decided to check these scratches & realized it wasn’t a scratch. It were cracks. It was deteriorating. I Was so disappointed.2
