   Loving Hubby & Father of 4 – September 26, 2019

   I’ve just purchased this on a whim as I’ve really wanted something to speed up the breakfast preparation. First, the unit I received was exactly what was described – kudos to the seller for accurate product information. (Increasingly rare in Amazon today). I’ve had it 3 days now and have used it for 3 meal preps. It came out of the box and made dinner – teriyaki chicken – my favorite – how’d it know? (kidding)I use this with an Epicurious Aluminum pot set (Bed Bath & Beyond has them). They are induction ready, save the square griddler pan – it’s not. These pans all have compatibility symbols laser-etched in the bottom. These pans heat up very fast with this induction cooktop! Wow. The main stove is a radiant heat cook top from LG. I do love it, but it’s not nearly as fast. As of now, I cut all my fresh ingredients for my morning omelet directly into my favorite skillet. (Previously I’d cut them separately in a bowl and wait 10 minutes for my skillet to heat up on the radiant cook top). Add a little butter, place the skillet on the iSiler and turn it on. The amount of time for required for my ingredients to reach grilling temperature now is 3 minutes or less. (I’ve been using the temp setting on 280 or 320 for this, and 420 for the teriyaki chicken). I then lower the heat setting and pour in the egg mixture. I really do like how the induction surface doesn’t hold the heat! The temperature drops rapidly and I don’t scorch the eggs! Perfect! The radiant top will boil water for quite some time after being turned off. Water ceases to boil within moments of being turned off.Regarding the cooktop itself:At first use there’s the noise you get to deal with. There’s a fan in the unit the keeps itself cool – which is VERY important to its longevity. It’s not bad at all, but not something I’m not used to hearing. Then, there’s a bit of a Frankentstein-electric-whirring going on. It’s not loud, but noticeable and a bit scary at first. I didn’t want to touch the pan at all! I don’t know if this sound is coming from the cooktop or the pans. If you remove the pan the cooktop senses no pan present and immediately halts and sounds a tone indicating something’s amiss. That said, the electric whirring/static’y noise stops too. Again, not sure if it’s the pans or the coil in the cooktop making the noise. (it makes the same noises with the other pans I’ve tried). On the larger pans, the heat does seem to be localized in the middle. And not a full 8 inch middle. It’s closer to 4-6 inches. I’m guessing the coil is sized for 8 inch pans. I have a 8 and 10 inch skillet. Both work great, but the larger skillet is very hot in just the center. Keep this in mind when using larger pans – you’ll need to give the whole pan a bit longer to heat up. This is really only an issue when sauteing a 10 inch skillet of veggies. Those in the middle get scorched perfectly, those around the outside do not. As time progressed the pan did have a bit more even heat. This may be the pan, but I’m guessing it’s a small induction coil. The surface of this cooktop seems to be made of something very similar to my radiant heat cooktop on the stove. Not sure, but very similar.Recommendation to iSiler: Please make a larger cooktop with auto-sensing dual coils for larger pans/skillets and send me one. I have 4 hungry teens and cook large amounts of food quickly.After cooking and turning the unit off, the fan stays on while the surface is hot. It does turn itself off (based on temperature I’m guessing) while the surface is actually still TOO HOT TO TOUCH! The system still reads an H on the display. Don’t be dopey and burn yourself.Recommendation to iSiler: Adjust the temperature sensor to not turn the fan off until the unit is 100 F or less – or to coincide with the H reading on the temp display. This way the sound of the fan turning off will be a great signal that the cook top can also be handled, cleaned, and stored. I’ve had to wait 10 minutes or more after the fan has turned off before the surface is cool enough to handle/wipe clean. (after the chicken teriyak in the 10 inch skillet). This will also prolong the life of the entire unit.Overall, I’m very pleased and would consider this a great gift idea for those that LOVE to cook. (and a great idea for newly weds learning to cook). I’d buy it again, no doubts. I’ll update my review in a few months.Notes on cooking with this: It’s not the oven top/stove. It sits on the counter/island. Buy a spatter shield for your pots/pans and save yourself some cleanup time. You’ll be glad you did and gladder you bought this cooktop from iSiler.

   Great product, terrible beep, easy fix.0. You’ll want to wipe down the surface of your cooktop, and unplug it. At this point I should note that you are responsible for your own safety, the voiding of your warranty, you forgetting that you were just using your hot plate as a space heater for four hours and burning something, and so on. Follow these (simple) instructions at your own risk.1. Flip the cooktop over. There should be six readily apparent Phillips screws on the back. You don’t need to remove any of the rubber footing or any seals. Remove the six screws and separate the heating element from the cooktop surface.2. Now, there should be a board next to the heating element. Not the one obscured by the heating element, the one with the springs that was contacting the control panel, the one you touch when you adjust heat and use the power button. On this board, you want to locate a small black cylinder labelled ZLFY. Honestly, it’s the only thing that really looks like a speaker, and if you Google the code etched on it (which you always should) it confirms that it’s the super annoying buzzer that makes this product a 3/5 instead of a 5/5, because I use a hot plate to cook at 3 am when everyone’s asleep.3. To remove this buzzer, you could pull the board up, go get your soldering kit, and desolder it from the other side. But what I tried, so that you wouldn’t have to, is just snapping it off with needlenose pliers, which worked perfectly. BE CAREFUL: These boards are easier than you might think to break. There are two pieces to the buzzer, and the first one you can pull off more or less perpendicular to the board with your pliers. But the piece that’s actually soldered on won’t come off like this. You will feel the board straining if you try it. Firmly grip it with the pliers at an angle and steadily twist it off the board. It should come right off. If it doesn’t, it’s possible yours just has more solder, but I suspect most people will be able to do this with ease.4. The thermal paste on the heating element will be unsealed, but given that this entire device is designed to cook chicken, not play Minecraft, and they barely used thermal paste on mine to begin with, I think it’ll be fine. If not, I’ll report back with a guide about how it takes five seconds to replace thermal paste.5. Reassemble heating element and cooktop surface with six Phillips screws. The beep should be gone.If you try this, please post the outcome.Edit: It has been five days and cooking is going fine without replacing the thermal paste.

   Palmetto State – November 14, 2022

   About a year ago I replaced my aging GE stove with a slick new glass top stove. Approx. $750. Rapid boil and all the bells and whistles I felt affordable. But I was a little disappointed as rapid boil is no better than my old GE stove. So, I saw this device and figured I would venture the world of induction. I love that I can set the temperature. Now there much less overheating especially when I want to go from a boil to a simmer. and compared to my fancy glass top this thing will heat up a pan of water to a boil in no time. I am very happy with it and I regret no buying an induction stove top as a replacement. Most of my pans are induction ready (steel or magnetic) and only a few are just aluminum. I was ignorant but now I’m not.

   SusieQ – November 23, 2022

   I created a kitchen on a second floor in a large residential work / live property. I tried to avoid needed an oven or stove by setting up two instant pots, one with air fryer attachment, coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster oven and microwave. I have a large deep electric skillet, but desired one burner for smaller needs like boiling a large pot of water or a pot of homemade hot chocolate. This cooktop is sleek and elegant. Perfectly sized for a small countertop. Cord is perfect length for safety. Thin and easy to store – like pulling out a dinner plate. It takes the old hot plate concept to a luxury level. The controls work well (it even toggles between temperature setting and timer – and shuts off at end of the timer if set – a brilliant feature for cooking and safety). I highly recommend for small cooking settings, an addition to an outdoor barbecue, or a butlers pantry. It heats and cools nicely. I’ve only had to lightly wipe it down so far so cleaning is a breeze.
