We recently purchased a Wolf induction cooktop to replace our 1970 electric eye cooktop.
While doing research all showed that the induction cooktop is the most economical due to the rapid heating and extreme precision of heat control. Only concern, is the possibility of having to upgrade the electrical circuit to accommodate the increased current draw, the Wolf calls for a 40 Amp circuit and 8 GA wire (if memory is right). Luckily, the old electric cooktop had been wired with the right wiring and breaker size. Most reviews people have a standard 30 Amp circuit.
As for usage, we love the induction cooktop, we did have to buy all new cookware, as only one was compatible with eh induction cooking. We purchased All-Clad and have nothing but rave reviews of both the induction cooktop and the even heating of the All-Clad cookware.
Water in a cold pot will boil (without using boost feature) in under 3 minutes, on the old cooktop, it took 8 minutes to get to a boil.
the temperature control is crazy fast and precise.
We've had ours about a month and just love the look and all the functions of it.
