Daughters are awesome 😊

They weren't that expensive when new. Maybe 25.00? Shipping would kill you though. Iron isn't light. The device does feel like a substantial object. Probably from the copper coil; I can't see that you'd need to weight it like a cell phone. They do that so it doesn't feel flimsy.

😁 Just ordered mine 2021 Babyyyyy. I can't wait to try her.

Elizabeth Cummins Thanks, glad we can help :)

We're going on 8yrs with them and they are still going strong!

Yep, totally agree, ours are 8 maybe even 9 yrs old. We have 3 of them and not an issue with any.

+Adeline Sambuaga We still love our cooktops. We use them 3-4 times a week. No complaints, they work great.

It will only heat the induction ready cookware...it will not heat the glass. The glass only gets hot SECONDARILY from the hot cookware....after the cookware heats up.

So... We have 3 of these, they are beyond 8yrs old and they still work great !!

the stove is all I can about it. Wow, same as the first day you got it? I am going to use this as my primary cooking source, that is good to know.

What nonstick cookware doesn't degrade over time with use?

Glad it was helpful!

Walter Vega Walt, Glad you liked this review. We have been using ours for almost every recipe we make. they are holding up well. just make sure you have the right cookware.

Maybe 6 feet? I wouldn't put these on an extension, they're usually real short for a good reason.

How did it come out?

came out great. too easy@@BurningcerealShow

It was the exact same time using gas w no lid, just saying. They were identical. I haven't tried anything else yet. But the fact they make these in dumb, odd sizes so you HAVE to buy their expensive lids makes me annoyed. I'd use this for the less space and no residual heat thing. Or in a camper.

+Maurice Coleman We dont have Aldi in our area. I have shopped there before when I was in Dusseldorf and loved that place.

+Clyde Cash -- Thank you.

I thought they were decent. We got the earlier one, have 2 pans, both stupid, odd sizes so you can't use your old ones, and the pot w/skewers. We got 2 induction units. With shipping in 2016 or 17, it was 203.00. Be careful in hospitals when bored, that's how we wound up w these! Lol They boil a cup of water equal to a gas stove on high (no lid). Haven't tried more water or used a lid in my experiments yet. They're slightly lighter and very slightly less quality than the Italian made cookware ceramic set in great I bought in...2021 for...250, was it? They're speckled grey. Lifetime warranty. All have lids. Or several at least. NONE fit these pans. They're all stupid, odd sizes. 9.5 and 10.75! Probably just use the larger one and let it hang over if it's safe. Dummies. Just make it match the pans, and most people (women, of course) like when stuff goes together! For me, tho, it makes it WAY harder to get rid of any part I don't use! Because its a SET! LOL. I'll be VALUABLE kept together (no. Probably not)

Shannon Sharp-Dillman Good to hear Shannon. Considering I pay for this stuff out of my own pocket, all my reviews are right to the point an honest as hell. If I like it I'll tell you why, and if I don't I'll tell you that too and probably add some snarky remark.

Ours are more than 8 years old and still running great !

The microwave cycles on and off also. It is the same principle.

+henders98 - No none of mine do that (I have 3). They are all about 2 years old and running well.

+Stacey Lynch - Hi Stacey, Well its been almost 3 years since I tested this product. I still use it on a regular basis. I actually used it so much I found I could use more. Now I have 3. All work flawlessly.

Use the magnet "trick"

You can't use the lids, either! They made all odd sizes. Lol. I plan to use them and hang over a bit. I'd add to my gas for more space or for camping. Or in summer.

Ours are pushing 10 years old now and we still use them very frequently ! They are awesome!

if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan (with cast iron it should) your good to go. These units use a magnetic field to excite the molecules in the pan, which is what causes the heat. Yes the pan itself is what heats up this is why these cookers are so efficient.

+Jermilia - I have 3 cooktops and don't have a complaint with any of them.

I think for $79 (at the time of filming) it isn't that advanced. If it was able to tell the temp of the pan the cost would be much higher.

+carolyna otero - They are available at many locations. Just google Nuwave PIC2. I don't want to tell you where to spend your hard earned money.

Welcome!

Hi Mark, thanks for the insight, we have been using these units (we have 3) for many many years, almost 99% of the time in an outdoor setting. For what we use them for they are great, but I do understand your thoughts.

They are still around, I see them every now and then

Mark Felty So far so good. We use them quite a bit.

BB and B has gotten just hideously overpriced on most things and they did away w the lifetime, no BS warranty (here, please give me a new one) for that tremendously high markup! I might have a 75.00 Cephalon pan, very solid. The no stick eventually wears off and it's trash. Well, Aldi will have something about 75% as nice (DO NOT buy cheap tools there, my friend badly hurt himself on their cheap, dull drill bits. They were new, never used) and it'll be probably under 20. Costco will sell you a US made one for about 20, too. W a lid! Always hang onto those lids, like microwave plates and coffee carafes. If you shatter it, you're done. At least one spare. They should just SELL or give you a spare part. Duh.

You're welcome !!

Not sure I understand the question, but No we didn't return it, we still use it, and actually have 3 of them.

I still love my NuWave, we have 3 and they all still work great !

You mean the late, great Ron Popeil. His stuff was at a big mansion turned museum and far as I could tell, it ALL still WORKED! His round cheese grater was all metal. No shattering of cheap plastic!

+strife725 I personally don't use the pan that came with the unit all that often. I have a different set of pans I use. I prefer to use cast iron when I can

+BurningCereal What pans do you prefer to use? Maybe I could try them. I have a cast iron one, but being as heavy as it is I don't use it that much lol.

We currently use these the most, Bialetti Aeternum. You've seen us use them. They are the red set of pots and pans we use. They are in our budget and seem to work really well. We got them at Bed Bath & Beyond, in California. Hope that helps.

+BurningCereal Thanks :). I have seen those.

You can use any induction pan you may have. Just do the magnet test and you should be fine.

I dunno. Boiling a cup of water on this vs. gas, the time to full boil was the exact same. Pans weigh only very slightly less. Than nice ceramic (and I despise ceramic b/c it sticks; mine don't) They didn't come with lids to stop spatter and they're not standard size, either. At least not the pans you get from them. Small one is 9.5, large is 10.75. Yup. Dumb as hell. Lol. I have no lids. If you did, you could make the whole thing faster, yes? I didn't compare lidded pan on gas to induction w/o yet.

Journeyman Curry Man Never mind. I just replayed the video and saw what it does. This must be the PIC2 and it doesn't decrement and increment by ten as advertised. It first adjusts any temperature ending in a 5 by 5 degrees and THEN by ten. This is very misleading on the part of NuWave.

Journeyman Curry Man You are correct. PIC2

sir is this unit works in 220v?

🤔🤔🤔😂🤣😂🤣😂🙄😒

Cast iron...plain and simple, if a magnet sticks. It's going to work. The stronger the magnetic pull the better. After all, that's what induction cooking is.

I do not know. This was the US version with a 110 US plug

We still use ours, we have several.

I am unaware of one. I am picking up some new Nuwave cooktops in a few weeks. My older ones were still good after 9 years of heavy use, but it is time to update the tools. Gave them to a friend an he is now using them.

5280 Street Dogs Yes they will. I have used mine a few times. Just make sure the bottom is smooth so you don't scratch the cooktop.

One video shows a silicon mat that protects the top from scratches.

I use cast iron al the time and have never had a problem. Not sure why that would be.

The must be "Induction" ready pans
