I have not purchased this product, but just wanted others to know that you need Iron Utensils for cooking on induction cookware. In general, if a magnet attracts to the bottom of the cookware, it can be used on a induction cooktop. Aluminum, glass, ceramic, copper are not suitable for induction. Cast iron and SOME stainless steels are good. Carry a small magnet when shopping for induction cookware. The manufacturers will often state "induction ready" or similar wording on the packaging

This induction cooktop looks good and has a number of useful features. There is a slight delay in tactile feedback; or on occasions, you need to press a bit hard on supposedly 'feature touch' buttons. The manual is unattractive; no recipe books are included. For those using such a product for the first time, the lack of a good beginner's guide is indeed regrettable. The outer build is entirely plastic an it's all white: which means, it can easily become discoloured. The plastic feels kind of cheap. Make sure you get your free gift. Wonderful packing and delivery by Flipkart.

Flipkart: Ordered on 10th Nov 2012, Received on: 21st Nov 2012 - Best Offer (at the time of ordering), Brilliant packaging. The product was delivered to the exact location by First Flight Couriers. Delivery Related problem: It took 11 days to deliver the product! Thought it was supposed to reach by 19th Nov 2012. 'I guess it happens sometimes.' The Product: Philips HD4909 Induction Cook Top (Black) Price when ordered: Rs.4228.00 + (Free: Frying Pan worth Rs 1295) Price when reviewing: Rs. 4228.00 + (Free: Frying Pan worth Rs 1295) Pros: Elegant looking product, Feels Sturdy and Durable, 2100 Watts Power, User Manual (Hard copy provided), Touch Screen Button, good quality glass top, no worries of getting electrocuted (it has no metal parts on its body) and FREE Frying Pan. Cons: Power cord length is not too long, No Cookbooks provided, Body is made up of white plastic - thought tough and sturdy but may become discolored, touch controls could be improved, poor online product support, warranty card not filled but the invoice can be used for warranty purpose, little humming noise all the time (your ears will get accustomed to them after some use) from the fans (all Induction Cook tops have this drawback). #The Frying Pan (FREE) had one screw missing for attaching its handle. I would strongly recommend this product. It has the most consistent reviews on Flipkart until now. P.S. It is highly recommended to buy a set of Induction Cookware to utilize this product to its maximum potential. One can also use 'ANY' steel/ stainless steel/ iron/ enamel cast iron utensils. Aluminum, copper or glass cookware will not work unless they have a layer on the bottom with magnetic properties.

induction stove cooking is fabulous..no additional heat from the cook top ..no wastage of time...absolute safety....just watchout for the working principle of induction stove and you will be amazed how the heating happens. Just by magnetic vibration of atoms the product is heated..this have vast advantages compared to traditional cooking meaans....this product has max reviews and after buying it and using it iam really satisfied. The power socket is small regular one and fits normal houshold sockets..so need not worry about it..this was one thing which i was really concerned about as there are big socket products in market too..the free tawa provided is a master piece....great quality ...the shape of this cook top with legs on is convenient as at times things tend to spill over and it acts as additional safety....touch is responsive ...the heating response is fast. Pre set times are very useful...the timer function is again very good utility that takes pressure off ur mind while leaving things unattended. There are many cook tops the market is flooded with..this is a safe bet...flipkart service as always was amazing. It came in a good gift wrap....a must buy if ur still using traditional cooking means...make use of the technology guys..this is no less than a gadget

I got this because it has wide surface area and you can use bigger utensils and it cooks the food fast.When you start on this device you will see the fans are turned on during cooking and after cooking that is because it will cool the electronic circuit and the surface after cooking.The quality of the product is really good.Has excellent finish and touch sensor is really good.It is built for indian cooking dishes.Only thing you need is induction cookware which has flat base and must be magnetic to work on this.The another advantage is it consumes less power compared with other brands
