The Kenwood unit is good even though its more expensive (RM 400+) than other single hob type induction cooker. I gave it to my brother and he is still using it after 5 years. That's how durable it is. The Vigico unit is just superb... I can go home during lunchtime (only 5 minute drive)  and cook  a meal because it heats up so fast. However, if your cooking experience is mostly using gas cooker... you'd be suprised how fast you can prepare meals for 4 persons using induction cooker. Normally, I would cook rice using microwave oven (15 minutes) and at the same time cook the main dish (chicken, lamb or fish) about 15-20 minutes. And cook either soup, tomyam or stir fry vegies using the other hob. So normally it's just half an hour of chopping and cooking.

Huh you ask us the users back? I thought you work wth Phillips b4 from yopur earlier posting biggrin.gif

Anyway, Induction cooker is not new tech. It's the same concept used by rice cooker, water boiler & more..The only differences, the coil of rice cooker & water boiler is covered wth another layuer of steel & this steel heated up the water/ rice. Induction is below the glass/or clay & heated up the pot on top of the clay top.

Similar tech in the upcoming imvisible charger..i.e they develop this old tech and in futur we no need wired charger liao.. biggrin.gif

What is health rate? You cook using gas the fire is emitting CO2 into your house. Induction cooker depending on source of electricity also emit CO2 at the power plant, unless if the electricity comes from renewable sources such as wind or solar (maybe nuclear and hydro as well).

luls, i knew Philips products are crap, one day itself about 30 to 40 induction cooker will come in, half the sets internally burned, cosmetic damage, glass broken, exploded, burnt to the max etc. Health wise im not sure as i haven't cooked anything to eat on this induction cooker as in my house we still use gas smile.gif nod.gif I'm not sure about other brands and the quality of it.

Same cocept-lah.. Also part of electro magnetic energy.. The induction of the rice cooker causing the surface of the rice pot touching the heated steel plate dur to the electro magnetic field below the steel plate. The water bopiler also using same concept

I bought a hiwell local brand induction cooker and it's been fine working for at least a year plus, nothing happen - yet. the best part of it? only around Rm79 if not mistaken.

by the way, anyone know what kind of material pot that i should buy to replace the original pot that comes with it? I would like to fry some stuff.

There are two type of cooker, one is flat & another curve for the Chinese style cooking wok (But more expensive & very difficult to find)..Last time got few Korean brand (Selling in Jusco) having this type of cooker..very expensive..
