Vees and FOTILE's 1 electricity consumption is about the same, no such thing as save electricity. It does save electricity as the hob will automatically turn off when it reach certain temperature than turn back on by itself when temperature drop at cut in point. This is more to safety feature not energy saving which both FOTILE and Vees also have.
Induction is usually more energy saving, if u look at the catalogs, inductions usually require 13-15amp only. While ceramic hob 20amp.
If you are using gas and wanna switch to induction, you will notice that most of your pots/wok cant b used on induction, so you will need to get new one's. This is why most people hate to get induction and demand for it is low, so FOTILE discontinued their induction hob and replace with ceramic. However, induction is more efficient and energy saving.

QUOTE(angerger @ Apr 25 2016, 01:36 PM) [attachmentid=6479853] Hi Zheil Fotile hob need only 20amp ? What is the brochure refering to when it says 25Amp? You can use the 20amp switch similar to air-con but wire make sure can take the load of 4000 watt. for the 25amp i think they recommend it for EEG 75201 (4500 watt) This post has been edited by zheilwane: Apr 25 2016, 03:51 PM

QUOTE(EneriW @ Mar 8 2018, 01:48 PM) I'm using senz induction + ceramic for about 6 months. I used one of my stainless steel pot on the induction side, an error message appeared. I called the dealer and they got a technician to call me. As it was 3 days before CNY, I did not expect immediate response. However, the technician told me that they are not available till mid-March (not sure if they are closed or fully booked). To me, this is unacceptable. There should be a reasonable turnaround time frame, CNY or not. He asked me to unplugged and wait for a couple of minutes before trying again. The same thing happened. I did some trouble-shooting myself and noticed that some stainless steel pots cannot be used. I use a 'normal' stainless steel pot and it functioned normally, but when I use another set of pots (I bought it as a set of 3), it cannot be used. Under my pot it states that it's a 5-ply capsule bottom (not sure what it means) but it also indicated 'Gas Electric-Vitros'. I used a magnet and it stuck to the bottom too. So I'm not sure what is the exact problem. My main peeve is the after-sales technical support. With this kind of support, I would not purchase senz again. Not sure about other brands tho, are they all the same? I'm based in JB. i think the pot is not suitable for induction, hence error msg. For induction, either pot does not have water or oil, or not suitable, then will have error msg. Btw, i dont sell senz, so cant help u. U can try to check the error msg in the user manual, it will that u what is the error about This post has been edited by zheilwane: Mar 8 2018, 02:24 PM
