The full review
Why not go cheaper
The Duxtop 9600LS is a strong value and solid. I've used mine for about two years, it heats fast and the temperature control is genuinely accurate. It's way better than the budget Amazon burners that overheat and shut off randomly mid-cook. Don't go cheaper than this or you'll end up with one that barely works.
The pricier induction units are nice, but they're overkill if you just need a reliable backup or single burner. This hits the sweet spot.
What I liked

- Great value at its current price
What to know

- Fan noise while running
- Single burner
- Fancier units exist if you want more
Common questions
Is it better than the budget induction burners?
By a lot, the cheap ones overheat and shut off randomly. This one holds temp reliably.
Do I need a pricier model?
Not for a backup or single burner, this is the sweet spot.
