- Is $79.99 a good price for this cooktop?
- It is the best new price found across 4 stores as of November 6, 2026, and sits at the low end of its recent range. It is a reasonable buy at that price if you already own induction-ready cookware.
- What pans work with it?
- Only induction-ready cookware with a magnetic base, such as most cast iron and many stainless steel pans. Use the included test magnet: if it sticks to the pan bottom, the pan will heat.
- Does it need a special outlet?
- No. It runs on standard 120 V household power at up to 1800 W, so a normal kitchen outlet works. Avoid sharing a circuit with other high-draw appliances.
- How many burners and settings does it have?
- It is a single burner with 6 heat settings on a digital display. It is meant as an extra cooktop, not a replacement for a full range.
- Is it safe to leave plugged in?
- It has automatic shut-off and no open flame or exposed hot coils. Still unplug it when not in use and keep the glass top clear.
- When is it cheapest?
- Prices across the 4 stores vary, and holiday sales are the usual low point. Check the price history before buying outside a sale.
