I should first clarify that when I first received and used this cooktop, I loved it. I bought it, tested it at home and then took it out to our cabin (fairly remote and only a wood stove). The cooktop did just what I needed it to do, cook food without me always having to start a fire. It is very efficient, cooks evenly with a heavy bottom pot or pan and the fan isn't too loud. However I had a pot on it and that pot boiled over, that's all it took to have the burner stop working. I wiped up the liquid and dried it thoroughly and it doesn't even power on anymore. The sad part is that this happened prior to the date I could return it, but with no internet service it was a choice of drive home to facilitate the return or write off the burner. So, overall great burner as long as you guarantee that you won't have a spill over.
