I guess this is first hand because my son has the Electrolux induction cooktop and I have used it. I don't get the draw of it. Yes it will boil water faster but it is fussy about pots. His element blew after 3 years and was under warranty but was back ordered and took a long time to get repaired. I'm guessing this is a rare occurrence. When we moved here he was organizing my kitchen remodel and wanted me to get induction and I opted for smooth cooktop. The only thing I can't use on it is cast iron. He can use it on the induction. But that was not something I wanted to do anyway.
