I ordered this unit approximately one year ago and finally installed it recently in a bar/kitchenette during a remodeling project in my basement. The only shortcoming is the lack of concise instructions for USA installations as it seems to be tailored to British installations. There has been questions regarding the proper amperage breaker for electrical service. I simple added up the wattage (1800 +1200) for the burners and ended up with a 15 amp breaker with 14 gauge wire for the service. (amps X volts = watts, or watts divided by volts = amps. 3000 watts divided by 240 volts is 12.5 amps. ) I've run both burners on high at the same time and the breaker does not (and should not) trip.
So if anyone is wondering what is the proper electrical service for this unit I can say for certain it's a 15 amp, 240V breaker with 14/3 wire.
The 90 degree mounting brackets were a little too short for my installation (3/4" laminate countertop) so I needed to straighten them out and re-bend them for my application. I think they're designed for a solid inch and a half + countertop.
Also, I see people saying the knobs stripped out. The knobs need to be pressed down to rotate them, if not you'll strip them out.
So, overall I am very pleased with the unit other than the vague instructions. Hopefully this review will help guide others who come after me ;)
Looks great. Works great. There was a small issue with fit but customer support was OUTSTANDING!! Happy customer here.
Turned it 90 degrees so I could have appliances behind it. If just 2-3" longer it would be perfect. Current design a little cramped if using a skillet. Be sure to clean the top first as it smoked a little...possibly due to a treatment applied when leaving the factory.
Some reviews have raised the question of reliability. After two years the unit continues to work as it originally did. It is a bit slow to heat & large pots & pans interfere with each other & the knobs but then again it is a small unit & that is what I needed for the small space available to me. Very pleased with the unit

Great product for a excellent price. The only data I wish the seller should post is the dimensions of the cooktop. This one was 1.5 inches shorter than the one I replaced.
