Powerful, precise, and consistent, the ChangBERT cooktop is a tremendous value. You’d have to spend many times the price of this unit to get much improvement.
Pros:
• Works exactly as advertised
• Well thought-out interface with tactile buttons,
• Clear, bright display
• Rubber feet to prevent sliding
• Long 12 hour timer
• Temp mode settings are not wildly divorced from reality, like many cooktops
• Quiet fan that shuts off about one minute after power-off
• No detectable power dips due to overheating so far. Dual IGBTs really help keep the power up and continuous
• Attractive, easy to clean cover
• Extremely responsive customer service
Cons:
• Reasonable sized coil, but 8”? Not so sure. Bigger than most.
• Not a lot of traction marks on the glass, so pans tend to slide. That’s what handles are for, right? Silicone pad might help, but is not recommended by the company.
• Plug not grounded, but still compliant.
• Confusing product titles, marketing descriptions, and pricing structure.
Overall, the ChangBERT is an excellent cooktop, and I highly recommend it.
