Because you don't get residual heat sitting up close is no problem which is bliss in the warm weather we've been having. Clean up is easy as spillages don't get 'cooked on'.

I like the lidl guarantee on electrical products, anything goes wrong take it back and get your money back. I've had this for four years and it has 10 heat settings. Basically the same heat settings as the Kenwood, but more fine tuned if that makes sense. They both have digital timers and auto-shut off with boil dry protection. Very energy efficient.

Wow! 29.99 is a real buy. I was just looking at 1800 w induction
units and the best price I found without too much searching was $65.
One of the comments I read somewhere (not sure which brand) said
there's only a 4 inch "hot spot", which is fine for boiling water but
not fine for making pancakes. Is that your experience and what type
of food do you find yourself cooking the most on it?
