9120MC/9100MC BT-M20B

Just received the Duxtop 9100MC from Amazon. I tested it by boiling some water on the highest power setting while measuring the current with a clamp meter. The meter showed 14.3 A at 119 V, which works out to about 1700 W. Like so many of these portable units, it claims 1800 W. In reality, though, very few “1800 W” countertop induction cookers actually reach that number. Even the better ones usually top out around 1500–1650 W once you factor in things like: Real-world line voltage sag under load (120 V often dips to 115–118 V) Internal current limiting Efficiency and thermal constraints Conservative firmware to avoid tripping 15 A breakers Given all that, seeing this one reach 1700 W is impressive. I’m really happy with the performance — the highest power setting brings water to a boil noticeably fast. Longevity is still an unknown, of course. This unit replaces our Duxtop Gold 8100MC, which we used for almost four years (since December 2021). It eventually developed temperature-control issues, likely from the thermal paste between the thermistor and the glass plate drying out. But honestly, four years isn’t bad for a $57 purchase, especially since we bought it to get around how painfully slow our Bosch radiant stove was. The same model is now going for $67 in the Black Friday sale. We chose the 9100MC because it has finer temperature/power steps and a more user-friendly sloped control panel — and it was only a dollar more. Induction really is the way to go. We’re planning to replace the big Bosch radiant cooktop with a full induction model when the price is right. And if anyone is unsure about switching to induction, picking up one of these little portable units is a great way to try it out.

I have not yet found any dislikes about this product. It performs well. I tested the two cup boil test immediately after receiving it. This cooktop excelled way past my expensive 3 yr old smooth top range. To be clear, once you can heat water and your cookware this fast you cannot go back from that. I knew all of my current cookware would not work with the cooktop, I well understood that when I purchased it. However, about half of my cookware does work with it. Because I am so pleased with the use of this cooktop I was motivated to order a few more essential cookware. I’ve been using this cooktop for nearly a week now, I ordered two of them. I have not turned on my smooth top range since they arrived. I find that learning to regulate the temperature while cooking was easy for me. It didn’t take me long at all learning to regulate the temperatures I needed effectively which made for quick and easy meal preparation. Far easier than using my range. All of the food I’ve prepared using these two cooktops have turned out well and delicious. I’m sure I will eventually need to use my range again for some reason but with these two induction cooktops and my two instant pots it will certainly not be often. To be clear, I’m absolutely in love with these two induction cooktops. If you need to prep do it first because your pans are going to heat up quickly! You won’t have time to heat your pans and prep simultaneously! In about one minute or so it’s time to start cooking if you are sautéing and about 3 minutes if frying in shallow oil. Anything that helps me to produce quality meals quickly is a win win for me. Additionally other benefits of using induction is they do not heat up you or the room. They only heat the pan. The food cooks while the unit is in operation. Turn of the unit and the cooking process stops immediately. My big stove makes my air conditioner come on minutes after turning it on. That doesn’t happen with these induction cooktops! 🙂I’m so glad I bought these! I highly recommend this cooktop. 😎

While our induction range was busted, out of warranty and too expensive to repair, we took some time to decide what to replace it with and bought two of these individual burner cook tops to get us by in the meantime. We used these for about two months, and during the discernment process, considered using them permanently and buying a counter top oven. But using these convinced us that this is not an option. PROS: Understand that we were already sold on induction before buying them, and will probably never go back to gas or non-induction electric. So we already knew how to cook with stainless steel and we do so with ease. (You have to know to get the pan hot with fat before adding food, for example. If you are a non-stick cookware lover, you will probably hate these, or at least have a learning curve with them.) That understood, these work great. They heat up fast, are easy to use, easy to clean up, and are as efficient as was our GE induction range cook top. (We loved that range and are very sad that it died after less than 4 years of use.) Actually, they may even have heated up quicker than the GE range, and the settings definitely ran hotter than did our range burners. We have since bought a new induction range (an Electrolux), but are glad to have these as a supplement and a backup, and have stored them carefully for that purpose. Also, the price is right for an alternative to a full cook top. CONS: The fans on these things are LOUD. Again, we were used to induction, and so were used to the fans coming on with use of the oven and burners. But these are at least three times louder than were our GE range fans. And they are probably 6 times louder than our Electrolux range fans. It doesn't bother my husband so much, but I have more sensitive hearing. Before I would sit down and eat the meal just prepared on these things, I would turn off every noise making device (range hood fan, TV's, etc.) to give my ears and brain some peace after the loud droning sound, mixed with a light squeal, that was unavoidable while the meal was being cooked. The sound of two of these burners and a range hood fan was over the top. Also, the first time I had to do kitchen cleanup, I decided that using these permanently was not an option. I don't think the oil and "stuff" that spews from the pot or pan is any more with these than on a normal cook top (that would all just depend on the food and temperature), but having to clean grease splatter off the long, thick, hard-to-straighten out, zig-zaggy electric cord, as well as the sides of these, then move them and clean off the surface of whatever you have it sitting on (we had them on our broken range), was simply too big a pain to me. It is no big deal if these are an occasional use thing. It would be like using any counter top appliance--of course you need to clean it all up and the counter and wall around it afterward. But I would not want to have to do this daily. Also, the cord seems unnecessarily long. We used them on quite close to our counter top outlets, so the cord did not hang away from the appliance, but was zig-zagged quite close to the burner. It would have been nicer if we could plug them in down low on the wall behind the counter top. If we had to use them permanently, I would arrange to do that. In summary, these cook food great and are super user friendly. They're a great option as a way to test induction, and to have as a backup, or when cooking a large meal and you need extra burners. But as a permanent solution, in my opinion, they're just too loud. Even for other uses I have though of, like as warming plates on a buffet for a big holiday meals, I wouldn't recommend them, because they are simply too loud. A sound-sensitive guest may turn unexpectedly aggressive if you subject them to that sound throughout dinner. However, I think my husband would use them and think nothing of it. Background droning noises don't usually bother him.

Elle cuit les pâtes à point en peu de temps. On peut également faire mijoter par les fonctions inférieures à 5. Elle est très facile d'utilisation. J'apprécie fortement son mode de cuisson et le ventilateur n'est pas très dérangeant.

mee in de camper en waar 230 volt is makkelijk en snel voor elk recept. mooi compact en degelijk apparaat.

Great machine; using it as an extra burner for making veal and chicken stock. Positive reviews from America’s Test Kitchen on YouTube led me to purchase. Excellent value for the money. The fan is noticeable, I wouldn’t say it’s quiet per se, but it’s not noisy either. Like a hairdryer on low. One interesting point I figured out is that recommended weight for cookware should not exceed 25lbs. What this means is that max cookware size should not exceed 10~ quarts because 1qt is roughly 2lbs - plus cookware weight itself (an empty Le Creuset can weigh 10lbs alone.) I recently had a 15qt stockpot on it (see pic) weighing in at 29lbs with solids and liquid for chicken stock (I weighed the full pot on a bathroom scale out of curiosity) and it seemed to work just fine, no error messages or anything but it’s clearly indicated in the manual that the max is 25lbs. So a friendly heads up to the next buyer that has 16-18-20 qt stock pots; take caution for the weight limit. Fantastic machine otherwise.

non funzionava, nonostante appoggiassi pentola induzione con acqua, dava errore, non riconosceva la pentola come adatta, ho ripetuto l'operazione con altre pentole e tegami sempre idonei all'induzione senza risultato. L'ho rispedita sostituendola con un altra di marca differente
