Does your kitchen overheat when you cook? Do you like cooking, but not for too long? Would you like an elegant and thin device for saving room in your kitchen? Here is the solution to all these problems. The Induction Cooktops from Duxtop are extremely efficient in every kitchen.
Induction converts electricity into a magnetic field and it will heat only the pan, not the induction burner. The induction cooktop will not heat up the kitchen the way a conventional burner does. If you have a small kitchen you surely know how unpleasant this problem of overheating can be.
You will find a lot of models of cooktops on the market. So, which should you choose? Induction Cooktops from Duxtop are very attractave, designed with lots of functions and good prices.
Duxtop Ultrathin 9300ST Induction Burner
This Induction burner from Duxtop is ultra slim and has full glass on its top. Actually it is 40% thinner than other similar cooktops. Its dimensions are 14.5″ X 11.5″ X 1.75″(L x W x H) but in spite of its size, the glass cooktop is highly durable and reliable.
The design is gorgeous. It is very compact and extremely light, so that you can easily handle it and carry it when you need to move it from one place to another. You can take it with you in holidays, in a camper, while traveling a lot and use it for reheating and boiling vegetables and other foods.
It has fifteen temperature ranges (between 140°F and 460°F) and the power level can reach 1500 Watts. The digital control panel is very intuitive and easy to use. On the display you can see how many minutes are remaining until the cooker will stop. When you will place a pan on it, the cooktop will auto detect it. Another very interesting and useful thing in case of malfunction is that the Duxton Induction Cooktop is provided with a diagnostic error message system. Also it will warn you in case of low or high voltage. For safety purpose the cooking surface is heated only when the pan is on it. If there is no pot, the control systems shut down automatically.
The heating area is nine inches in diameter but you can use pots a little bit larger (like 12 inches in diameter). Just take into account that only this 9 inch area is heated. Another very important thing is that you will have to use special pans and pots designed for induction cooking. This means the pans have to be perfectly flat, with cast or enamelled iron or stainless steel bottom. You cannot use cooper, aluminium, ceramic or heat-resistant glass because they are not magnetic. The bottom of the pot has to make contact with the surface of the induction burner and it has to be larger than 4.75 inches in diameter.
There are many burners that are very difficult to clean and users appreciate that a great advantage of Duxtop UltraThin Full Glass Induction Cooktop is that you can easily clean it.
Moreover, in comparison with electric burners, you should know that the induction cooker si faster and it can boil water very quickly. It cooks in half the time and it is simple to use even by a person less familiar with late technology.
Another pro is that this induction burner keeps a steady temperature so you can cook foods without worrying about burning.
A few users complain that Duxtop UltraThin Full Glass Induction Cooktop overheats and it cannot be used at full power more than 10-15 minutes. Also they say it is not so precise and accurate. It requires adjustements. But every cook learns what to expect from his oven so this is quite the same thing.
Some customers say that they don’t like the cooker asks to unplug after using, but this is a measure of safety and it is better to do so when the on/ off switch continues to blink. In what concerns safety you should also take into account that this induction cooker cannot be counter inset because it is too thin and it has been designed for using on the surface of the table. It has a bottom fan and this should remain mobile. In fact, a portable ultrathin induction cooker is the best solution for saving space.
Unfortunately some users complain that the Duxtop Induction Cooker creates a very small circle of heat of about six-nine inches diameter. However there are a lot of users who agree that the heat diffuses quickly so that you can use 10″ frying pans and pots.
However Duxtop UltraThin Full Glass Induction Cooktop has a very attractive price and it comes with 1 year warranty. According to customer reviews, this induction burner is favored for its elegant design, its ability to cook very fast and for being extremely thin and easy to carry.
Duxtop 7100MC Induction Cooktop
Although it is a basic model, there are many clients who were very pleased with the investment, as it quickly become their favourite kitchen appliance. Full size induction burners are more expensive, so if your budget is limited, you should think very well about the cheaper solution.
This is an induction cooktop countertop and it can meet the standards in every home. It is so light and compact that it is comfortable for carrying and storing. It has a digital control panel with a countdown digital timer between 5 minutes of increments to 170 minutes.
You will find 10 temperature levels on Duxtop 7100MC Induction Cooktop, that is from 140 degrees F to 460 degrees F. The power level can be 200 to 1300 W.
If you are thinking already where to place it in your kitchen, you should know it measures 11 and 3/8ths inches wide, 13 inches deep and 2 and 5/8ths inches high. In what concerns the diameter of the cook surface this is approximately 8 inches. But what is very interesting, in case you are using a pan with a smaller diameter, the bottom of the pan will determine the cooking surface. So, this induction cooktop is ideal for smaller pans and pots.
However, Duxtop 7100MC cooks very fast and helps you save time when you are in a hurry. For example, you can boil a large pot of water for cooking pasta in about 4-5 minutes.
Like 9300ST, you should be aware that many pots that are considered from steel will not be able for use on the induction cooker. There has to be a small magnet for holding the pan, or the induction burner will not work.
Reading the reviews I saw that many customers were attracted by its shape. It is rectangular and two of them will fit very well side by side almost in the same cavity. Other induction burners are round and can’t be placed that way.
As safety measure, if you don’t place a pan within 1 minute, the auto-pan detection will be turned off. Also, for security purpose, the manufacturer designed it with a low and high voltage warning. Furthermore, the burner is equipped with a diagnostic error message system.

Being a newer model, 9300ST Ultrathin is a more functional cooktop and much more efficient. Besides, its ultrathin design makes it an ideal option for those customers who want a smaller induction burner. 7100MC is just a basic cooktop, a good model with the lowest price. Moreover, 7100MC is up to 1300 Watts with 10 power levels, while the 9300ST ultra thin is up to 1800 watts with 15 power levels. This means that 9100ST will heat more quickly.
There is also a difference in what concerns the temperature range: 10 power levels for basic 7100 MC and 15 power levels for 9300ST.
The Glass Cooktop Size is bigger on 9300 ST Ultrathin. It is 9 inches compared to 8 inches on Duxtop 7100MC. So if you want to use larger pots and pans (maybe you already have it) you should choose the newest model.
But if you are happy with a basic induction burner (let’s say it’s your first induction burner and you want to test its functions and advantages) and you are looking forward to save money, it seems Duxtop 7100 is the best choice because it is about 20$ cheaper than Duxtop 9300ST.
Summary
In conclusion, if you need a bigger cooking surface on your new induction burner, a more attractive design, a thinner product, a burner that heats faster, then you should go for Duxtop 9300ST. On the other hand, if you want a lower-price induction burner, with good basic functions (in fact much the same with 9300ST), the same quality of materials, light (but not as thin as 9300ST) than I recommend you to buy the 7100MC Duxtop Induction Burner.
