We use one in our RV, which we bought from Amazon, and have an induction cooktop range unit at home.
The plus is that it is quick and that you can control the heat much better. When in the RV, the DW will heat up something like stew, chili, or soup, and just leave it on the induction unit with the temps set to keep it hot. That way it is ready for seconds or if I want to eat a little later.
As mentioned it only works on metal pans that have a MAGNETIC bottom. Copper bottom pans will not work, but cast iron works fine.
The unit is great during warm weather since 99% of the heat generated is put in to the pan, which minimizes the amount of heat radiated in to the coach that the AC has to deal with. In fact you really can put you hand on the cooktop right next to the pot.
That lack of radiant heat may also be a downside if you wish to have the heat from morning breakfast on a gas range, help heat the coach on a cold morning.
We love the induction cooktop and store it in our microwave while on the road.
