has anyone tried these convection cooktops as advertised

If you go to their website you can purchase it for $99.99, with a free cookset (a few pans and a fondue set and a couple other little accessories) Shipping is $29.99. PLUS you get a second Pic2 for free! Sounds like a pretty good deal to me! The pots and pans they sell sound too pricy for me for something I've not held in my own hand, though I spent a LOT more on one stock pot than the entire set they show.

Payday will see me purchasing one.

The second PIC2 is free but you pay another $29.95 S&P. So, the total (rounded to dollars) is $100 + $30 + $30 = $160 for 2 cooktops, 1 cookbook, and 1 set of pots. (Or do they double the cookbook and pots too? The website isn't clear.)

That is $80 per cooktop, which is what Go Dogs paid at BB&B.

I bought the Nuwave PIC 2 at BB&B. It was $99, including a pan. I used a 20% off coupon-so do the math. BB&B has a very generous return policy in case of any problems. No S&H, no waiting.
I really love mine, used it a lot on last trip.
The infomercial configuration includes a travel case, fondue set, and some other items. You do get a 'BOGO" for inflated S&H. Depends on what you want.
There are other stores that sell it(Target, WalMart, etc), but I think the Bed, Bath, & Beyond deal with the coupon was the best for me.

I've read that buying on line is treacherous. Their S&P charges may be a deal breaker. :( Is that true?

We got an induction stove earlier this year, 1500W model. Didn't use any of my propane stoves (outside and inside) all summer. Cooks in half the time and is virtually wind proof unlike a propane stove. We bought all our induction cookware at Winners here in Canada where if you don't mind mixing and matching different styles of pots and pans, you can get it for less than half price.

SIL has one - it's the real deal, really neat to see.

If you have aluminum pans, they make metal (iron) plates you can put on the induction surface that will heat up so that you can still use those pans, but then you lose the benefits - it works just like a conventional electric stove.

Don't even get my wife started on the induction cooking. She has used ours for about a year and just loves it. It does a great job making the food taste better too. (I don't even understand how that happens).
BTW: It does not require magnetic pots and pans. It requires a pot or pan that is attracted to a magnet (iron). She hasn't used our 3 burner stove since the induction unit sits on top of it for a year. Fulltiming.
And, you can easily take it outside to cook if desired. It also produces less heat to the kitchen area. All pluses.

Another thumbs up here. One for the house and one for the moho. I am going to steal the moho one for the house. Love them.

Women, they are always in the market for a sweet new pan arent they. :B

It ain't just a women thing. I too am always checking out the cookware and kitchen stuff as I do nearly all the cooking around here.

thanks for the info, yes, I meant induction. I was looking at the nuwave unit, sounds like a good idea for the rv. Will order for our next trip.

It's too durn expensive, but works sooo well! So, I thought what the hey and bought the whole kit and caboodle. I didn't get he extra pot until we tried it out. Then, I bought the set of 5 pots and glass lids. They are really nice pots and worth it, in my book.
