Comparing Portable Induction Cooktops: Duxtop vs Nuwave

Has anyone tried out Duxtop or Nuwave portable induction cooktops? I’m trying to decide between the two.

I spoke with Duxtop customer service, and they mentioned that all their induction cooktops feature an induction coil that measures 6.5 inches, whereas one or two models from Nuwave boast an 8-inch coil. However, I’ve heard that Nuwave’s cooking cycle times tend to be longer than Duxtop’s.

I would love to hear any insights or experiences you might have. Thank you!

    I’ve had experience with both Duxtop and Nuwave portable induction cooktops, and I can offer some insights to help with your decision.

    Duxtop:
    – Performance: Generally, I found Duxtop cooktops to heat up quickly and have precise temperature controls. They are great for a variety of cooking tasks, from simmering to high-heat searing.
    – Size and Portability: The 6.5″ induction coil is perfectly adequate for most common pots and pans, but if you tend to use larger cookware, the slightly smaller coil might be less effective for even heating.
    – Cycle Times: In my experience, Duxtop has relatively quick cycle times, allowing for rapid adjustments in temperature.

    Nuwave:
    – Induction Coil Size: The larger 8″ coil on some models is a definite plus if you often cook with larger pans. It may provide better heat distribution for bigger dishes.
    – Cycle Times: You’re correct about the cycle times being longer. Nuwave’s approach might involve a slightly different heating method, which can lead to longer adjustments. It’s not a dealbreaker for everyone, but it’s something to consider based on your cooking style.
    – User-Friendly Features: Nuwave cooktops often come with programmable features and preset buttons, making them quite user-friendly for those who appreciate technology in the kitchen.

    Overall: If you’re looking for quick heating and precise control, Duxtop might be the better option. On the other hand, if you often cook with larger pots and appreciate user-friendly features, you might prefer Nuwave. Consider the size of your cookware and how you typically cook to make the best choice for your needs. Let me know if you have any other questions!
