Good review. When you use the 600-watt setting, using the full range of low to sear stays under 700 watts. The 900-watt setting full range stays under 1000 watts. The 1300 watt setting full range stays under 1400 watts. I've been using mine for over a year almost 3 times a day off my free solar. Great unit for the price. I'm ordering a 2nd one as a back-up.
Thanks for the info!
@@solarcabin No problem. When I cook on the 600-watt setting, I use high. The 900-watt setting I use med. I never use the 1300 except to boil water. The 1300 is the default setting so I always have to remember to reset it when I plug it in.
I tried a duxtop. It sucked. Bought the nuwave "gold" after learning it has a larger coil than every other portable induction cooktop. The nuwave makes less noise and the heat settings are simple, so other people can use it without teaching them.
Thank you for your information. I have a converted van but I do not want to install any solar on it so I will be depending on my 750 watt and 1800 watt Bluetti to run my NuWave.
You can check your pans by using a magnet. If it sticks to the bottom of the pan it should work. If it doesn't, it will not.
This isn't always hard and fast rule, I've had magnetic stainless pots that still didn't work. Good rule of thumb is to use cast iron as much as possible, cast iron and induction are a match made in heaven. Only use stainless for water boiling since boiling water ruins cast iron seasoning.
You can have cast iron for this purpose. Some of my pieces aren't seasoned so I could boil using them just remember to dry them out after use. But if you have stainless steel pots the bottoms are usually have aluminum in them. Which won't work with induction cooking. 73@@0hypnotoad0
Good video. I've wondered about the power draw on these cooktops. Thanks for including that in your video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I looked up induction tops. And liked you showing your generator's set up.
Thanks friend and they are good units!
I learn so little watching your videos so i watch all your videos and it adds up to learning a lot. thanks
Awesome, thank you!
Great video,, thank you for your time.
Great video! I don’t live off grid but my 1986 stove gave it up recently so I got this exact cooking device and I love it. Between this, my Instant Pot Duo Crisp, and a microwave and an outdoor grill in nice weather I can cook anything I want and don’t need to buy a new stove.
Yes, with the right appliances you don't really need a stove and those can go with you camping.
Very nice review. May look into this. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tip on the Nuwave.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent 💯 I’m all about budget friendly efficiency ✅ Thank you 👏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this great information!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have a similar unit from this brand, and it works great. Use it every day
Great to hear!
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great review, very informative, but to the point and on the shorter side. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
A little late watching but finally made it.
I like the ability to set the temp because I like my pancakes to be cooked at a particular setting so the first is as good as the last.
Not wasting energy and safer to use is a plus.
Thanks, I think that and the timer is a great feature. I am impressed with it!
Been using one for all my range top cooking for over 4 yrs (I keep and new unused spare), this and a combo mircowave/convection/broiler/air flyer, I no longer use any propane.
Appears to be the Flex model. Shoppers compare with larger diameter Gold and Titanium. Nuwave's higher end models have 5 degree settings but what is most import is the ability to hold a gentle simmer, keep warm at 100F and has enough mid-range adjustment and stability to prevent burning. Gold has 1500 watts and fits the bill. I keep it next to the much larger 1800 watt Titanium. I have obtained noticeably super results with Demeyere Proline skillet, 9 and 12", and Atlantis saucepans and would pay the $$$ again if needed. I use Staub 24 cm skillet often, the version w/o pour spouts so I can braise with a lid. The 24 cm Le Creuset oven is also a good choice. It's c.i. lid can be used on a fry pan. For boiling, the replacement inner pot with handles for Inatant Pot Pro is an excellent value. A good companion for Nuwave is a hand carry inverter gasoline generator. Con: Parasitic drain. Unplug or use a switched outlet.
That is the Flex and good size for a couple of people. Get the gold if you have a bigger family to feed.
Very , very impressed with the information you bring.. ill be con concerting to this method.
i have a mastercraft induction cooker . it would not work on my 1000 watt modified wave inverter. lights up but no heat. so have to buy pure sine way inverter. if a pot boils over it gets very slippery to keep pot on. but seems to do a good job. going to use it on my houseboat.
I live alone. I have a small kitchen. I covered my stove, more countertop. So, this is perfect for me!
That is awesome!
Love my Tefal counter top induction hob, acurate thermostatic control, fast warm up and timer functions make it the best way to cook irrespective of fuel. Probably cost more than the nuwave full price, but I got mine as a cheap returned unit off Amazon.
They were too expensive for a long time so when this came way down in price I decided it was time to try one and I am very impressed!
I enjoy mine. I boiled a pot of water for some noodles last night with it. I power it with one of my ecoflow deltas. It does heat up fast.
Thanks, yes they heat up even faster than standard electric or gas.
Well, I'm cooking P. F. Chang's Lettuce Raps tomorrow on my new, never used yet Nuwave Inductions Cooktop.... My magnetic new wok was delivered today. Life is good...
Right on! Those hobs work really well and cook faster than a conventional burner. You may need to adjust cooking time.
It works great i have one in my tractor trailer to cook on.
Right on
That’s cool
I am impressed with it!
How do you turn it off? Do you have to unplug it every time?
I just got one. Can you recommend a pot and some cookware for camping
They work well with cast iron. Amazon has cast iron at a reasonable price.
I bought one for my mum due to an accident. Anyone know if we can we override the 1 hour timer? Preferably 15 minutes.
nice setup can you tell me whats the startup wattage when you push the on button normaly they go 1300 watts
You can set it from 600 to 1350 and it remembers the setting.
@@solarcabin okay that is nice to know
They oughta make hot water heaters with that technology. Probably last a lot longer then those ones with the heating elements.
They make induction on demand water heaters but they take 240 volt to keep the water hot as it is running through the system. Seems you could do this with a small tank?
In my camper I use a 600 watt bucket immersion water heater. I can still take a bath using my batteries if power is out. I fill a 5 gal bucket about 2/3rds with water and after about 30+ minutes depending on water/air temperature the water is hot. I then add cold water to adjust temp. I use a large plastic glass to dump water over myself. Always some left over. If I keep my bathroom door closed it heats the air in Winter so it isn`t freezing.
Recently bought a nuwave at estate sale $20.
That is a great deal!
@@solarcabin It looks like it's never been used. Came with carry case too.
The soft plastic over the mechanical buttons deforms and de laminates.
Thanks, I haven't noticed that on mine.
If plugging into an inverter, would a 1500 watt work or would you need to play it safe and have a 2000 watt or above? I was thinking a 1500 watt does best around 1200 or below.
1500 watt inverter will work fine!
I use mine with a 1000-watt inverter. The 600-watt setting stays under 700 on all settings. The 900-watt setting stays under 1000 watts. If I try to use the 1300 setting it will kick off after about 30 seconds. I have done all my cooking on the 600 and 900 setting for over a year now with that 1000-watt inverter.
I have a question
What size inverter should I use for a single 100 watt solar panel hooked up to a single 12 volt car battery...
My cabin is 16'x10'
Depends on what appliances you will be running. They make 12 volt inverters in various sizes and I use a 1000 watt inverter with 2000 peak. That can handle most appliances. amzn.to/3xcSlEC
@@solarcabin
Would need it mostly for lights & charging phones
I use one of these hooked up to a 100-watt panel. (SWAREY Outdoor Generators 240Wh) Used it over 2 years now. It's lifepo 4 with all the ports I need with the small inverter for charging laptop or other devices. It has 2 10-amp port you can use for lights. Comes with 12-volt charger plug so just hook a 12 volt plug to your battery and charge it from that of get its own 100-watt panel (MC4 cable included). it's $99 on amazon right now.
I wonder if that would work with a cast iron pan that has a heat ring?
The pan has to have good contact with the cooktop so I am not sure?
One of my skillets has a small heat ring under 1/8th inch and it works fine.
Cast Iron is freaking awesome!!!!

Would this work on a aluminum pan?
Nope it has to be magnetic.
I had one of those exact cooktops until I took an EMF reading on it. WAY high.
probably a dumb question but you said on "high" it used 1290 watts... but isn't your power unit a 1000 watt?
That Geneverse has a 1000 watt inverter so I cook on low and medium but I also use it off my 2200 watt inverter if needed. On med high it cooks fast enough for everything I need.
How much is that one
They start at $54 for the Nuwave and depends on model.
They often are on sale during those Prime Days, and that Black Friday sales. For some reason that isn’t clear I got it on sale 2 years ago in April.
