Normal price $99.99, on sale for $39.99 plus free shipping, just bought one
I hear that it heat up very fast, see if it can cook 2 minutes noodle in 1 minute or not???

not condoning it but if you only used one side at a time (based on the power ratings shown below) you could always find someone to make a 15A-10A socket cable for you
*not condoning it or recommending it though
Just make up a patch cable with a 10A circuit breaker in it.
Requires a 15amp power socket.
If like me, you didn't know what that is and wondering if you have one (I don't) see here:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1172650You don't need to read that massive Whirlpool thread.
If you don't know what a 15A power point is, then you almost 100% certainly don't have one.
It's a dedicated circuit used for high powered devices. Many in-bench cooktops and ovens use a 15Amp or 20Amp socket. BIG window mounted Airconditioners commonly use 15A sockets.
A normal power point is 10 Amps. The average Australian home will NOT have any suitable power points to plug this Inductive thing into.
If you don't know what a 15A power point is, then you almost 100% certainly don't have one.
Lots of homes have them for cookers or aircon, but they are generally in use.
But if an old aircon was replaced, or electric cooktop replaced with gas, there may be a spare in place.
The reason for having a special 15A plug is more convenience than safety, as standard 10A sockets can easily supply 15A. But not having a dedicated circuit will likely result in tripped breakers.
It would be more energy-efficient to run a single 4mmˆ2 cable to the kitchen, rather than multiple standard circuits. Why do they do the latter?

Induction requires a different type of cookware too?
The main thing that won't work is full aluminium pans, as they are not magnetic. Induction cooking is done by magnetic fields, so you need something "steel".
The correct word is "ferrous" meaning iron, so cast iron, stainless steel and any combination of the above is fine, however the more iron the better. Not sure about copper, but definitely not aluminium
just use a magnet to test.
Normal stainless steel doesnt work. U need to look for induction suitable stainless steel pans and pots
Left Side: 2000W.
Right Side: 1400W.dosnt sound very energy efficient to me…….
Those figures say nothing of the efficiency - maybe it is converting 100% of it to heat.
The efficiency will be higher than any other method of cooking, as the heat is generated directly in the vessel and not lost.
I have one of these in my kitchen (a built in Teka brand) and apart from reliability issues they are amazing to use, as good as gas and better in many ways.
I guess that's why it requires a 15amp supply.
you need to read up about induction cooking before making statements like this.
it's as educated as saying the microwave is energy inefficient.
The active and neutral pins on a 10A and 15A mains plugs are the same size.
Only the earth pin is bigger (taller) on the 15 amp plug.
You can just "file down" the 15 amp earth and it will fit into a 10A outlet.
just be diligent and dont run both cooktops on high at the same time.
Either on high individually and you would be fine.Illegal.
Either on high individually and you would be fine.
In which case, you might as well just buy a SINGLE.
Doh :-)
just be diligent and dont run both cooktops on high at the same time.
A cheap cooktop like this will use full power on and off, so both on low will still use 15A at times.
But your circuit is rated at 15 or 20A continuous, so if no other high-power appliances (toaster, microwave, dishwasher, … ) are on, you are OK.A lot of qualified people don't seem to understand which rules only apply to electricians, or which rules affect safety and which do not. I suppose that means that unqualified plebs are even less likely to understand, and so should follow the rules blindly.
Actually they only do that when power required is low. They will run as low as 1000W continuously, but any lower they will PWM that 1000W like you said. So that's not a problem on 10A.
Of course they can both be wound up to 1800W each, which would be a problem.
if anyone is interested in getting induction cookers, remember to get the PORTABLE version, the chances of it being 10amps is higher and you can run it off a car 12v-220v transformer for camping.
10A @ 220v = 2200w Thats massive inverter to run off 12V. I wouldn't be doing it. A Honda eu20 generator would probably trip out trying to supply that steady state. Its all gas for camping bro.
I wouldnt be filing down anything either. Good way of melting a GPO when a guest turns it off at the wall before turning each hotplate off. It is mostly the switch that is the diff between a 15A and 10A GPO. The contacts of a normal switch are rated at 10A for a thousand or so operations. Where as the contacts are far more robust in a 15A one.
Having said that if you camp at a powered site all the time, caravan outlets are normally all 15A…
this has now expired
It uses a 15A outlet, not every household has one handy.
