After 17 months the outer casing cracked for no apparent reason. Only having used this occasionally I can only assume there is an inherent defect especially having read other reviews on the subject (read more)

It's very difficult to fry on it. Bad price/quality ratio. The only benefit is a cute design. (read more)

I bought a Kenwood IH100 recently and it worked for about 5 minutes before giving an error code. The booklet states it needed to be returned to a service department. I'm awaiting a replacement. (read more)

The Kenwood IH100 looks nice.boils water very quickly but temperature control appears lacking, it beeps too loud. It's relatively expensive, mine did cost 100 euro. (read more)

The Kenwood IH100 is well built/packaged and looks good. The molded outer plastic frame is fairly rugged, and is not noticeably warmed during use.
The fan is a little noisy, however it is equivalent to the noise produced from a fan oven. Another reviewer mentioned that it beeps too often, I cannot see a problem with this;
It beeps when it is turned on.
It beeps when the pan is removed from the heat source, after about five seconds - then shuts down, however it will resume heating after it...

After checking that a magnet would stick to the bottom of my pans (required for the induction to work), I decided to buy this because I was told it was more efficient than a normal plug-in hob, and it certainly looks nicer than one!
I was pleasantly surprised by how efficient this actually is -- it boiled a saucepan of water about as fast as a cheap kettle would, on full power. The fan's a little loud but no louder than, say, an extractor fan, and overall I'm very impressed with it.

I think the reviewer was rather unfair on this product just because they didn't know the limitations of an induction cooker. There's a good page on wikipedia about how it works, but the basic point is that if a magnet sticks to the base of your pan, this will work, but if a magnet doesn't stick to the base of the pan, it won't.
