Yes, I have 2 NuWave Pic 14 and love them! I've had them for a few months and I believe they are the Cadillac of induction cooking. They have 6 levels of cooking with up and down buttons for 5 degree increments of precise cooking. For example, the med. high button shows 375 degree temp. but you can change that to any temp. you want by simply pushing the up, down button. I've only had the Nesco less than a week. I purchased it for when I cook for special occasions, but find I have cooked with it every day. Both are very good cooktops, one has all the bells and whistles and the other cooks just as well. By the way, the NuWaves cost me right under $210.00 delivered.

I wonder why no reference is made that this is a Flavorwave product, hyped by "Seen on TV" and accordingly priced for the 3 AM crowd at twice Amazon's price. This is written in mid-December of 2010, there may be a newer model/brand (after the Sunpentown 2002) on the market

Hi Carl, Did you buy this set?? If not, what did you buy?? I just bought a GE induction cooktop too and am searching for cookware that doesn't cost a fortune.

Nyrius has made several improvement to NPCS550 Pro, the unit was also selling at a lower promotional price for sometime. This is why the unit appears to have jumped in price more than it really has.

I've never used a NuWave so I can't answer that. I bought this for our guest cottage, and the guests seem to be happy with it.

Was given the Nuwave induction coop top - My expensive pans (bought over 30 years ago and still working great), did NOT work on the Nuwave. After looking at several stores locally, I did not find anything I could use on my Nuwave. I have several cast iron pans, so I could use them, but they are so heavy and I am handicapped. I ordered 2 sets of the pans (my sister was given a Nuwave at the same time I was). Your answer is a decidedly "Yes" . I am really glad they not only work, they are easy to clean and also look nice.

Major difference between those 2 models is max power. NuWave PIC can go up to 1300W and NuWave PIC Pro High Powered can go up to 1800W. In practice it means that you will be able to cook "faster" with Pro High Powered model but in the same time you will need to make sure that the wiring for your kitchen outlet is 20A. If it is not the case you will face frequent pops of your fuse on this outlet or create fire hazard if installation is not done properly. Just as a safety precaution manufacturer equips this kind of devices with special plug that will not fit regular 15A outlet. It means you will not be able to use it in a lot of places where there is no 20A outlet. I personally own basic version and it is sufficient for my cooking needs. Nevertheless if you are power hungry you may look for 3000W Induction Cooktop from other makers. This kind of equipment will set you up for alteration of you kitchen wiring to 220V. In general it is not that difficult since the most american kitchen should be pre-wired for this possibility.

I never owned one of those, I had pulsinic Braun. It was ok but very loud. The Norelco is much more quiet and works better.

Are you considering buying the newer digital unit? It would seem they have made a better product though it will be more expensive. Any thoughts, almagirl?

Yes, it is great. We are using it on a NuWAve induction countertop unit and the quality is great. We love it.

if it is says induction ready, it should be good for nu wave. I would go the manufacturers website and find the induction ready cookwares. For cuisinart, it is GGT-10.

Yes. I have a NuWave and the Calphalon. It works, but the NuWave has a somewhat small footprint for the induction area. So the bigger pans work, just not as well as the smaller pans that fit the footprint.

I just bought this recently, and the only place that I have used it is on my NuWave induction cooktop. I don't what experience the others have that they would say it's not induction ready.

NuWave offers a pressure cooker compatible with induction cooktops. But, Amazon search is always a good comparison shopping tool.

I got it as a gift for my mom. She has done water bath canning. The only issue is it takes a while for the pan to heat up because the pan she uses is as big as the top of the nuwave. The biggest ring on the nuwave is where the induction stops being as effect to the outside of the pan. Hope this helps.
