I've had this for 2-3 years now (single cooktop).
At first, it took me some time to learn to cook on it. Understanding how long it took to get the pan hot, what each of the settings meant in terms of relative heat, etc. After that, it's been my go-to for single pan/pot cooking unless I'm doing something in the Instant Pot (another great product).
I haven't had any quality issues with my single cooktop. It looks nearly the same as it did when it came out of the box with the exception of a few scuffs on it where you can tell it's been used.
There were times when I wanted two cooktops and this only had one so I recently came back here to order another single cooktop and saw the dual-cooktop and ordered that.
It's important to understand the limitations of the single or dual cooktop: There's only so much power that it can draw through the outlet in the wall and that's 1800W. At the same time, this isn't a full stove-induction cooktop that you'd have installed in your kitchen with access to a 240V plug. You get 1800W and that's it. If you're thinking about the dual cooktop you need to consider that the single cooktop will be able to focus the full power on one pan but the dual cooktop will not be able to drive both cooking surfaces at 1800W at the same time. Day to day cooking, I don't think that matters. You're not likely boiling two large pot of water at the same time. The 6" heating area is also likely limited by the wall outlet.
All that being said, I've really enjoyed my single cooktop and look forward to having a little more flexibility with the dual cooktop.
Why the 4-stars instead of 5? Because you're limited to the power that the outlet can supply. It's not the products fault.
