I used it twice and it broke

I purchased this to replace a regular electric coil type hot plate that I've had for years. It took forever to bring a pot of water to boil with that old thing. I've used this a couple of times since purchasing it and I really like it. The key to using this induction cooker is to get the proper type of cookware. Just because it's stainless steel doesn't mean that it will work well with this. It has to say that it is induction ready or have the symbol for induction cookware. Some people complain that it has a loud fan. Well I don't think so, yes it has a fan in it to keep the electronics and the induction coil cool. Without a fan it would burn out the coil and or the electronic circuits that are used to make it work. Also some people have complained about the (Now pay attention) "FREE POT" that comes with it. Yes it's a cheap thin stainless steel pot without even a brand name on it, but it does come with a nice glass lid. It's free what do you expect a $60.00 tri-ply base T-fal or Tramontina thick stainless steel pot? Your not buying the pot your buying the induction cooker. I used this cooker over the weekend when I had house full of family for the Labor day holiday. I used a 16 qt. Tramontina pot to boil 24 ears of corn and was well pleased with how fast it brought it to a boil. It cut the cook time by about 1/3 and didn't heat my kitchen up as much if I had used the gas range.
