What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing calls the surface radiant but also says spills are less likely to burn because there is no radiant coil. Treat that explanation as inconsistent, not as confirmation of a different heating technology. The listed stainless-steel material also sits alongside descriptions of a black mirror glass surface, so confirm the surface finish and material before buying. Confirm that the 240-volt, 7200-watt electrical configuration and listed dimensions suit the intended installation. The description mentions Speed Boil, but its operation and performance are not specified.
