So glad you guys are loving the new gear! It's really impressive technology. This review should be helpful for anyone looking to make the switch to induction.
Thank you! Loved seeing you guys use it and tried making our food taste as good as yours, that didn’t work😅😆 We hope people building out their van can find this super useful. Or those looking to make a switch.
We love love love our induction cooktop! We think that there's so many benefits and as long as your electrical system can handle one we recommend it to anyone! Good information, we loved the "We'll do a six month review (if we remember) haha!
Haha, well thanks to my father, I added it to my calendar so I won't forget. We will see. LOL. Yes if your battery system can handle it, it's much better than having funds in your van or even having to try and find/buy little propane tanks.
I love induction cooktops (even though I don't have one in a van or a van for that matter haha) but it cooks the food so fast and the temperature is so precise and easy to control. Love cooking on it very much! Great video guys!
This reminds me that I need to watch your van tour video! What I could see of your van interior in this video looked really pretty. I've been curious about induction stoves so this was interesting to watch.
Thanks for watching. We worked hard on the design of the van. You will definitely want to check it out. So far we are happy with the induction stove top.
Cool! Nice review and I really like that this has a wattage display. If I have other things running, my inverter might not be able to power the full 1800w, so it looks easy to just not turn it up too high!
Yes, that is really nice to have both the temp and watt feature. Rarely have it as high as 1800 if using one burner (and actually very rarely on two so far).
Hello, we went away from this style of video and towards cinematic ones we enjoy making more. We love the induction overall. It does require a pretty good electrical system. We have run into issues in the winter months because of getting less sun and the caveat now is that we both have remote jobs so our computers draw a ton of power with both of them plugged in (along with Starlink). Those draw about 250-300 watts. Without those I don't think we'd run into a lot of issues but we do have a portable one burner gas stove as backup for areas like Washington and Oregon.
Hello, Apologies we never posted a 6 month review. We are still currently using the induction on our solar system and it has been working well. If cooking a full dinner with it, on 400ah it takes about 10% battery if the sun isn't out. If the pan/pot is too small, sometimes the induction magnet doesn't recognize it very well but we rarely use our tiny pot. We recently sold our van and moved into a custom built truck camper and purchased this same exact induction and same thing, its been working great the last few months.
Nicola Tesla we're not but it looked like a great way to cook! Van or not. We've heard others talk about inductions advantages. Now being from Wisconsin close to Franksville we have to ask. Where's the sour kraut?
Lol, I (Abe) likes sauerkraut. Mel not so much. Haven’t had it in awhile but whenever I do I always think,”Why don’t we get this more often?”. Guess it comes down to space in a van for food, can’t have too much that one likes and the other doesn’t. Especially in the fridge.
@@abeandmel we first found out about the 48v system from a family we follow who are travelling around Australia and it looked sick! ua-cam.com/video/SlbCongFy2E/v-deo.html
Hi, apologize for the late reply. This is still working great, have been using this one for two years no problem. with a 400ah battery system and a full dinner cooked it takes about 10% battery with no sun on our solar panels.
Yes we are going to make an update video, short quick version: it works great if you have sunny days, if not it takes about 40ah to make a typical dinner
What about the extreme EMF emissions from these cooktops that can cause cancer. Have you looked into that? If you get an EMF tester you will see that the emmisons are off the charts.
EMF has never been proven to cause cancer, whilst induction jobs do give off EMF radiation so does every electrical appliance, given that you only use them a couple of times a day for short periods of time they are as safe as anything can be. There are far more dangerous things to worry about in this world.
It has like an electrical/magnetic humming sound when a pan is on it. If nothing is on it and it’s making a noise like that, I’d say something is up (at least for this brand).
@@barankaplan4308 your welcome. We have heard other people’s induction stove tops making high “electricity “ noises when pans are on them as well. This is our first induction stove top, but since we have heard other people’s induction stove tops do that, my guess is it’s normal

Thanks for all the great information!
You’re welcome. Hope you learned some things about induction cooktops
Purchased the single on Amazon. Looking forward to your 6mo review!
Awesome! Hope you like it! Yes we will have to film one

We are very impressed with it. I couldn't believe how fast it melted butter, that was just incredible! Thanks for watching!

Short and sweet :) Thanks! Had seen this brand and was wondering if it's good. Might go ahead and get myself one for my new build.
Awesome. So glad you found it informative. And yes we tried to get in lots of info in a short amount of time😊

Wish we went for something like this, especially with the price of lpg right now. Take care
Thank you!
Ugh, yes, any sort of money saving right now is a big plus.
How about that "6 month" review? Do you guys like it? Is it sustainable for van life?

Hey did you ended up doing a 6months review? what's the experience? how much power do you use per cooking? :)

That's great 👍
Thanks! Have you used an induction before? They are super neat!

I like your video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
I (Jez, the hubby of our crew) would like to get induction in our new van as long as we have a decent battery system!
Neato! Have you used them before? What battery system do you have?
@@abeandmel we don’t have a battery system yet as we haven’t got our caravan yet but have been looking into the 48v systems!
@@GrabLifeByTheGourlays gotcha. I didn’t think i saw one on your channel YET😉 wow 48v. That would be insane. Niice!!
@@abeandmel we first found out about the 48v system from a family we follow who are travelling around Australia and it looked sick! ua-cam.com/video/SlbCongFy2E/v-deo.html
@@GrabLifeByTheGourlays i’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
Any update on how this is working? Im looking at buying this exact one, thanks!

Can a VAN system handle INDUCTION COOKTOPS? Amzchef Induction cooktop Review how does it work
What's your guess? :).
So what are your thoughts after another 7 months?
Yes we are going to make an update video, short quick version: it works great if you have sunny days, if not it takes about 40ah to make a typical dinner
@@abeandmel Thanks for the great info.

Interesting. No we have not looked into that.

I received this product today and I hear a sizzle sound at high temperatures. Is this normal?
It has like an electrical/magnetic humming sound when a pan is on it. If nothing is on it and it’s making a noise like that, I’d say something is up (at least for this brand).
@@abeandmel thank you so much for your feedback ,sent it back

@@barankaplan4308 was yours doing it with no pan on it?
@@abeandmel yes and the sound was extremely high i recorded it. If you are interested can send
Have you ever cooked on an induction cooktop before? What was your experience?
