Duxtop P961LS Professional
Duxtop's professional model has an angled liquid-crystal display (LCD) panel that's easy to read from a distance and quick to change mid-service. Owners mention a small heating circle and auto shut-offs, and it shut itself off once during my back-to-back boils.
My verdict
My verdict: Buy it if you switch temperatures often and want an easy-to-read panel. Skip it if you run it hard all day; it shut itself off once in my test.
My test results
6 quarts boiled in 19 minutes and 45 seconds; the simmer drifted a little.

My notes

Owners mention a small heating circle and auto shut-offs, and it shut itself off once during my back-to-back boils. Wirecutter found it bulkier than the 9600LS for home use.
