Waring Heavy-Duty Commercial Induction Range
The wide Schott glass top takes big pans comfortably, and the small-article detection means a spoon left on top won't heat. Only 12 temperature settings makes fine control harder than on the Vollrath.
My verdict
My verdict: Buy it if you use wide pans and want both NSF and ETL listings. Skip it if you need fine control between settings.

Pros and cons
What I liked

My notes
The wide Schott glass top takes big pans comfortably, and the small-article detection means a spoon left on top won’t heat. Only 12 temperature settings makes fine control harder than on the Vollrath. Owners are split on power, and I saw a slight slowdown on the fifth back-to-back boil.
