Does anyone use induction burners? Looking for recommendations. (beehaw.org)

I'm looking at buying an induction burner but it's hard to find which brands may be reliable. Most of the youtube reviews are done by review bot channels and relying on amazon reviews in this day and age... yeah. So does anyone have any experience with these and know of a brand that I can go toward?

Do you mean a full hob (e.g. 4-6 spots) or a single plug-in 'hot plate' type dealio? For the former Bosch or Hotpoint should be decent enough, I don't know if they make the latter though. I personally stay clear of Beko but that's not because of their hobs, used to have a washing machine they made and it was awful.

Either way we made the switch to induction earlier this year and love it. Just check your pans are magnetic first, or be willing to replace them!

I'm looking for a hotplate or portable type. One thing I've seen people take issue with is a small heating area? Is this an overblown issue? On many of the units I have been looking at they say there's a ring that's like 4-6 inches in diameter that heats and I'd like to be able to cook evenly on a larger skillet.
