I have a Nuwave PIC Pro and love it! I live in a retirement community and have a VERY tiny kitchen with no stove However with my Nuwave PIC Pro I can literally cook anything. How/Why? Because it has a superb temperature range which goes from 100°F to 575°F, adjustable in 5°F increments. Thus I can melt chocolate. When deep frying it's CRITICAL to maintain the exact temperature - difficult with a gas stove and impossible with an electric. I previously owned a PIC but sold it when I moved to an apartment with a stove. I wish I'd have kept it as I liked it much better than the electric stove the apartment provided. I can think of a number of folks who could use a NuWave Portable Induction Cooker. College students would love it to cook in their dorm room, folks who own a recreational vehicle would like the NuWave, retired people who are downsizing but still want to be able to cook, people who entertain frequently and could use an extra burner when cooking for a large group, people who love to cook but are stuck with an electric stove with very limited heat settings, and young people just starting out who move to an apartment without a stove but want to be able to cook, but don't want to or cannot afford to purchase a stove. I'm not sure how they find the electricity but tailgaters would love a PIC. In short, almost anyone who wants to cook, could use and would enjoy having a NuWave PIC. If you're thinking about getting a portable induction cooker, get a NuWave and get the model with the 8" heating coil and the ability to control temperatures in 5°F increments instead of 10°F increments. It's only a few dollars more and worth it I think - especially when comparing it to an electric stove. And if you plan to do a lot of cooking you might consider the model with two burners. I guess you can tell I love my Nuwave. I only wish I'd discovered it when I was 20 instead of 80. :-)
