Impulse Induction Cooktop Vs Copper Charlie Induction Range

[MikeMac]

If this is not the correct venue I hope it can be moved   I think these types of cooktops / ranges are the next step in the “control freak”  evolution had no idea how to compare them. 
 

thoughts?

 

• Impulse Induction Cooktop
  • Features: This cooktop has an integrated 3 kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery that delivers up to 10,000 watts of peak power per burner, enabling extremely fast heating. It charges during off-peak hours to save energy costs and provides backup power during grid outages. It does not require an electrician for installation, plugging into a standard outlet.
• Copper Charlie Induction Range
  • Features: Similar to the Impulse, the Charlie range utilizes a built-in battery to provide power when needed, allowing it to function without heavy-duty electrical infrastructure. It has enough onboard power to cook several meals during a power outage.

Huh.  Never thought of a battery-powered burner. Trying to decide if I need one.

The Cooper is a featured Ad on some PBS  cooking shows.

 

The unit looks elegant.

 

Ive gone to their website , and the idea is very interesting , saving the installation of a 220-240 V line.

 

however , as far as I can tell , the batteries in the range are not consumer replaceable when they meet their lifetime end.

 

and those batteries, in that application , are a fairly new item .

 

now ....

 

if the Cooper came with  a Steam function , a la CSO , ie a reservoir etc

 

I would not be sleeping well , until I at least saw it in Action , at a high en appliance store.

 

there is one , on the way to TJ's where I live.
