I currently have two different induction cooktops here (one for 39 EUR and one for 59 EUR) and I’m shocked at how noisy both devices are... even on the lowest setting, the fan runs continuously... absolutely terrible.
My question is... can I save myself the trouble of searching further... are induction cooktops generally designed to have the fan running all the time? If so, I’d rather get a conventional hotplate.
What are your experiences?
Best regards, Steffi

In my experience, all the individual hotplates are equally noisy. Since you can already get functional ones for around 30 EUR, I guess you have to accept the noise. We still have a regular ceramic cooktop, but the portable hotplate is used much more often. It heats up so much faster and works better. In the new kitchen, only induction!!

Personally, I would choose a regular hot plate because I still have an old large pot. I have induction in my current new kitchen, and by the way, I don’t hear any fan noise there. With the external hot plate, I would have everything covered. Maybe you find yourself in my answer?
I do hear fans running on my large induction cooktop sometimes, but not always. For example, when I use the power boost function and have over 6 kW (6,000 W) on a single cooking zone... Even if the electronics/coils were 99% efficient (which they definitely are not), there would still be about 60 W of heat to dissipate. Anyone who has ever touched a comparable incandescent bulb can understand that some kind of cooling is necessary.
