Hello everyone,
We had an induction cooktop installed, and both of us are quite sensitive to the magnetic field. My wife and I both notice it while the cooktop is running, experiencing a pressure-like sensation in our heads.
We have now looked at other induction cooktops, and while the effect is less noticeable with some of them, it is still sometimes perceptible. Now we are considering switching to a traditional cooktop.
What are your thoughts on this? Are you familiar with this phenomenon? Overall, I find induction very practical, but in the long term, it seems too problematic for us given our sensitivity.

What is your opinion on this? Are you familiar with this phenomenon? In general, I find induction cooking very convenient, but over time it seems too sensitive for us.A phenomenon that statistically hardly ever occurs—especially with two people in the same household. And if your mother can feel it too, that’s quite unusual. It could be related to the cookware or a malfunction of the induction hob. But you probably already know the typical answers from other forums.H

I just replaced a glass-ceramic electric cooktop with another glass-ceramic electric cooktop. I didn’t switch to induction. In my opinion, it still cooks very well. I found one at a local retailer. What annoys me again, though, and I do see the advantages of a local retailer, is that they charge double compared to online prices, even in the manufacturer’s own online store. I find that quite unreasonable.

Benutzer20018 May 2022 08:27P.S. One more question. If you react to the electromagnetic field of the stove like that, how do you respond to a microwave, a monitor, or a hairdryer? Their electromagnetic field strength is actually several times higher (a microwave at a distance of one meter about 4 times as strong, a hairdryer at 30cm (12 inches) distance about 4-5 times as strong).
bauenmk202018 May 2022 08:35I would simply try testing at someone else’s home or at a kitchen studio/furniture store (you can mention right away that you are looking for a new cooktop).
Now I’m curious about the response to @Benutzer200 😉

Their electromagnetic field strength is actually several times higher (microwave about 4 times higher at a distance of one meter (3 feet), hair dryer about 4-5 times higher at 30 cm (12 inches) distance). I also think it’s more related to the high-frequency sounds from slightly uneven cookware. Maybe they don’t consciously hear these sounds, but the body is still affected.

Maybe it really is due to a defect. It’s a bit strange.
