I would point out that portable induction cooktops draw much less power than a built-in cooktop can so I would suggest that if you borrow it for a test drive you should know that an actual cooktop will heat pots and pans much faster than a portable.
Even so, you can evaluate induction's other great features as outlined by Trish and Belinda. I'll add one more: - Repeatable settings: a setting of, say, "5" will always be the same. We use this 'feature' every time we use our pressure cooker - after coming up to pressure, setting the cooktop to '3' will always maintain it perfectly. No fiddling with a gas control.
