Handling a pet peeve of mine. 3 seconds into the video, he talks about induction stovetops and shows a picture of a glass top radiant stove.
Radiant stoves are just slightly better than electric resistive stoves. They are not induction though they can look similar. People try them and hate them and assume induction is terrible when it isn't.
Induction stoves are no joke. Had one in a ski condo I rented and it boiled water faster than I could grind the coffee beans! Threw my whole routine off!
That may have more to do with water boiling faster at higher altitudes.
Yeah, mine can boil a liter of water in 101 seconds at 450ft altitude.
I had a unique opportunity to directly compare my infrared cooktop (which I mislabeled as resistive) and my new induction cook top, so I did a little experiment to compare them: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/seaint/for_anyone_contemplating_upgrading_from_an/
TLDR: It boiled water in half the time using roughly half as much energy. Part of that may be due to the test pot being smaller than the burner, but this was the case for both stoves. It's just the induction doesn't heat the space around the pot.
