The induction cooktop protection mat receives generally positive feedback from customers who appreciate its ability to safeguard their costly induction ranges. Many users highlight that it effectively maintains the cleanliness of the cooktop, which helps to prolong the life and aesthetic appearance of their appliances. The mat is described as performing well under high temperatures and is easy to clean, either by hand or in a dishwasher. Certain customers have gone so far as to recommend it, emphasizing its practicality for home cooks with induction systems. However, there are notable downsides that have been pointed out by several reviewers. Many have mentioned the opacity of the mat, which significantly obscures visibility of the cooktop's controls and indicators, such as the blue flames, making cooking more cumbersome. Additionally, while the mat serves its protective purpose, it tends to retain creases from its folded shipping, which can affect its appearance and fit on the stovetop. Some users have also complained that the glossy finish dulls over time, diminishing the mat's visual appeal. Lastly, alignment issues have been mentioned, necessitating extra effort from users to find the correct pot placement. In summary, while the induction cooktop mat serves its primary function effectively and cleans up easily, potential buyers should be aware of its visibility and aesthetic limitations. **
