I know induction works fast, but how would you say cooking is with them? seems like it takes forever for me to boil water with my gas cooktop, but being able to boil water in 90 seconds is a MAJOR improvement from 5+ minutes on gas...

The only requirements for the home induction stoves are making sure you have the right cookware. I don't think aluminum and copper stuff will work properly.
