Is anyone experiencing a "squeal" in there unit? Know how to fix it? The unit also does not seem to be doing anything, cooking odors linger.

I haven't had a squeal. If the floor is uneven it will make a loud noise. I have mine in a large opened area so it doesn't do too much for odor. My second one is in a bedroom,smaller room so it works better.

Honestly, yes I had a squeal,I was very frustrated and the higher the velocity or the intensity would get worst,I was about to return it, but after a couple weeks of use it completely vanished until today.

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard.If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

My units do not say anything as well. I have the red, black and the white (I do not care for the white nearly as well as it isn't as loud). Guess I would pick up the phone or contact Kitchen Aid through their website and let them tell me.

Steven- if my experience is any indication you won't miss the Panasonic cleaner unless they have upgraded in the last couple of years. Mine was noisy an eventually stopped cleaning after a minute or two. I tried replacing the cleaner and other suggested remedies, nothing worked. I had it shipped back to Panasonic and received a replacement but the same thing started happening. Doesn't seem worth the extra money. Just rinse and clean the unit yourself.

Had the same issue. I could live with that but not the interior cleaning issue. Food results great but after about four or five meals interior was impossible to clean. Started to set off my smoke alarms. Decided to return it.

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like a defect. I haven't had any problem with mine. I think I've had it over a year now. Good luck.

Shouldn't be that loud or, going off that frequently. You can perhaps turn the temp a little? I had one unit that made noise, but the new one is pretty quiet.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

Sounds like you may need a new unit. The first one that was delivered to us got very loud at the 6 month mark. Viva Appliances was awesome and exchanged us for a new one. The new one is super quiet....night and day difference from the first one.

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

Mine is only a couple of weeks old and I hear it popping when cooling down. I use a gas stove and I also smell a weird smell when cooking. Anyone else?

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

Tried mine last night for the first time, makes so much noise that I had to go back to my old unit. Will try again in a different area and see if that helps

I do notice some buzzing when I first place a cold piece of cookware on the burner but it isn't that loud and seems to stop once things heat up. Not enough to bother me at all. Also, you should check around on the internet because people do complain about this issue even with higher end cookware like AllClad so may depend on the induction unit as well as the cookware. Maybe some people are more sensitive to the sound than others. I went from a gas commercial JennAir to a new Frigidaire Gallery induction cooktop and love it. I also love the Cooks Standard pieces (this set and the 5-clad Wok) but have no other comparison for induction and the amount of buzzing.

That must be a defect in your grill. I've not had that problem. It might be cheaper to buy a new one (I got one at BigLots for 28.99) than sending it back.

hmmm...I might think about returning it. There was no oil or smell of oil on ours. Makes me think something got spilled on it in the factory or something. Good luck.
