I suspect that the originally commenter two drew the distinction between 220v and 110v units was using voltage as a proxy for price, or "quality". He pointed me at Cooktek.com as a source for "higher grade portable 220v" units - and I have heard of that particular brand in the context of high-quality commercial-grade induction units before.
The thing that gets me is that even Cooktek's own marketing lists things like "user friendly control knob" and "led display" as differentiators: http://www.cooktek.com/cooktek-difference-0 If central hotspots are indeed an expected problem, and if the problem is in fact solvable with more costly engineering, then where are the ads crowing about each manufacturer's Patented EvenHeatZone Technology, etc?
