Yea, I have, and I wasn't impressed. Maybe there's better ones.
Most induction "burners" I've used seem to modulate power by pulsing, i.e. being all-on for a time and then turning all-off, instead of a constant, low heat. I almost ruined a thin pan with this, because the instant-on all-power instantly overheated the very thin metal floor and everything in it was instantly burned to the metal. Probably not a problem with a thicker pan that has e.g. a steel or aluminum core. Still, I've yet to see a great induction stove.
Induction stoves also tend to scratch like hell, whereas gas stoves have that rustic iron on them that gets better looking the more use it sees.
