It's great in an environment like Northern Europe where it is also used to heat the room at all times, 365 days a year. Why else would you want it to be on at all times, though the cooktops are temperature regulated, so it is designed to produce as little heat as possible when not in use. However, the stove is warm at all times, and while it's great to dry your socks, I can't see it being great in the summer, especially in South Carolina. I think the modern Leica equivalent is really the magnetic induction stoves. They are efficient, precise, and produce great results. In use in Europe and Asia for decades, they are just becoming popular in the US. The greatest thing about them is that they don't heat up the room much, because the heat is produced by the cooking utensils themselves.
