The most powerful and precise stove ever built.

Engineered from the ground up, the Impulse Cooktop delivers power and control unmatched by any other gas or induction stove on the market. Available in 30" or 36" four-burner configurations, Impulse is designed to transform how you cook at home.

Powered by a 3 kWh integrated battery, Impulse delivers up to 10,000 watts of peak power per burner — enough to boil water in under 40 seconds.

That's 5× faster than leading gas stoves and 3× faster than other induction cooktops.

Our proprietary Active Temperature Sensing technology brings the precision of baking to the cooktop. Set a specific cooking temperature, and the stove automatically adjusts power to hold it steady — whether you're searing a steak at 450°F or holding chocolate at 90°F.

Consistent, professional-grade results every time.

Current fulfillment timeline: 1-4 weeks. Please reach out for more information.

Obsessively engineered for an incredible cooking experience.

Unparalleled power

With up to 10,000 watts per burner, the Impulse Stove delivers 5× the power of gas and 3× more than any other induction cooktop on the market. Every part of the Impulse Stove—from the battery to the burner—is custom-engineered to deliver unmatched power, speed, and precision.

Active temperature sensing

Set a pan to 450°F to sear a steak, or 90°F to melt chocolate without blooming. Add stock or flip the steak, and Impulse’s proprietary temperature sensors respond instantly—keeping your temperature locked in. It’s like having a sous chef built into your stove.

Intuitive interface

Impulse feels as good as it cooks. Removable knobs provide precise control—without the frustration of touchscreens or buttons. They attach magnetically and lift off easily for quick cleaning or to disable the associated burner. LED light rings show exactly where heat is—and where it’s not.

Certified to Lead

Impulse is the first and only battery-integrated appliance in the U.S. certified to UL 858, the national safety standard for household electric ranges. Powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery with superior power density and long lifespan, it meets the industry’s highest safety standards—independently tested for safe operation in real-world conditions.

FAQ

The 30" and 36" Impulse Cooktops deliver identical performance: four 9-inch burners pushing up to 10 kW each, with active temperature sensing and a 3 kWh integrated battery. The only difference is the cutout they fit. Choose your size, not your specs.

We are committed to providing a customer experience we can be proud of. We offer a “retrieve and replace” warranty service. Should any issue arise, we will organize a pickup of your cooktop and replace it with a brand new one. The old unit will be returned to us for analysis to understand the root cause. This service is covered under a manufacturer’s 3-year warranty. Additionally, if you are unsatisfied with your order, we accept returns. See our terms and conditions for more information.

Ideal cutout measurements for the 30" Impulse Cooktop: Width (X): 28.50" – 29.50" Depth (Y): 19.31" – 19.63"

Ideal cutout measurements for the 36" Impulse Cooktop:

Width (X): 33.86" – 34.25" Depth (Y): 19.31" – 19.63"

The cooktop’s integrated battery hangs 6.5" below the counter surface requires some clearance and ventilation beneath it, which limits the types of ovens that can be installed directly below.

In general, most 24" ovens fit comfortably below the cooktop, while some 30" models also meet the clearance and ventilation requirements.

Here are a few of our recommended ovens.

At launch, we’re shipping exclusively within the U.S. We’re eager to expand to more areas soon.


Easy install without any electrical panel upgrades.

Even with an integrated battery and built-in inverter, the Impulse cooktop fits into almost any standard countertop. And it conveniently works with 120 V and 240 V.
