Impulse Labs, in partnership with Italian manufacturer BS Service Group, has unveiled the Eximius cooktop — a four-zone flat-top induction unit built on the Impulse Core platform. This innovation delivers ten kilowatts per induction zone, three times the output of standard induction cooktops, and includes an integrated downdraft ventilation system and an onboard battery.
The Eximius cooktop can be seamlessly integrated into one's kitchen. Its onboard battery stores energy and releases it when high power is needed, which allows the innovation to operate without drawing excessive current from the home’s electrical supply. The built-in downdraft ventilation pulls smoke and steam downward, eliminating the need for an overhead hood.
Impulse Labs introduced its Eximius induction unit at EuroCucina 2026 in Milan. The venture with BS Service Group marks the company's first European manufacturing agreement, with production taking place in Fabriano, Italy, under the Uniqa brand.
