Cheap induction heater: does it even work?

Today I'm taking a quick closer look at the inexpensive induction heater that I received from Aliexpress in a recent mailbag (https://youtu.be/qJ83MDQmC5A) It works, but it has some issues. I wouldn't recommend trying to use it for blacksmithing, but it can heat small metal parts pretty well.
