CUSIMAX Hot Plate, 1800W Double Burner Electric Hot Plate for Cooking, Dual Control Portable Infrared Stove Countertop Cooktop, Heat-up in Seconds, Stainless Steel White Marble

I chose this particular hotplate because it has two large burners, instead one burner being smaller. It is quite sturdy, but not heavy - you can move it easily from one location to another. The burners heat up quickly, too. It has worked very well for cooking meals - you can brown meats, boil water and sauces, etc. It doesn't make any noise when it operates, other than maybe a slight click when the operating light switches on and off. One potential safety issue that I noticed - when you first turn on a burner, a red light comes on to let you know the burner is operating. It seems that the burner goes through "cycles" in order to maintain the desired cooking temperature. When that happens, the red light will go out. This also happens if you turn down the temperature while cooking. As a result, the red light can be off, yet the burner is still in operation and hot. You need to be sure that you turn each burner's heat setting dial completely to the off position when you are finished cooking. Otherwise, there are possibilities for accidental burns, or even a fire if something is set on the still-hot burners.

Great value for the money. I love the gorgeous appearance of this infrared cooktop with a white marble finish on its stainless steel top, & 2 black durable glass burners which show even, bright red patterns as they heat. It looks so nice, if it wasn't designed as a portable model, I'd install it as a permanent drop-in cooktop in my cabinet. This is my 1st experience with infrared cooking, & I was amazed by how quickly & evenly it heats. I've found mine to be quiet, making no unusual noise. I have no trouble boiling water, or cooking things so they turn out exactly the same as on my gas stove. & Another bonus is it's SO much easier to clean. I've been happily using this model x2 months for all my stove top cooking, & it's doing quite well, but I'll update if anything changes. Highly recommended!

Okayyy so this electric hot plate is actually a whole vibe. It heats up suuuper fast (like no waiting forever for water to boil 😩), and the temperature control is 🔥 precise — I can simmer, boil, or fry without guessing. The surface stays pretty even, so my pot doesn’t wobble, which is a big win.

Overall Burner quality: Decent looking metal surface with printed "white marble" design enamel coating. Entire unit is surrounded in a shell of sheet metal which becomes quite warm to the touch (some would consider it hot) even operating only 1 of the 2 burners on high. Both burners running on high settings makes the entire surface *(including the temperature control knobs!!)* likely too hot for most to touch with bare hands, so gloves or mitts are probably necessary for most operators of this thing. Each burner is 900W, max. They do NOT balance 1800W between them as may be implied in ad headers. In other words, using only 1 of the 2 burners will not allow that burner to use the full 1800W, unfortunately. This seems like a very easy thing to implement in such devices, so I can only assume they would NOT do it in order to use cheaper overall build materials that only have to withstand 900W of single-burner heat output... any single 1800W burner will necessarily be encased in and wired with more robust materials. Alas, 900W max burner units are cheaper because they're... well... cheaper. 😅 Works well: ...enough. At my elevation of about 700' above sea level, one (preheated bare) 900W infrared/ceramic burner at full power takes about 20 minutes to reach a gentle simmering boil of a gallon of water, which appears to be the best boiling it can do for my test pot: *Test pot is 6Qt capacity, filled with about 4Qt of our well (spring 🤤) water from the tap. The pot's bottom plate precisely covers the full diameter of the heated ceramic surface, exactly. Fwiw, the pot is a Carote brand, detachable-handle, ceramic nonstick coated, aluminum pot with a mild-steel-insert baseplate for induction-readiness. I'll attach a video. Why did you pick this product vs others?: So far, it's worth about what I paid for it. I.e., not more than 80 bucks.

Excellent quality! Too expensive for me (SS) to buy a stove just because the burners didn't work. I bought universal elements that ending up being too big and ruined the insert area. My oven worked just fine.

Who says hot plate are low brow??! Downsizing my kitchen. This is really nice looking and I'm loving it.

I like the way the hot plate looked , it was very easy to clean . After just the first use a small place on the burner seemed to be peeling, I wished I'd taken a picture of it before sending it back . The other thing I did not like that both burners were the same size and 900 was just not efficient for high temperature cooking like frying. I ended up ordering a different model.

Me encantó muy funcional

It justw works !

This is a decent product, does the job and is "easy to clean"... now, the reason I use air quotes and give it only three stars is because of two issues with it. 1. Because the dials are on the top, you cannot use large pans on the side because the dials get in the way, so that side is only for small/medium pots and pans. 2. I was cleaning it, the other day, and I washed off the dial labels! The 1-10 heat markers completely washed off! All I used was standard Lysol house cleaner and it just wiped right off... not the biggest deal but still a flaw in the product I wanted to point out to potential buyers! Other than those two issues, it works well, and looks nice.

Very slow to heat anything. Even when I start with kettle boiled water it took over an hour to cook the food! Useless.

Bought this product cuz my main burner stopped working. Property management said they won't be able to fix it for a week due to some electrical issue. I bought this 4 days ago. It worked fine the first 3 days. The 4th day it started doing this issue. It will turn off automatically. Very disappointed.
