ChangBERT Induction Cooktop, Commercial Grade Portable Cooker, Large 8” Heating Coil, 18/10 Stainless Steel Countertop Burner with NSF Certified, 10 Hours Timer, Powerful 1800W Professional Hot Plate

I bought this single induction cooktop to save space in my RV for the summer. My old double burner took up a lot of counter space and wasn’t easy to move. This one—sleek, portable, easy to store. Well built. Runs quieter than my old unit, which had a noticeably louder noise when in use. Heats fast, evenly. Simple to use.In the RV, works just like a professional induction cooktop. Handles 12-inch pots no problem. At 1800 watts, heats way faster than my old double burner ever did.Used it outside once with a portable power station. Output maxed at 1500W, so I set it to 1000W to be safe—didn’t want to drain the battery before breakfast. Even at that setting, cooked better than expected. Used around 25% battery after 15–20 minutes.Thinking about bringing it back into the house for daily use.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I first bought a different model from this brand about two years ago to use for outdoor cooking in the backyard—it worked great and held up well. So when I needed another one last year, I went with their updated version. I’ve been using it almost every day for the past year, and it’s still going strong. Now I’m thinking about getting a third one for my parents. They prefer something quiet and easy to use, and this fits the bill—especially since it’s flameless and safer than a gas stove..Honestly, I didn’t realize how quiet it was until I saw what my friends were using. Some other brands make this high-pitched noise when running—it gets annoying fast. This one is barely noticeable even when cooking for a while. Perfect for my folks.Another thing I really like is the control panel. This model uses real push buttons instead of a touch screen, which is a big plus when buying for older family members. Many seniors feel unsure about touch panels—they often worry whether the controls will respond, especially if their fingers are dry, or if the panel is too sensitive. Physical buttons give clear feedback and are much easier to trust. It just performs simple.A few weeks ago, I had hot pot at a friend’s house, and their induction burner really struggled to bring the soup back to a boil after adding frozen ingredients—it took quite a while. That reminded me how well this one performs—mine heats back up quickly and doesn’t make you wait around.After a full year of use, it still looks clean and new. The flat glass surface is easy to clean, and unlike the plastic cooktops that start to look old.I am thinking to buy the second one during Prime Day with a deal. But honestly, even without the discount, I still think it’s totally worth the price.

This product is well made, solid. Has a professional feel. While it does have a fan for cooling, its not loud. I'm very happy with this burner and we're loving it. Heats up pans very fast, but has a 200 setting for lower heat. Have not yet tried to simmer something but it is working great for cooking breakfasts and boiling water. Really handy for taking to vacation cabin where there's only a horrible electric range. Also can cook outside as its portable (use suitably heavy extension cord for the watts/amps & distance) which is nice for like canning things where you don't want all the heat in the kitchen (or the mess! ) Anyone who takes cooking seriously should try this induction burner.Also, note that these controls are not "a touch sensitive" panel like some have, it has membrane push buttons - so that dripping condensed water from removing a lid or something spattering doesn't make changes to your settings! Cleans easily and has adequately long cord, another positive.

The temperature control settings spacing is too far apart. It's probably not the best choice for a home kitchen. I like the size, large sauce pans fit. Easy to clean. Fans are noisy so the electronics should never burn out. It's smart, proper material pan must be present before it will work. Still hot safety indicator.

I’ve been using this induction cooktop for a few months now and I’m honestly loving it. I got it mainly to make kimchi jjigae at home—my comfort food—and it’s been working perfectly.It heats up fast, and both my cast iron skillet and Dutch oven work great on it. The soup gets to a rolling boil quickly at 1800 watts, and then holds a nice simmer at 1000 watts without fuss. Way easier to control than gas.It’s been a great addition to my kitchen. It’s very easy to use. It did take me a couple of tries to decide whether I preferred using the watt or temperature settings—but now I switch between both depending on what I’m making.Also—if you’ve ever cooked kimchi stew, you know it splashes. And I used to hate cleaning my gas stove after. This one’s so much easier to wipe down. The flat glass surface just takes one swipe.I’ve had other induction cooktops before—the cheaper plastic ones. After a while, the casing would get scratched, or just feel worn out. And the touch controls were really hard to use—especially if there was steam or soup splatter on the panel. This one feels way more solid and durable. The buttons are easier to press, even when I’m in the middle of cooking. Just makes life simpler.Now I just keep it set on top of my gas burners so it’s under the vent hood, and I use it basically every day. Definitely one of my better kitchen buys.
