Karinear Portable Electric Cooktop, Electric Stove Single Burner Ceramic Cooktop with Touch Control, Child Safety Lock, Timer, Residual Heat Indicator, Overheat Protection, 1800W 110V Infrared Burner

I bought this for a couple reasons. 1st to be used while camping. The grill is great but not for boiling water or making soup. 2nd, because it is a ceramic top and easy to clean. I boiled a medium pot of water to a rumbling boil on max heat in roughly 10 minutes. I was boiling potatoes so the pot was quite full. Dropped the temp down as it boiled over to the boil temp and that kept it at a very light boil. Enough to cook my soon to be mashed potatoes but not make a mess. Very simple to use. I just assume to use the presets. Makes it easier for me to remember how I cooked what. I did not find it load like others but I was using it outside the camper. You do hear the fan, nlt going to lie but I had multiple things cooking and was occupied enough with that, music and drinks. It was a non issue for me. The only thing I will say is from other photos, it seems the feet are different on each. Mine had small pencil like feet with little rubber anti-skid pads. Not big rubber screw on ones. Whick I think I would prefer. But that is my only complaint and it did not effect anything on how I use it or how it performed. It is also pretty slick looking. Time will tell on the quality and durability of it. It will always be stored in the pop-up and will get jostled around when traveling.

Very happy with this purchase! It's intuitive, easy, and compact while being extremely functional for my once a week needs. I have an induction over so some of pots and pans don't work with it and I've been using this for almost 2 years now and it's been nothing but perfect! I make sure it's stored indoors wrapped in plastic to protect against dust, and at the end of every cook I leave it plugged in to let the fans continue to run to cool it fully down. Compared to the rest of competition on the market, this was an absolute steal!

This item has been performing well enough for heating soup/preparing coffee in a work site camper van. However...for these purposes...the 1000 watt setting has been unnecessary. At this temperature, this item makes an entire room too hot. And this has been in use through October to December. For summer coffee making, this item would transform a small space into a sauna. On the lower setting, (600 watts) this item boils water and heats soup to "piping hot". Correct shape of saucepot is necessary. This won't work if the bottom surface is curved, waffled, un-even, or lop-sided. (has been tested for preparation of grill cheese sandwiches. At the seller's recommendation for 1000 watts, this portable burner burns the cooking oil off way too fast. With 600 watts and some patience, you can prepare decent grill cheese sandwiches. )

I got this to cook outdoors. Who wants all this smoke in the house? Plus beautiful FL weather makes me want to spend the day out in the sun! The cook top works as intended, easy to use, easy to control temp, and also easy to clean and store. wish it was a tad bit bigger.

I do like that it boils water better than any other hot plate I have used. This was the main reason for purchasing it. It also has a nice feature of letting you know the plate is still hot after use. I have only been using it for approx. 3 weeks so I cannot attest to its longevity, but overall it does what it states it does.

I bought this some time ago but never got to use it extensively until a couple months ago. When I plug the cooktop in the socket all the lights in the house flicker. This could mean a potential hazard. I tried other cooktops/hotplates and they don't have this issue. On a couple occasions it switched off in the middle of cooking. I have no idea why. I really wanted to like this cooktop as I did endless searching before purchasing. I initially want to use it on my portable generator but it draws so much power. I will admit it does boil water for soup fairly well and when switched off it does not take a long time to cool off. The cooling fan is a bit high when in operation. Not really a fan.

Very unique finish for this type of burner. Easy to clean and seems like it will stay nice after a lot of use. Very quick heating times and an adjustability.
