CUSIMAX Electric Hot Plate for Cooking,1800W,Cast Iron

Currently I've got a 220 line that is shorting so an oven/stove combo doesn't function. Needed something to stand in temporarily. When doing research on a little stovetop like this, often I found everyone raving about Cuisinart. Well...yeah it reviews well but when you really get into customer reviews you find that the burners are in a setup where the 2nd burner can't do much more than keep stuff warm. So you are paying for a two burner setup with a gimped burner because? In comes Cusimax. These get good customer reviews for a reason. They solve this problem and provide a good quality burner for the money. Power level is balanced 50/50 between each burner and is more than enough to cook with. I got the model with the metal case since it has a larger surface area and seemed more stable. Cusimax is one of the few I found which makes one like this. Most go for more portability. So another plus if portability is not what you desperately need. So what it isn't? It isn't induction. You won't be seeing things get super hot real fast. Time to get water up to a boil seemed on par with the stovetop I was using before. No complaints. Overall, it's helping out a lot in a pinch. Only thing of note I've noticed is the left burner seems to stay on longer than the right. The right tends to trip it's overheat protection and switch off for a moment. It isn't long and I'm not sure if it happens when not at max heat. Gotta test more but, so far, satisfied.

Cooking made easy! Well made! Temperature/heat up is amazing! This is an add on to our kitchen gadget, been a while that have look for a good options, tried at least 3 brand/model, finally settled with this! Cooking is similar with a normal stove, where all of the available portable stove is kind of similar with the base plate size, this have a dual (2) glass plate look/made, it is a 7” in diameter.. On a standpoint of using a big casserole or even a wok, may required some hand support through handle of your kitchenware if you are going to do some mixing since the plate is just nice to have it sit, on the other-hand this particular model is by far the best and sturdy, advantage is good grip and balance rubber feet, and also the width have an advantage of being a little wide (L 19 3/4”; W 13”). Temp controller is smooth to control and heat up as desired/quick.. Cleaning is also very easy to maintain. The picture uploaded showing after even multiple times of used. Yes, I normally put back the plastic on the plate for add on protection since used is occasional (Personal as making sure it is COOLED before doing so), after cleaning with a little moist dump cloth or paper towel, dry it up and let it sit for more air dry.. Overall, would highly recommend and we are very happy with this!

This is definitely the best hot plate I have used. Every other hot plate takes FOREVER to heat up and boil water. This one started boiling water in 2 min! Its great! So far I have only used it for eggs and other breakfast foods but it does the job. We have a very small kitchen in our apartment and unfortunately our stove broke so instead we got a hot plate. Of course it is not the same 😣 but this one has a big punch 👊 i am so glad I went for it and made the purchase. I will update after I try making chicken marsala and tacos 😊 Update:::: still works!! So thats a plus, but ive also now made tacos, soup, chicken, beef A+

We read all the reviews and purchased this even when others have had trouble. The first thing we did was boil water and time it. The water in a one quart pan went from tap temperature to 212 degrees in 8 minutes at 300 ft elevation. So, the not being able to boil water does not seem apparent. It took 20 minutes for the top to cool down to the touch. We cook breakfast on this unit bacon, eggs and sausage. It is a little slower than my gas cook top, but a tenth of the cost. The whole unit wiped down to its original shine in seconds. Easy to clean Pros: Easy to use Temp settings seem to work good Easily cleaned, smooth surfaces Stores in a drawer Good plate for the price Great as a simmer plate to keep food warm. Cons: Surface is hot but not extreme Could use a handle to wind the cord around when storing Overall, Satisfied with the unit. Would recommend if you need additional burners or simmer plate

I am very happy with this high quality electric infrared cooktop. Both burners on the unit are sized nicely large at 7 inches, unlike most portable double burner hotplates which have one large and one small burner. The unit is designed to be easy to clean with a stainless steel body without crevices and other uneven surface details. The infrared glass burners get hot much quicker than cast iron burners. It brings water to a boil in a full 2 quart tea kettle in 9 minutes. Not bad at all. The power cord is only 40" long, but suitable power extension cords are available on Amazon at 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 15, 20, and 25 feet lengths. I ordered a 1 foot long Monoprice power cord to get the perfect power cord fit for my Cusimax electric cooktop.

Used this on my trip during Covid-19 when food options were limited in hotels especially when hot breakfast was not provided and I did not want to go out and order expensive meals every day. It was able to make milk tea or chai in 4 mins, quickly scramble eggs, omelets, cook rice and heat up foods very very quickly. I wonder why I have such an expensive cooktop at my home when this does such a fabulous job at preparing meals. I used heavy stainless steel copper bottom sauce pans and nonstick pans. Cleanup is very quick due to the stainless steel surface. Love it. and it will accompany me on my next road trip. I recovered the complete cost of this in my very first trip. Construction feel good and strong and holds up quite well even when stored vertically

Excellent product

I purchased this item becuase I moved and due to construction I couldnt use my stove. This is the second Cuismax double burner I buy and there is always a defect with these. I just started using this dual burner last week. This particular burner I recieved stays on after you turn it off. Without knowing the defective burner stayed on all night and the next morning without knowing it was on I placed my groceries and other items on counter top around the burner. The bags melted on the burner and damaged a brand new top and undergarments I purchased. To be clear, when you turn the knobs for the burner to tun off, the burner is still on, on high heat. I cant believe refunded per Amazon because I purchased it over the 60 or 90 day policy I cant recall what was the amount of days the person said. It was irrelevant to the person when I started using it and why.

As my only cooking appliance this product fills all my needs. Its heats up amazingly fast. And it is extremely efficient for all my needs. Very happy with my product choice. My only gripe would be the price. It cost more than my last kitchen range. I don't mind paying for quality, so now its just a question of time. Will it continue to be both efficient and effective with daily use over the years?

It works great very easy to clean 👌

Looks great. Heats up fast. Good product.

Cleans up good; heats up fast and takes a bit longer to cook with larger pot..highly recommended!

This is an excellent stove. I do regular cooking with this and it has been amazing.
