CUSIMAX 1800W Ceramic Electric Hot Plate for Cooking, Dual Control Infrared Cooktop, Double Burner, Portable Countertop Burner, Glass Plate Electric Cooktop, Silver, Stainless Steel-Upgraded Version

So, far it works great. The housing does get hot to the touch but, that's expected since it's made out of aluminum . solid build quality. It does boil water at a fair amount of time. The cord length is average as expected.I am very satisfied with this product.But, will see in time. I only had it for a week.

Since it's 1500 watts (and not the 1000 watts widely available; I blame the "greenies") I can boil water in 10 minutes. Sure beats the 60-minute time which never really got water to boiling. Now I anticipate taking less than 5 hours to make bagels.

I purchased the CUSIMAX 1800W Double Hot Plate (C180N) back in March, and overall, it’s been a solid addition to my kitchen setup. The stainless steel finish gives it a sleek look, and it’s incredibly easy to clean. The cast iron burners heat up fairly quickly and handle everything from boiling water to pan-frying without much issue.What I love most is how portable and compact it is—perfect for small apartments, backup use when the main stove is busy, or even outdoor setups with power access. It’s sturdy, doesn’t slip on the counter, and feels well-built.A few minor cons:It takes a little time to cool down, so I have to be careful after use.The temperature control isn't super precise, so there's a bit of trial and error when cooking certain dishes.It works best with flat-bottom cookware—some of my older pans didn’t sit evenly.All in all, it’s been a great buy for the price. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone needing a reliable countertop burner for everyday use or as a backup stove.

Looks and works exactly as described. It's a bit larger than I expected but I'm very happy about that. Should handle a large frying pan or pot. Heats quickly and evenly. Made some really good stew with this thing. Exactly what I was looking for.... THANK YOU !!!

I couldn’t be more happier with this burner. I’d say it cooks better than my stove! We are remodeling our kitchen, so we needed to make a little makeshift kitchen to get us by. This has been ideal. I’m actually gonna use it in hotel rooms and stuff in the future. Amazing product and cheap price!!

I placed 4 cups of water in an open pot and turned the hotplates temperature to the maximum setting while monitoring the unit's power consumption with a watt meter (see photo). From a cold start it took approximately 11.5 minutes for the 4 cups of water to reach a rolling boil and the watt meter never went above 1390W (for comparison, it took 7.5 minutes to boil the same water on our gas stove). These numbers were within my expectations when I purchased this hot plate.However, what I didn't expect was that within the time it took to boil the water the entire body of the hot plate became extremely hot. The entire unit is made of metal and it rapidly conducts the heat of the cast iron top. I couldn't touch the body of the unit at all without getting burned and I couldn't touch the temperature dial for more than a second at a time before it became too painful, and after only 12 minutes of being turned on! It also has no internal fan so the internal wiring harness is also getting cooked inside it's oven-like shell at the same time, which I have no doubt will inevitably lead to a major fire hazard with enough use.This hot plate is such an insane safety hazard I'm shocked that there aren't hundreds of reviews of people, or their children, with 3rd degree burns after accidently touching the hot plate after use or photos of scorched countertops/cabinets when the internal wire harness melted.I really wanted to like this product since cast iron hotplates are so cheap and robust in design but this is unacceptable. I ended up purchasing an portable infrared cooktop instead and even though it only runs at 1190W it managed to boil the 4 cups of water in about the same amount of time from a cold start and the body of the unit remained cool to the touch throughout the test. This Cuisimax hot plate should be removed from Amazon for consumer protection.

I’ve been using this portable electric burner for about a month now. Overall, it’s a handy little appliance if you need an extra burner for your kitchen or a portable option for travel, but there are a few things you should know before buying.First, the power isn’t quite what I expected. It does get the job done for simple tasks like boiling water for pasta or making a quick omelet but it takes noticeably longer than a regular stovetop. If you’re hoping to sear steaks, deep fry, or do any heavy-duty cooking, this probably isn’t the right fit. Other people said the same, the wattage just doesn’t quite deliver on speed.Another thing I noticed is that the burner sometimes heats unevenly. The center gets hot fast, but the edges aren’t as strong, so it can be tricky to cook larger pans evenly.As for the build quality, it’s lightweight and compact, which is great for storage and portability. However, the construction feels a little on the flimsy side. I haven’t had any major issues yet but I’m not sure how well it will hold up with frequent use. The surface also gets really hot, so you’ll want to be careful not to touch it while it’s running or cooling down.All in all, this is an okay option for occasional or light use, especially if you’re tight on space. Just don’t expect the power or durability of a full-size stove. It’s good for what it is, but I’m not sure I’d rely on it for anything beyond the basics.
