OVENTE Electric Countertop Double Burner, 1700W Cooktop with 7.25" and 6.10" Cast Iron Hot Plates, Temperature Control, Portable Cooking Stove and Easy to Clean Stainless Steel Base, Silver BGS102S

This product exceeded my expectations in every way! The high durability ensures it can withstand regular use and still hold up perfectly over time. With its multiuser functionality, it's a fantastic solution for households or workplaces where multiple people need to use it—it accommodates everyone effortlessly. The low price point makes it an absolute steal compared to similar options on the market, providing excellent value for money. On top of that, the fast shipping was a huge bonus; it arrived earlier than anticipated, ready to go right out of the box. The quality fit is another highlight—it feels sturdy and well-made, with no flaws or uncomfortable edges. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase! Would definitely recommend it to others looking for reliability, functionality, and affordability in one package.

The breaker on our oven/stove top has gone out completely, and due to a couple of other, more serious issues cropping up at the same time, we won't be able to get it fixed for a few months. So, after a few weeks of "roughing it" with instant pot meals only, we decided to get a dedicated cooktop. And I wish we had ordered it as soon as the breaker went out, because this thing is fantastic! Works extremely well and does exactly what you would want a cooktop to do - cook lol.As others have stated, it's got a little plastic smell to it when you initially use it, but by the second use it was gone for us. It's also not as quick to heat as I was expecting it to be from the reviews, but I think that ultimately depends on what youre used to cooking on. For us, it's a little slow compared to our stove, but we have friends with comparable stoves to ours that lag far behind this cooktop in terms of heating speed. Regardless though, it's speed isn't too bad at all and very easy to get used to after a few uses! Especially for the price!!!The cast iron plates that transfer the heat do stay hot for a lot longer than glass or the traditional wire heating elements, so be aware of that after cooking! Usually takes about 20 minutes or so to cool to a safe touching temp from full high heat! However, imo it's the perfect trade off to not be able to drop food into the burner while cooking lol.All in all, a great cooktop! It feels great to able to properly cook in my own home again. If you have a similar situation to us, or just need a decent cooktop for travel or camping, I can't reccommend this cooktop enough!

I'd give it 4.5 - 5 if it fully heated-up faster (takes a few minutes). But, for the price, it's hard to beat for cooking smaller items - eggs, a hamburger, small steak. Doesn't rwally have the heat output/capacity for cooking larger skillet meals.

Love this hot plate. Does exactly what I needed and I have had zero issue with heat up time.

My wife loves the hot plate it's durability is great no smoke looks good works well the size is perfect for our camper no smoke we love it

This deserves 3.5 stars but I don’t have that option.THE GOOD: The item is compact and easy to travel with, does what it says it will do, has a sleek, aesthetically-pleasing design, easy to clean, reasonably durable, and has a good amount of length on the cord. Pretty quick cool-down. Perfect for camping with a portable source of electricity that can handle the plug size and energy consumption. Used for a makeshift mini-kitchen while renovating and it served its purpose.THE LESS GOOD: My only real complaint is that it takes a fair amount of time to heat. Notably longer than a standard gas or electric burner on a stovetop. Once it gets there- you’re golden. So if you need something for a small space that will fit in a tote bag but heat a full saucepan and don’t mind waiting a few minutes more for your meal, it’s great!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Amazing. Didnot expect it to heat up this fast and retain the heat. I have my kitchen remodeling happening and needed some stove other than instant pots. Was skeptical while buying but beat my expectation. Worth buying. It’s a keep and savior.

I ended up having to buy a Mainstays coil burner hotplate too at Walmart too, because when frying things this hotplate does not get hot enough while the other one does, but this one is safe while cooking while the other one is not and will crust and burn food. Now I use both, this one for safe cooking, the other for frying. Both measure 930W on a wattmeter, but this one cuts off at a lower temperature, while the coil burner from Walmart has the coils visibly red hot, and cuts off not as a function of coil temperature, but what temperature it records inside the body of the unit somewhere. When I prepare rice, I like to fry it in a ton of oil until it gets pink-light brown, then drain most of the oil and pour water on it and boil it to make it swell up. This unit is unable to make it pink-brown, only white, while the Walmart coil burner is able. Also when frying, say bologna, in an egg-flour coating, this unit is only able to fry it white, it will not give it a nice crispy golden-brown look, while the Walmart Mainstays one will. This one is great for cooking not as much for deep frying. So I start out with the Walmart one, fry the rice, drain the oil, but for the water cooking part I switch to this one as it's safe and won't crust the starch on the bottom while cooking in water unlike the other one. Also my uncle had a ton of tomatoes in his garden and I got buckets and buckets full, and to preserve I cook them then freeze in plastic containers. On setting 4 out of 5 on the dial this one does not crust the tomatoes or just very slightly, while still giving a nice boiling simmer over 3-4 hours in a 20 quart pot with a glass lid, unlike any other burner or a gas stove. Tomatoes are notoriously hard to cook without crusting. I gave it 4 stars as it would be nice to get a higher temperature out of it, and just dial down the dial for a lower one. But I really like it, easy to clean, and I'm happy with it.
