OVENTEElectric Countertop Single Burner, 1000W Cooktop with 6" Stainless Steel Coil Hot Plate, 5 Level Temperature Control, Indicator Light, Compact Cooking Stove and Easy to Clean, Black BGC101B

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

The media could not be loaded. It does take a little time to cook, but it is amazing. All you have to do is wait for it to boil. You have to wait for it to fully heat up and then put the pan on and then put the boiling water on for the wait for the water to boil and then you have to put the pasta on. It works super well. I put it on max. It didn’t boil over once. Thank you ovente!
