VBGK Single Burner Electric Cooktop, 1800W Portable Countertop Burner Ceramic Glass Hot Plate

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.

They made the buttons so you have to press and hold. I like that as there is no accidental press on them

good product. easy for cleaning, takes some time to heatup but once heated works perfect. A bit noisy . suitable for pans that are in the size of the heating rim.

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 have it for almost two years with no complaints and I do recommend,
