I originally thought I wanted a convection hot plate but research revealed those require a particular type of pan, so I looked into the infrared hot plates instead. The Cusimax heats extremely quickly and is so much more efficient than my gas stove. In fact, I didn't realize how inefficient my stove is. It heats the handle of one of my best frying pans until it cannot be handled without a glove. The Cusimax, because it comes in direct contact with the pan, delivers even heat where it's needed. I am getting a much better sear on meats which is great. Because the Cusimax heats differently (more efficiently), I am incurring a new learning curve about cooking times. Everything cooks more quickly which is great, but I am having to re-figure out how long to cook meats and things since they are cooking more quickly. I have been using the Cusimax a few weeks now, and the only downside has been that the "ON" and "OFF" markers wore off almost immediately, so it is now longer obvious when the switch is in the "OFF" position. In the attached photo, it is in the "OFF" position, but it is not easy to discern. There is a light that indicates when the heating elements are powered up, but that will turn itself on and off automatically to regulate the heat. I will probably have to create a sticker to make it clear when the device is turned off. Instead of using paint that wears off, maybe create an embossed dial. This is otherwise a great product that delivers a much better cook than my gas stove!

works well and will boil water. I think when you use both cooking eyes, the power is divided among the two, but still works to get stuff cooked.

I cannot believe how this heats up to the highest level in seconds. I cooked 5 hot dogs in minutes...thoroughly! I bought the infrared. I just got it yesterday, used it today for the 1st time, so I don't know about withstanding the test of time. So easy to use.and easy to clean. It's pretty lightweight, so I don't expect it to take much wear and tear Lots of plastic. I have a beautiful cook top range, with 5 burners and two of the burners switch to two different sizes each. It looks especially nice when it's clean and shiny. I got tired of cleaning the whole top when I used only one pan So I saw this appliance and thought, why not try this and use it for those "one pan" times, so that all I have to clean is one little burner. OMG what a great idea. It's very modern and sleek looking too, so it looks good sitting right out on top of my existing range. I'm going to try to use it every day for about 2 weeks and see if I think it will last. If I like it we'll enough, I may buy the 2 burner one. Today I love it and am very happy with my purchase. I am Very Glad I opted for the infrared one. I think that might be why it's so fast and even to heat up. Great buy. Price if definitely right. Very fast delivery..less than 24 hrs.

This product is fantastic! I like to cook from scratch with fresh ingredients. This little cooktop has allowed me to cook everything I want to just as i do on my full size range. I have used this daily since it arrived over a month ago as I am doing a complete renovation on my kitchen. I chose this particular model after a lot of research. It was the only cooktop I could find where both burners are equal and high wattage. It heats up quickly since it uses infrared heat. Only the hot plates get hot. So I don’t need to fear burning my fingers when I touch the control knobs or any other part of the cook top. I highly recommend it.

Terrible stove can not use both at the same on high settings. One of them will turn off if you decide to use both of them. maybe I received a flawed one but it should have worked without an issue. it looks nice a clean. love the black look. the size and storage to put it away is not bad to stash or keep outside. the value for the money could be lower because of the wattage issue that happens when using both stoves. I would give it 5 stars if it both of them worked at the same time. the thing cooks well and fast. just be careful if you scratch the bottom of the stove its easy to make them scatched up because of the glass shiny look. so dont be rought with your pots, make sure your not stirring your pot around like a chef. The Thickness of the stove is great not too bulky at all. Overall this items looks safe does not feel like a fire hazard. would give it a better rating like i said, if the manufacturer reads this send me another and i will change my review.

My husband prefers using this to heat something quickly rather than use the new stove. Whatever makes him happy!

Heats up, cools down, reheats back up, then you guessed it, it cools back down. All the while, your food never fully cooks, it just kinda heats up and cools down
