Hamilton Beach Portable Single Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner Hot Plate with Fast Heating Mode, 1800 Watts, 10 Temperature Settings up to 450F, Black (34104)

I bout this a while ago but didn't have the right pans. Since I'm going camping soon I bought the right pans. I used it for the first time on a can of chili on power level 2 at temp 175 it have my chili heated in approximately 1 min. I would definitely recommend but don't walk away it's quick

Best Electronics I ever purchased on Amazon. Rock solid by Hamilton Beach. Using it for Shabu Shabu (hotpot) service at my house. Slightly noisy fan. Heats up fast. Perfect value. Easy cleaning glass top. Recommended. For 6 month I've rode it hard.

Nice simple controls. Smaller footprint would be even nicer.[April 2025 update-FAST heating, you won't need the higher power settings much. For the price, the coil diameter is acceptable, though more even, wider heating would be even nicer.]I was surprised that it seems to very noticeably "cycle" off and on a lot, significantly raising and lowering the temperature/power each time, not that that's really a problem, but infinitely variable control like any resistance or gas stove would be much better. Is this the difference between this "economy" inductance stovetop and the other, much more expensive models? If not, then what IS the difference??As another reviewer wrote, "It has timed cycles like microwaves, not power levels", I think this is a correct description; but is this true of all inductance cooktops? I'd like to know!It will NOT heat the edges of a 10" pan nor pot very well. The dirty little secret of inductance cooktops seems to be that the internal coils are very small, probably less th,jan 6"; Amazon needs to require sellers to write more useful descriptions rather than just endless, unhelpful marketing drivel.All the same, I'm glad I bought it , and I would buy it again!There's a learning curve, this being my first inductance stovetop, especially with the choice of either setting the desired temperature or the desired "power level". It's is very tricky setting a pot of soup to simmer without either over-or under-powering it. Now I see why some models have what I thought was a ridiculous 20 power levels to choose from; continuously variably via a real or virtual dial control would be better.Now that I know I want an inductance cooktop, I'm shopping for a 2 or 3 burner, 240 volt one I can inset into my countertop; I'll definitely want one that let's me choose between setting temperature and setting the power level, OR that offers a huge selection of fine power settings. and I think these should be designed to offer fine-tuning right around the range where I want to simmer a pot of stew or whatever...The biggest issue is that the coil diameter (the coil is hidden, but you can tell it's small)- because the edges of my 10" frying pan and 6-qt. pot don't heat up adequately, requiring constant stirring, and omelets raw around the edges.But, Amazon, YOU HAVE GOT TO POLICE THE CARELESS, VAGUE, AND MISLEADING PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS in most listings. Product descriptions for so many items are expanding into sleazy-looking piles of SPAM, strewn randomly with unrelated but similar-looking things, making Amazon shopping a big headache. YOUR CUSTOMERS DESERVE BETTER!! One two-burner inductance stove errantly listed the power source as "gas"; the seller acknowledged the mistake, but did not correct it.-I say this because as I am trying to select a good inductance stovetop to inset into my countertop, I'm going to be stuck with it for a long time, and the listings are long and misleading, too often written by marketing folks without the slightest understand of basic units of measurement and parameters that buyers might find useful.

Only uses a certain type of cookware. Heats very fast and takes a little while to learn how to cook with it! Good quality, and can't beat the price ! Will go back to my long non-stick electric griddle for cooking breakfast though!!!

La primera vez que la use no calentaba aunque estaba usando un utensilio de acero inoxidable, así que escribí a servicio al cliente y mientras me daban la posible solución me dí cuenta de que el utensilio que estaba utilizando es muy pequeño y no la detectaba. Por si alguien tiene ese problema, prueben con algo más grande (12 centímetros de diámetro mínimo) y si no tienen pongan varios elementos de acero para que funcione correctamente

after 5 months , it not work , I just use oneor two times a week , last time when I use it like inside some parts burned , now the button all working , but never heat up .I have made requests online many time in 2 months , Nobody answer ,

Great exrea burner when needed

With a big family we needed an extra burner and this one works perfectly. It will automatically turn off if the proper pots and pans aren't being used with it which I'm fine with. This item is easy to clean and operate. My husband said he likes how it just has the two prongs for plugging in and not three which makes it more versatile for what he prefers. 10/10 would recommend.
